 Some of it might be disguised, regex? I see a * and a ' in there. It doesn't decode to anything readable as far as I can tell.  
 right ! it does look like it has some structure to it, and isn't completely random, but as assembly it's complete nonsense

$ rasm2 -a x86 -b 64 -d  '1b84d5b05df4c493c530c2588cdab1d7acaf6e1de11e1a332a85b71db1c96bbff0bc'
sbb eax, dword [rbp + rdx*8 - 0x3b0ba250]

vcmpps xmm11, xmm9, xmmword [rax - 0x74], 0xda
mov cl, 0xd7
lodsb al, byte [rsi]

 googling for that IP shows it is in some blacklists, you're at least not the only target 🙂  
 I appreciate the help :)
