#Codebreaking Discussion
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
All you discussion can go in here! I will be posting the first part very soon
oh and btw the role you get for completing all the parts is the <@&443843061618049045> :)
Well, I got one part of the message decrypted, and I see hintings of what to do next but not sure where to go with it lmao
🤔
I will ping some hints in here as I go along
As I'm so kind x
I will give you all the night when I go to sleep and post a hint in the morning
Already getting dms from y'all smashing the first few steps which is great to see!
Right y'all have been crazy quiet so I'm giving you a hint before I go to bed
Hint 1
It might just be me but I think something on the telegram is spelt wrong, and it's so weirdly capitalised too... Weird
Morse code. i'm in!
I just got a bunch of random numbers. o.O
I think it's Morse code and Vigenere code, but I have no clue on the key.
That’s exactly what I thought too
But no matter what I do I don’t know what I’m trying to decode
Or what the key is
The Time ends inside out and non - capital letters is TTEIOAN Backwards? NAOIETT
points to msgs
Oh
how
I think I know the key
what is it
why did u turn into a baby
?
idk ur pfp changed
Do you gotta know coding language or something to solve this
shake hasn't told me the answers
but don't think you do
i think you do need to understand (or learn to understand) some forms of codebreaking patterns/algorithms/designs/whatever though
Oh okay
i reckon you could probably pick up a lot of this stuff pretty quickly though, and it's all also quite interesting and cool things to learn as well
I will give it a shot 
yeah that's what I think too
Okay uhh I got random words but I can’t figure out a “key” to decipher it
Wait hold up I think I got the key
Lemme try
Good morning code breakers
How's it going
Ooh someone in here has everything they need to solve it
The first part has officially been answered by someone 👀
shhhhhhhhhakeeeeeeeee tthaaaaaaaaaatttttttt
Hey Aaron
So, is the key hidden in the image or the story 👀
It's hidden somewhere
Is it possible that we can find the answer and not know what it means?
Possibly, you can DM me and I'll tell you if it's the answer or not!
You could theoretically guess the answer too which I'd also accept haha
i think i got it

This is really cool
Looks like morse code
I wish i didnt have work i wanted to try this 😭
there is plenty of time bro!
there is going to be 5 different parts so you basically have until I have posted lal those
some people seem to be a lil stuck so will give another hint
Hint 2
Was very strange last night I was logged out of my discord? Apparently because of a new login by someone else, nothing seems to have changed, thought I would check my bio and such but, maybe I missed something?
also this isnt a hint, but when decoding stuff I found that the best site was https://www.dcode.fr/en
there is one exception to this which i will make clear later
Seems like a lot of people are solving it now so I will post the next part at 8pm GMT tomorrow
W
Okay change of plans I am going to be posting it now! I am seeing Madame web later so won't have time then
Good Luck everyone on this new part!
I’m already lost lol
You got this bro
jus woke up
Got some work to do
gottem
Has anyone solved it 👀
a few people have! I can drop a hint if you are stuckkk
didnt drop any for this one as people seemed to get it kinda quick but I can do
Yes 😭
Part Two - Hint One
I am pretty sure the amount of times that alphabet is written must be signficant. I cant keep looking at this roman guy however...there must be some connection between them
Oh I’ve already figured that
then you are basically there
that is like 2 out of the 4 things you need, and I think you have a third thing too
K lemme try again
dw mate i took way too long to figure it out too
its pretty simple ngl
it is easier than the first one, just need to get the right parts
I will drop another hint later!
Right as people did this one kinda quick, i will give you all options for when I post the next part, react to what you want
Today
Tomorrow
A couple days time
if I dont get any reacts or a winning one, then I will be posting it tomorrow at 8PM GMT
Will you still drop a hint?
Part Two - Hint 2
I wonder if that alphabet is important too? It would seem strange to completely change the alphabet with no reasoning. This along with the times its written and whoever that roman guy is, might lead us to whatever this is
@warped monolith @pulsar schooner you guys will benefit from this
when's the next drop
you live in a crazy timezone I stg
okay what about like 4pm GMT
thats like 8am PST
thats doable
cool 4pm my time it is
cool puzzle
polybius? more like more-bius
haha, I thought the same 😂
Hope you're prepared for the next part as that one is a doosy
I have now also finished part 5!
yikes
man, I'm breaking my head on this
i think im almost done with this, just gotta solve the cypher text
I'm getting weird words after using the cipher
yep
I am seeing a rogue t
@trail pagoda 💀
a 'v' in the second last line beginning
and an 'l' too if you consider the word 'fall' not being redacted completely in the second last line
I'm too sleepy to look at this - will be back at it later (after a coffee or two)
dont think you need to go that down below
Where


Adding extra letters theoretically shouldn't affect your answer
oh, I thought the cipher decoding will change
are we allowed to help others
Oh the 9th line last word
: )
My first hint will cover the exact letters tho so you can wait for that or just see what sticks
okay, will do
not the pic story

@trail pagoda check dms
uh the flavour text right?
also am i the first one
you must be
blud forgor his own puzzle 💀
Oh 100%
easiest one among the three ngl
there's a huge clue inside the announcement text, thats all ill say
well
all of the previous announcements had clues inside them for their puzzles
this one does too
I’m going to do this when I get home
Maybe for a future thing.?
Perhaps
makes sense
with the answer
There is another answer thing you guys are forgetting
There is a reason for all these answers you are getting
@trail pagoda how many mo parts is there?
Two more after this!
5 parts overall
dm rq
You got this bro
I'm still getting weird words 😭
damn yall
Part 3 - Hint 1
So I am guessing that doodle is important, maybe the number of squares relates to something in the text. I feel like my grandfather was pretty consistent so he has probably used things he used before, just like the alphabet
I still feel the other ones were easier
Same
The first one was easiest imo
second one was easier imo 🤷♂️
This is my first time doing something like this lol
I’m surprised I got this far
I enjoy these but don't get the opportunity much
really love the server for hosting this
and @trail pagoda shaking things up 🔥
"number of squares relates to something in the text" - wonder what does that mean
oh you just wait
4 and 5 change the whole game
this was easier than the rest for me
Still can’t figure it out..
New hint needed?
Yeah
Okiii
Part 3 - Hint 2
I wonder what the unredacted letters could mean? Knowing my grandfather they probably aren't even letters, probably numbers or something stupid like that...anyway I'm just waffling
Hmm
Oh!
I was looking way too hard into it
I had the right stuff the entire time..
Easy as hell lmao
I was decrypting it wrong 💀
Got something, not sure if it's right
same!!
you got it?
my brother in christ read the text properly
After looking through the "Historical Figures" Pile for what seemed like hours I decided to move my attention over to what looked like a collection of old novels.
Once I began looking through I was even more confused. To give you some idea of what I am looking at, almost every single book in this pile was in Greek, which was hard enough to figure out as most of the text has been redacted in each of the copies.
From what I can tell from translating what isn't redacted, all the uncensored information seems to reference "Winter" and a translation I can't figure out...Warrior? Fighter? Soldier?...I am not sure.
The redactions seem consistent throughout and luckily the books were organised using that same dodgy alphabet from before, with the exception of no documents appearing under "U".
There was one book that came up more than the others, a few of which were even in English! The redactions in the English copies looked different to the Greek, as opposed to full words, only letters remained.
I have attached the scan below, redactions included, maybe we can use the information we already have? But then again what use have I been so far.
Oh and before any of you ask, I didn't draw on that weird looking tic tac toe grid, seems to just be some doodle done by my grandfather as none of the other books have it on.```
its staring right at you
I got pressure from work too. Crying mess here
🫂 you'll get through it
thanks : )
honestly, I've thought of almost everything but whatever solves the puzzle
this code is super easy, everything you need is in the text
and the image has the code you need to break
need to look harder 🥲
haha, hope it's what I think it is
if u do some slight research on the cipher, it makes it way easier
just go look up how does that cipher work
should give you clues for what you need to look for
yep, I understand that numbers play an important part, but I can't figure out correctly where to get the numbers from
i've been converting alphabets into numbers based on order all this time
you are EXTREMELY close
yeah, but not there yet : (
read this again
keep reading it
this is like
i cant really help you much without spoiling the fun
yeah, let me try again
thanks for the help!
I am a bit busy tonight and so hopefully tomorrow or sunday
yay
sorry to make you guys wait a lil longer, just been a bit swamped
I might be able to post it later tonight, depends on when I get home from london and how awake I am
the next one should take you guys a lil longer to solve so
so uh maybe early = better heh
tbf I would be able to post it within the hour, but I dont have time to check my DMs and such
so would rahter post it when I can look at my DMs too
in fact, how does 10 minutes from now sound
hell yea
I would also like to give a heads up, these last two parts have not been tested as well as the others so I am not 100% certain if they are solvable, but I will make sure that if they arent I will drop extra bits to make them so
damn
tbf Aaron got that crazily quick
it took me 5 mins to complete the entire thing lmfao


w h e e z e
How’d you do it so quickly 😭
dms👅
I knew this cypher well, and everything u need is kinda infront of ya
still need to work on the third one 😂
yep
I don’t know this kind of stuff so it’s a little hard to figure out lol
I have no idea how to use cryptii
Nvm
Nah
I don’t even know what cipher to use
Or whatever
I mean I think I know..
Maybe
Hell this cipher has an entire movie of its own
I think Ik
Since it mentions it a few times
Not really sure how to work it though
It’s probably simpler than I think
Damn
@trail pagoda when we getting a hint 👀
You can get one now as you asked so nicely
Part 4 - Hint 1
I wonder what relevance the red letters and those two words have on the whole thing. I'm sure this isn't just some recipe as Crussao isn't anything real...
@pulsar schooner think thisll help a lot for you
Yeah
I’ll probably do it tomorrow morning
Finale is going to go up tomorrow at 4PM GMT
I'm gonna miss this
nice, 10 pm my timezone
11am for me
9:30 for me 
Part 4 - Hint 2
Having looked over it, I think the actual ingredients may be important, whilst still censored, it seems strange that others arent? Might be something, might not...
Finale - Supplementary
to help you guys out a bit I have managed to copy the "binary error" code from the .exe here you go
AAZZAAZZvAAZZZAAAwZZAAAAZAdZAZZAAAAxAAZZAZAZmAAZZAAZAyAAZAAZZZhAAZZAZAZdAAZZAAZAxAAZAZZZAcAAZZZAAZfAAZZAZZZbAAZZAZAZbAAZZAAZArAAZAAAZAnAZAAZZZAgAAZAAAAAzAAZZAZZZlAAZZAZZZkZZAAAAZAuZAZZAAAAhAAZZAAZAfAAZAAZZZqAAZZAAAZzAAZZAAAZqAAZAZZZAlAAZZAAZAeAAZZAAZZpAAZZAAAAyAAZZZAAAcAAZAAAZAcAZAZAZZZhAAAAZAZAgAAAAZAZAv
Ahh I wish I can do this rn but I can’t 😭
im so stuck in the second step
I don’t even know what the first is
cool! the new one's here
guess ill wait for the hint 😭
im in deep
have you gotten past ||the coordinates?||
a bit, got some stuff
still gotta piece it together
i dont know what to do afterwards
I can’t figure this outt
it leads to ||that washington place for you too?||
yea
what did you do with ||the letters between the AZs||
wont spoil it :3c
yep
Pardon me
ran out of ideas might try again later
Some folks will probably not find some things
Until shake drops sum hints
I did a quick check and found 2 oddities
wdym
People wont get the answer if they dont think outside the box
has anyone won yet?
Nah this one's tricky
u almost there hows u goin
There are way too many things to crack
Im probably further down the line than others
And even im stuck
I might be close?
This one is pretty hard just fyi
When’s the hint dropping?
im stuck at the riddle i hate riddles in puzzles 😭
I can’t figure out what to do first
Probably tomorrow, it's getting late here and I want u guys to work on it for a bit
It's the finale so I'm gonna leave you all a lil longer than the others
let me know when y'all want a hint and I will try and write one up for you all
uh you know where i am so the hint prolly wont help
but go on
Finale - Hint 1
I am not sure what you guys are getting but I am getting some weird riddle straight out of Shakespeare! I have no clue what it means but I have been useless so far! I am still looking for somewhere safer to message you guys, but maybe this leads to some other cypher? or maybe its just some spam emailer messing with me...
I need a hint for this hint 😭
Same 💀
it is difficult as people are at different parts haha
I will drop a bunch of hints for this last one so dont worry
will post another before I go to bed

what part is the hint refering to?
the riddle?
Shake could you post the hint now pls
@pulsar schooner
He said he’s gonna post another one
be patient
Sure
Here is a hint
I'm helping with the beginning on this one, so to those who are further, soz
Finale - Hint 2
So it seems that the exe file has a problem processing numbers and capital letters. This "binary error" may be forcing some of the numbers to be converted to the capital letters spewed out. I don't think it is the same for the lower case letters tho
:v
I gotta help u all equally x
bro
be patient
he doesn't owe you anything
figure it out if u dont wanna wait for hints😭
literally cant see how this could be a hint 😭
btw did you invent the riddle?

Riddle???? 😭
yes i want to DIE 😭
its a bit ahead
I woke up in the middle of the night at 5 am and i might have figured the riddle out trying to sleep again 💀
lmfao
gn
😭
you mf lmao
sneaky ahh
I just can't figure out from where the riddle comes in
I honestly dk what I’m doing
I have no idea what riddle
The hint is talking abt
Idk how to get to it
👍
you got it yet?
Another hint coming tonight!
Sorry my dog isn't well so I've been looking after him x
hopefully its for the part im on 😭
sounds good to me
Its 3 am for me, you better do it soon 😭
Been waitin
For so long
Ok how about pause it until i wake up kekw
💀
Finale - Hint 3
The exe is still throwing me out but it seems that the capitals can only be converted from zeroes and ones, hence the error code. I've been looking into this email too, I'm not certain that Doctor is a real doctor, or even real at all for that matter.
I can't really give hints about the riddle part until everyone is there
Because otherwise I'm just gonna spoil it
Yea this hint didnt help either lmao i already got these
All I can say about the riddle is that a Thesaurus is a real handy thing
...
Huh..
Hm
I’m not sure if that’ll help where I am at rn
I’ll see
Where are u at?
DM me
Hey everyone, your codemaster almost accidentally claimed the nitro prize lmao

Lmfaooo
Honestly
Id give him the nitro
He made some really fun puzzles
Im just here for fun
And to get rid of my piss role
Haha
@robust meadow you gonna take this????
That's true
I would have given the nitro back I promise
@trail pagoda hopefully the next hint can help on wha comes after the riddle? 😭
I technically already have a little
The hints all have parts of later on too
I might be a little MIA over the next few days, my dog is going into surgery on Monday so just keeping him ready for that, will keep posting hints and replying to DMs tho x
hope everything goes well!
just pinning hte hints
will post another at 4pm GMT
will help with the riddle and what to do after that too
Hint 3 does help with after the riddle fyi x
man shake's really working you all hard
shake didn't tell you that this is actually solving captchas for all their bots
Yeah I'm actually just training AI bots to make and sell art
Finale - Hint 4
I am racking my brains here over this riddle, what could it mean, so many words going through my head, everything is scrambled... I have done deep dives into both the "doctor" and his so called "email address" too and both are as mysterious as the riddle. Tattered, Torn, Rag, Disheveled, Broken...what could it all mean
afaik everyone is upto the riddle that is currently trying it so that should help
congrats @elfin bane
ty
congrats!!
Did Pap win?
yep
thank you guyss
Still roles up for grabs tho! So keep it up
Congrats Pap!
tyy
shake did a really good job the puzzles were really fun
I agree Shake did an incredible job
gg!
@elfin bane @willow canopy can one of you talk so I can see the colour
It might be too dark
hi
It's still very dark
better but i still can barely read it
Okay dark purp just isn't the vibe
Let's try more of a aquamarine
That should be better
That's too similar to mightest heros
oo i like it
Def unique
Just do #B00B69
its a really good purple
Jazzberry jam
I agree
Naw
Yea no i got nothing lmao
This is how it ends 😔
I can definitely give more hints
Look through the list of cyphers on dcode, then think of other words for the things in the riddles and see if any fit
Trust me i wasted hours on this
Did this too
Ive spent like 10+ hours on this
The last clue has the actual word that's in the cypher name (basically)
You got this!!!
Wait not even basically, I've even edited the last clue slightly
Ive searched up stuff like "frayed cipher" and ciphers spoken in codes all that stuff too
None of those words are a cipher name
They are I promise
hmmm
till when is the role up for grabs?
Ummm not sure tbh, depends on how long @inland hare allows haha
Has anyone else been able to crack the code
nnnnnnnnnnnop
Will we get more hints 👀
@trail pagoda
I know the cipher but I think I’m missing the inputs
Cuz the ones I tried didn’t work
Same
I'm just gonna help you guys out rather than doing official hints
So I would look at the email and it's sender
That'll help
Well I tried that
Scramble them around
@pulsar schooner @warped monolith you two need anymore help?
@elfin wind and u amigo
i got nothing lmao, mind's blank
@pulsar schooner new role for ya
Yes it is!
🔥
not seen it before so
Well I hope u enjoy
I still don’t know the cypher
Think of different words meaning "frayed" and things related to "birth"
@meager adder should have the role now
@warped monolith any luck? think you are the only one still at it
No 😭
what I woud do is search for things related to "birth" followed by cypher into google
things like child, infant, baby, toddler etc
Alr
Alr Tyy
well two words combined into one
Ik the cipher now I just dk the inputs 😭
that is good! have a look at the ominous email address and mix up the Dr
@warped monolith last day today so can I give u any more help or are u done?
Yeah so I need more help
I’ve tried to mix it up but I don’t know where to go with it
okay I am gonna proper help you out as I dont wanna see you miss out
The email address is the cypher text, the Dr is an anagram and he is the key, and the numbers you need for shifting the text are in the email address @warped monolith
if you need more help lemme know! just ping me
Oh thank you
