There is no real way to know what sort of encryption it is at all.

The idea of encryption is that the output is produced in a manor that is non-obvious, however, some encryptions do produce teltail marks that identify them.

If this is encrypted using standard blowfish then you would need to either brute force attack it, or use a dictionary.

The one thing that strikes me in this case is that the string is very short, so looks as if it is not blowfish.

Yah. all the programs I tried do not recognise it as being blowfish encrypted.
