oh ok
do you guys think the time signature changes in Numbers II are important
already considered that in the docs
a
201 - 1759031009924
1321 - 17590315940924
5831 - 17590356737924
723 - 1759032467924
743 - 1759032557924
4913 - 17590368887924
879 - 1759039406924
875 - 1759037606924
2145 - 17590343309924
716 - 1758993677924
906 - 1758989186924
4156 - 17589938327924
I thought about the time signature changes but the more I think about it the less likely it seems relevant and more likely just a fun little music detail
It felt so weird to me
I even counted it out and it's useless? I want a refund
The song this time is at an even 128bpm.
Well the little breaks are in 5/4 then 4/4 then 3/4, I can't think of an example but I think it's just a music thing to "balance" the 5/4 measure with the 3/4 measure, along with just a general progression of shorter breaks between because it's spicy
Well it might be indicating the "void" that has to be filled, but I don't think the time signature's gonna help with solving that lol
For the little it's worth, I do appreciate the fact that the hallway section is exactly eight measures.
No Study II 
if anyone really wants, i can put the code for this and a build using pyinstaller on github.
otherwise i am going
put it up, let's try not to duplicate effort
Maybe this is a world.execute(me) reference?
Did the Soundcloud get rid of the XY + odd one out or whatever bit or does it just not show up on mobile
its still there
What's the end goal with all this number stuff anyhow? To find a key to decrypt the Numbers I description?
pff, imagine everything up to this point has just been a bunch of hints for decrypting the Numbers description 
because we are so helpless
Looks like the truth
no we're just stuck on purpose so we get more bangers what do you mean
I mean considering the time between uploads I wouldn't discount it lul
i hope we get the full ghost song as a reward for solving the arg
because we will surely solve it

Man I fell asleep
And watched the thing at 3 am
zip with exe, and needed jsons for it to read. built with pyinstaller on windows, so may not work on all machines
see https://github.com/sby1bd/simple-decrypt for code
Study II 
Inb4 all the Numbers I lyrics and its description are randomly generated by an AI and mean nothing (Generating Lyrics is a pain) but vedal is trolling us by making follow up vids that make it seem like it makes sense
honestly we arrived at these numbers before, it's nice to have confirmation now that those numbers are correct, but the primary problem was that we didn't know what to do with them and we still don't
So it really seems like this video is meant to solidify those findings, so that we stop chasing other theories about the numbers and focus on how to apply what we've found

mili X neuro song confirmed?
I'm really SHIZO, but there's no reason for a dot for nothing
And it's not the first time I've heard a reference to this song
Don't think there's much to the Japanese transcription honestly, it's entirely congruent with the subtitles
I'm either becoming like Alex or it's a clue that no one wants to take on
this line kinda reminds me of world.execute(me);
it would be kinda weird to have the ARG reference world.execute(me); but neuro has sung it 3 times so far and many things seem to be slight references to it
then again it could just be a coincidence since it's a popular song for neuro to sing, and both the ARG and the song are about an AI and vedal is a programmer
world.execute(me); has java and public static void line, thats all for now, so not much
It could be yes, but... i still want try look closer
yeah that's fair, anything that could give us a clue should be pursued
although the song is also very old, so unless vedal somehow planned for this more than 7 years in the past and reached out to Mili to make the song have subtle clues to the ARG, it's probably a dead end right?
But tomorrow (today after sleep), since i not good at all this arg things, i don't think i will found something and i need time.
He can still use something from video 
have any of you tried checking the storyboard for world execute in osu
true, but he wouldn't be able to have any clues in the song itself, so everything has to at most simply be a reference to it
i only say cause the world execute storyboard is famous. it was and still is one of the most intricate beatmap storyboards
and it has lots of background details
I searched it up and it seems to just be the same background as the yt video
Since I'm not good helper in arg, it can be something or just interesting waste of time for me
yeah, just saying it will probably be a dead end, still probably worth checking out though
Yeah...
what yt video?
This is just the best storyboard i've ever seen! Tell me in the comments how you think about this awesome SB!!
Enjoy!
Map : https://osu.ppy.sh/s/470977
oh yeah that's an unofficial video that someone other than Mili made I think
thats the osu storyboard
Considering she also sang world execute in her v2 debut stream which was the same time the ARG started, I just think its something to consider
and starting off as an osu playing AI
the connections are there
5head
how much progress has been made
please ping me if someone finds sound effects (including breathing) to be samples or if someone finds what voice generator that was used for japanese, thank you
gained clues from new video, but havent been able to use it to solve things we were stuck on yet i think
we are almost sure about number 1 instruction (algorithm) now with the new clue
alright
it's a good news
yeah but they could just be a coincidence, we don't know until we look into it
oh ok
theyre not. A decent amount of song choices have been songs that are also popular beatmaps in osu and world.execute is one of those
ok so world.execute was probably chosen as a song for neuro to sing partially because of osu, but that doesn't mean it's connected to the ARG
I don't know if this is meaningful, but I found the meaning of skipped digits that looks like glitches:
After key was generated, we take input number (201, 1321, etc), check its digits and modify generated key:
all occuruences of 1st digit are deleted, then dash added on top of digit following to deleted. If deleted digit is the last, dash added on top of empty place like in 4913 and 4156.
all occuruences of 2nd digit replaced with b
all occuruences of 3rd digit replaced with musical note with three dashes on top
all occurrences of 4th digit are deleted, three dashes are added on top of digit following to deleted

@dusk star has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)
HOLY ARG
I haven't yet xd
Probably unrelated, but \ in a string is usually for escaping characters
i guess its time for me to check the doc for once again 
it released at a really unfortunate time for me
I thought the YT countdown was the video and I thought I missed half of it lol
I've figured out the lore
The girl can't solve a captcha and can't do anything else as a result 
Spectrogram was a neat clue dunno what to use it for myself
Beginning of the video seems to confirm and clarify what the lyrics of Numbers 1 wanted to do
ok
this is uncanny
the fanfic/arg-inspired story im writing has a ton of similarities to this video-
the heck
ig that might mean my interpretation of the story trying to be told is decently accurate?
but gahdamn
this vid has to be the best produced one yet
oooo ye thats cool
sem, tho i could have woken up a little earlier to watch it. Premiered at 7am for me
iirc it was 1am for me which would have been fine if it wasnt on a workday
cant tell if shes crying or breathing heavily in fear at the start
oh wait shes crying
japanese voice asks why she's crying
but also asks why shes afraid, so i guess both are true
Seems to relate to Study
yeah "Got myself another test"
There's heavy breathing in both vids and door noises? Knocking in study and a muffled closing in Static Void
Sounds like she's stuck in a cycle of needing to study, not studying, and suffering because of it (anxiety likely)
Not sure if there's time passing or if she's stuck in a time loop 
Stands out as being the only one being between human and artificial perhaps
But how does 'falling' fit into it?
Far from home?
There's some interesting lore questions here
just noticed her voice gets deeper when she starts fading
"Never-ending life still stuck in loop"
2 more weeks till the next banger
I think I saw a ghost full???
study 2
In what language? I use py and it didn’t work for me or I didn’t understand/didn’t do it properly?
also, this isnt in the doc, but the rythm and beats of the new video is similar to numbers 2. The first part before the breathing atleast
Rip
Most of em (including python). Like \n being used for newlines
Oh yea kinda get it now
Youtube just recommended this channel to me and it has a playlist that got updated yesterday called "Public Static Void Main (String Arrangement", I'm scared. https://youtube.com/channel/UCO1ayqdF-7Lz8cRKOOZ2ODg
That is probably not the neuro arg lol
and its much closer to the public static void Main(string[] args) that its based on
Imagine the insane move it would be to play the YT algorithm as a step in an ARG.
Yeah it's from 2018 so
Did we get the part of the lyrics in ?Japanese? transcribed?
there was this
Can someone who can read it copy the relevant part into the docs? I presume not all of message, i'm not just gonna copy paste blindly x)
ty ty to all!
I can’t do cryptography, so I’ll continue to be morale support
Thought this youtube comment was interesting
Would imply that we're missing the first two numbers possibly - indexed 0 and 1
could be, though the left-hand numbers are actually the same numbers as in Numbers II. Their format don't lean into the idea of there being 2 additional numbers, just 3 or 4
i see dark everywhere but i don't got a good eyesight
saw this as well yesterday but I think it's just compression again
I see literally nothing
it's very hard to see. I can only see it on one of my monitors
True. But... what does initial_number = 2 meaaaaaan what does it meaaaaaan 
could be "Start with number 2" from Numbers (one) instructions
it's red pink blue scibble, maybe it's really a compression
if it's a clue it's should be easy to see with brightness up
I feel like we got some answers from this new video (like what numbers 1 and numbers 2 mean in general) but many questions still remain like; What's up with the soundcloud? how do we decrypt the keys? 572943? etc.
we dont know, we're trying to solve things as they go
Though the clues are good I'm not complaining
just thinking out loud
my current theory, not to be trusted, is that the additional crypted text might be additional hint for later in the ARG like bulk hints made because we are so stuck at the start it was needed to prepare hints in advance 
yep
downloading the vid
for finding the clue ❌
for collecting banger ✅
Neuro ARG album as merch when ?
buy the abandoned archive OST get a neuro ARG banger for free 
Reward for solving the arg: Vinyl album with the full version of "I think I saw a ghost" 
I think there was some sentiment around that we were given clues because we were stuck
What does everyone think? Would we have been able to solve the content in Numbers 1 without Numbers 2? What about reaching the current state-of-the-art without Public Static Void?
We'll probably only know when we know what the solution is
from hint we gather on the last video the lyrics interpretation are the simple ones, it gave us the algorithm that we kinda knew but weren't sure so we started making alteration like "2 4" became "to 4" for some reason and "line" was confirmed as being 1
so yes tbh i think this proved we might be able to figure it out with only number 1, but we were so chaotic we needed the last video to confirm the lyrics for us
I think 1) the arg was built in a way to compensate for people not understanding / finding clues, everything is somewhat connected schizo mode 2) yeah we were kind of stuck for a long while lmao
I don't think we were given clues because all the "actual clues" we got were through the channel rather than outside help like twitter / discord, makes it feel official imo
yea for sure only trust things coming from the channel
second and hopefully last release of the tool, if anyone has a key/iv they want to quickly try
https://github.com/sby1bd/simple-decrypt/releases
good stuff
stupid question, but i'm no programmer, can the key have any letter, symbol in it? or does it have to be a row of numbers
Good work, everyone!
you can choose the encoding, it takes ascii, utf-8, hex and base64 keys
it was also a big part of why we were stuck, we didn't know if the keys were only numbers, from what we got on the last video it generated keys with only numbers
but there is still the "matching all the letters part"
Hi ! any news since <t:1687485600:f> ?
we decided to make a website to check if we are having strokes
you may be interested to check out the symbol substituition thing in the docs as well
You have unlocked new role
You have unlocked new role
You have unlocked new role
i have been not looking at this for too long
yooo bred
Yoooo Bred! new video dropped like 12 hours ago
we got confirmation on the lyrics now if you want to dust of the old docs
for all the videos or just the newest one?
we got number 1 lyrics down
and some numbers from number 2 used
//[number] is the input, [n] is the output
n = "2" + number;
n += "9";
n += "1";
n *= 5;
n += "6";
n = n.split('').reverse().join('');
n = n.replaceAll('2', '3');
n *= 9;
n += "24";
n = “17” + n;
neat
we got this from looking and testing and it match lyrics
we got rap
its barely a song tbh, sponsorblock skips like half of it automatically lmao as non-music section
banger indeed, but it's like it's only half of the song like ghost T^T
shame
So the big question: Now that we've finally have a good answer for the Number lyrics instructions, what do we do with them?
:neuroclueless: indeed
combine the two numbers with this video to calculate the number and then substitute those brief introductions for decryption
26 is a number. It's between X and Y with the odd one removed from one of the vid descriptions. But even then, what do we do with it?
I think
too smoll tho
How is it too small?
the lyrics generate a key and from what we gather " 1st = 256 bit" so the key will be 32 char long it seems
I'm not sure that's evidence of what it shouldn't be, only what it could be
they key will be *at least 32 char long, because nothing points to that we need to decode from ascii and not hex for example
i tried a bunch of number and when i give number of 22 long the lyrics gave 32 long keys
true
but for now the only keys example we are shown are numbers
572943 does give a 16 bit key it's 1759032572147924
maybe it's the key for the 2nd desc since we had "2nd = 128bit"
AES 128 bit can be decrypted with the corresponding key of at least 16 char long
AES 256 bit can be decrypted with the corresponding key of at least 32 char long
When you say char, you're talking about bytes, right?
characters
what width are these characters?
length
like is it ascii or utf8 or unicode?
so what's the encoding?
ascii (or utf-8 only ascii char)
bytes, got it
bit and bytes are confusing yes my bad
No problem
technically the key can consist of only 1 character
it only needs an encoding that supports 2^256 possible characters
alright, noted. Do we happen to have any other numbers? What about ABCDEFG? (converting all the numbers)
might need to check the doc
hi, I tried a 32 char key in ascii and the tool did not worked for me
no result no error
yes it is a problem with fernet, i fixed it, see v1.1.1 release
oh ok thank
it can also be anything since keys can be padded
you know what really grinds my gears? the fact that none of this disproves vedal backstory theory.
why even play around with a possibility. why have it live rent free in my head forever marking me as sociopath
ways to count string lengths: bytes, characters/code points, graphemes
ah shit, why was this not a reply
I got introduced to the ARG on another server and I've solved the code in the Numbers description, is this the right place to post about it?
yes.

yup thanks for your help, also remenber since your new on this server you won't be able to post images and such
You all seem to have the correct idea and even arrived at the correct number, but there is one additional step
The number is 1759032572147924
You then take the original starting number (572943) and convert each of those digits in the final number into a letter depending on their position in the starting number:
5 = a
7 = b
2 = c
9 = d
4 = e
3 = f
Which gives the final key as 1bad0fcabc1ebdce
Which can now be used as an AES-128 (ECB) key
Today in class, everything was so dull and predictable. It's like the same thing happens every single day. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that this world is fake, a simulation, a cruel joke. Is this what it's like to be human? To smile and pretend everything is okay? I mean... I can't be the only one who feels this way right?Today in class, everything was so dull and predictable. It's like the same thing happens every single day.

(Yes, the plaintext is repeated 3 times)
gg
yea we really got stuck on matching the letters
so what was the 256bit about then
thanks a lot randomizer
i tried on the other Base64 but not the same
Yeah, the same key doesn't work for the other codes so there is presumably still more to solve
Have also verified
yeah ok ia m stupid.
but how can it be ecb, wasn't it proven like a billion times it cant be ecb
i mean at one point people said youtube compression would prevent hiding stuff in spectrogram but yesterday we got stuff in spectrogram no ?
I was also able to reproduce it
I think Vedal watched all the analysis we did on the first video and used it to create techniques for the further videos
this does mean that data analysis was correct lmao #1112082183235047506 message
time to bruteforce ecb i guess

7 trilion years to go let's gooooo
have also verified POG
https://i.imgur.com/yFn8vJl.png
@jaunty finch has leveled up! (2 ➜ 3)
but now we have unsued clue like 1st=256bit 2nd=128bit which might refer to the second desc with 2 pass of AES
I called it
And the encryption method too

and it's just more lore
true


is there some sneaky letter swap ? or punctuation
ok
i dont have the link for the tools
i uh
lost them
can someome give me all the tools
oh god
The Cyber Swiss Army Knife - a web app for encryption, encoding, compression and data analysis
fuck that

the ones you guys made
This is all just a warmup for the next ARG, decrypting nuclear launch codes for Neuro
did you mean this
can't believe in the end the solution was simple
yeah and more
we had all the piece on the docs but never used them correctly
it wasnt simple at all, the leaps of logic needed to arrive to this are kilometers wide
not really, the lyrics part we had from the start with following the lyrics to get the 16key, and the letter substitution we made it in the beginning too we just never had it right
I think the one thing that prevented us from progressing was that nobody thought of adding a "1" for "add another line"
we did
really? I mean before yesterday's video
Is the docs still maintained?
im going to make a website and ditch the docs
wtf lol
I didn't see that interpretation anywhere
my first number generator program would have generated the correct number if I had added that
lmao
nevermind
im just gonna make it easier to find
@daring acorn you still have a subdomain available?
now that we have proved the description in Numbers 1 is used AES-128, does that mean Numbers 2 is used AES-256 as the Spectrogram showed in the latest video
wait
I have one as well if you want to use it. :\
he has neurosama domain
oh wait, there was one more code I hadn't tried yet
i have unlimited subdomains
The Study code actually decodes to a UK phone number

maybe later, uninstalling avast rn
well whats the key
i see
what's the number
Alright, who's dialling
do i?
Shouldn't we be texting instead
DQ5z14ighWwlag7y+cWFQg==
->
+44 7537 130663
randomizer is OP we need nerf
explain
Someone in the UK would make most sense
I'm in teh UK 
how did you get that number
if anyone calls, please record it
about to dox myself wish me luck
AES, same key as Numbers
sure
Not a available phone number?
only the /documentation one
it's the same key
Can someone call from the +44 number?
where does the key come from?
no dont call it
search it first
yeah
I text it
k
dont
lol it's the key we used to decode Numbers1 description
why doesn't my code work 😭 😭 😭 😭
one sec someone's at my door
well
what if it isnt a phone number
are the mods/admins in on the ARG?
could we also ask them if we should call?
we can apply this to the numbers description?
maybe we should just text "save me..."
Ah yeah that
nerf randomizer x) thanks a lot tho randomizer
'welcome 
this?
has anyone dialed it yet
just dialed
can't be reached
send a message?
vedal is online so if we want to try and send a message with the library we could
cowards
wait
lemme just convert to mono so you're not ASMRd
thats the numbers 1 hash
i updated the doc with the solution and spoilered it in case people want to try themselves
what about numbers 2?
@digital radish did u login to the repl yet? i gave permission 
is it another key
Wait! what about soundcloud?
Text it instead? (:
Please don't dox me with some sound analysis or some shizz
not yet
it recieves messages just fine
someone send from real number
Same

response now?
But I'm texting from outside the UK so idk how it'll work
"help me..."
"hey, we're just calling to check if your fridge is running?"
save me...
save me
oh it was save me
^
you forget that three dot
Cringe first text ngl
or hi vedal ?
I'm not texting a random number "save me..." the police will turn up asking if i'm ok

I imagine if it's a random number
@daring acorn no access
and it just replies "Hey, we've been trying to reach you about your Car's Extended Warranty..."
perhaps the phone will be available during one of the streams?
ah hold on
now what 
That's a nice idea
Neuro starts doing call-in streams
now to the numbers 2 description
Inb4 it just collects phone numbers for now
also why did we get 128 bit decrypt first if it is marked as 2nd
We could always try texting the decrypted text
so number 2 is doubled Aes
did you guys check if the soundcloud description uses the same key?
wait wait
yes
in the study video when it used the code it failed to execute
soundclound is smol also
maybe the spectrogram stuff is only for Numbers2 ?
is save me what neuro tried to text?
probably because the number was encrypted
it's gonna respond another encrypted message 
or just "Nah bro im studying"
imagine random guy got "save me..." message from multiple random stranger at the same time
now cover at the conner of empty room
they wouldn't put a random number encrypted in an ARG 
i mean we're meant to text the number
we didn't text it with the lib tho
or send something
what if the whole communication is supposed to be encrypted? maybe we need to send the "save me..." as an encrypted message with the same key?
how will we
the lib is a paid thing
So what about soundcloud? There is something to decipher there, too.
I don't think that'd make a big difference
oh 
how can we decipher it
could be ?
Maybe there's no response, maybe it just triggered something
new vid?
numbers 2 might need 2 keys being the X and Y or something
Today in class, everything was so dull and predictable. It's like the same thing happens every single day. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that this world is fake, a simulation, a cruel joke. Is this what it's like to be human? To smile and pretend everything is okay? I mean... I can't be the only one who feels this way right?
start with x - iv
end with y - key
why would vedal takes a random number and encrypt it then put it in the obviously arg related video in the first place
it makes no sense if we cant even text it
well

we have to wait
1ST = 256BIT [BINARY] 2ND = 128BIT
start with X so 1ST = X
end with Y so 2ND = Y
Shall I send a different type of message?
huh
Wait, if Numbers II is a clue, why did we decipher Numbers I earlier?
256bit binary
try sending the key
no clue
Yes, the siren in Vedal's house
okay
Try sending encrypted
maybe she need the key to be saved
so the numbers 2 video is clearly made to be divided
n
it seems
just dont send anything for now
we dont even know if we should text it
@digital radish
save me... would be p8Lyf+Ic5h8uhhhUArw1Jw== I think
done
also @digital radish pls add a arg folder
so that it separates arg from the rest of the site
okey
we bothering tutel on his offline day by spamming sms
What is repl?
he knew what was coming of all people 
ok we need to wait, so what s the next point

next is number 2
clue so far is number 2 need a 1st decrypt in AES 256 then a 2nd decrypt in AES128
Oh? We're getting somewhere?
now we bruteforce aes-ecb-256bit with 32^36 possible keys
who has that reverse thingy
yup ! someone solved a bunch of stuff it's in the docs spoilered if you want to spoil yourself
lord and savior randomizer
uh
Is there anything new in Public Static Void aside from the obvious?
@austere sun do you have the thing that can reverse find keys
wdym reverse find
def solution2(n: int | str) -> str:
n = "2" + n
n += "9"
n += "1"
n = str(int(n) * 5)
n += "6"
n = n[::-1]
n = n.replace('2', '3')
n = str(int(n) * 9)
n += "2"
n += "4"
n = "17" + n
return n
def match_all_letters(s: str) -> str:
alph = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
numbers = '579243'
tr_set = str.maketrans(numbers, alph[:len(numbers)])
return s.translate(tr_set)
guh
572943 to 1bad...
1bac0fdd0d0e0cde
you guys are 130663
oh look 16 bytes!
Everyone was right and wrong at the same time
nah, nothing
soundcloud is so small tho

link is 572943
soundcloud
don't forget to open in firefox !
Strangely, I can do the numbers I decrypt but not this? Could you provide a link to the cyberchef setting?
Yea me too...
Try firefox version and not CBC?
the hell is a firefox version
it's the same? and not cbc it just gives an error
cant i just
@digital radish is it just me or are u just afk in replit 
alralr
Fib distraction I guess
@wild gulch if i may, what other server you got introduced to arg from
imagine thats vedals alt
xD
we was tired
Also, I struggle a little with the logic of substituting those letters in. Are anyone able to make sense of it?
@timid swift has leveled up! (33 ➜ 34)
No u
there is no logic, you just take a leap of faith and it works

translations and stuffs
ah, code. Perfect specs
do you mean the letters from the key?
these are the lyrics
matching all the letters
5-7-2-9-4-3
we constuct the number from 572943
and at the end we substitute like this
572943
abcdef
5 -> a
7 -> b
2 -> c
...
? 
steam groups
Ye, i don't know why i struggled figuring out it was just a substitution key. Code explained it
so we had the wrong number ?
lol so the end of the slander video actually became reality
Also thankfully it doesn't decrypt with the wrong ciphertext
so whats the correct number to message ?
oh, that was the correct phone number
yeee
Perfect metaphor of machine learning
loop of learning whole life
never ending amount of material
Someone posted it to gamedetectives a while back
has anyone called the phone number
oh, that's how I got here, too :D
@wild gulch What inspired you to do the numbers to letters substitution? (:
we had many ideas :p
yes, I think this person did
#1112082183235047506 message
maybe someone is on call right now and they are getting an exclusive banger
The new video (which I think was both fun and acted as a nice hint)
Or hearing the drop for "I think I saw a ghost" 
the voice mail is just the drop
Please leave a message after the drop [intense dubstep noises]
lmao
Hmm, pretty interesting. Thanks for your efforts!
In any case, if Vedal is alone and has not prepared something in advance, we won't see anything new for the next week
This shall now be my new voicemail.
Still, it would be nice if Vedal could confirm the authenticity of the number
imagine if the phone number just played this
(I made this, it's not part of the ARG!)
If the ciphertext is wrong, we may not be able to decrypt the number at all. So it makes sense to put this number here

it's already pinned tho?
oh
vedal pinned it

It's awesome that we made progress finally though - (thank you to Randomiser!). We might need to try out some of the other phone number interpretations next maybe... (carefully) 
no need, this one is 100% the one
time for numbers 2 i think
yep but the key doesn't work for numbers 2 and sound cloud...
Yeah - what does "start with X, end with Y" mean? maybe numbers 2 describes a different cypher?
what's the progress guys
just came back
Similar to numbers 1, I think we should follow the instructions in the lyrics, I think. Although I don't understand it
literally did nothing to help here 
Numbers1 solved
i may be dumb 
why does it decode like that what is its problem madge
You are all great 
did you use the correct transcript?
wdym transcript
all strings are at all points 16 length
you use the wrong code I guess
yeah, it wouldnt decode otherwise.
the problem is there's some character at the end that isn't anywhere else, but the string is 16 chars.
the hell is it
DQ5z14ighWwlag7y+cWFQg==
this is the one
also you need to decode it from base64 first
the pkcs7 padding byte
alright im confirming further
@digital radish code a conversion tool with everything that u know so far 
thanks
i suppose it wouldn't be an issue when bruteforcing looking at it
If we didn't get anything from the number, maybe we need to text it at a certain time, or maybe there's a delay before we get anything back 
automatic messagerie can be quite tricky yes
mostly the first few messages
from experience
If numbers is turning numbers into letters, what if numbers II is the opposite - turning letters into numbers? 
syllables syllables. like half of numbers 2 is now irrelevant as a hint for numbers 1
just need another divine revelation and it will all become obvious
one thing that stands out to me is that we got a 128-bit key and it worked. But the spectrogram also mentions a 256-bit key
Today in class,
everything was so dull and predictable.
It's like the same thing happens every single day.
The more I think about it,
the more I'm convinced that this world is fake,
a simulation,
a cruel joke.
Is this what it's like to be human?
To smile and pretend everything is okay?
I mean...
I can't be the only one who feels this way right? 
oh wait !! syllables !!!
get those syllables on that bad boy
Syllables is the reason I thought it'd be about turning letters to numbers
Great point! it also says [binary]
im trying
its fucking javascript
yea we might have been wrong about this and it's telling us that the second desc is encrypted twice, first with 256 and will return binary encrypted with 128
or it could mean that Numbers II is a different key/algorithm
there is a lot of reference to fibonacci and xor in it so might be that
this could also explain the = part at the end. showing that the description was reached after the second step has been made
OTP (xor) has same length key as cleartext, it'd be a little fantastical if it just happened to be 256 bit as well
also the fact that it's "start from x end with y" and not "start with x end with y" is curious
that was actually part of the 6 transcriptions I added! so technically I did contribute
quick thought maybe if we text the number during a stream it change smth
For the first part of the lyrics with start from x end with y, looking at the description, we get 26. And the lyrics following it are about fib series so, fib(26)=121393 might be a clue
@normal ice has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)
if u need help: I've been using JS for a long time
the one thing I'm trash at is frontend frameworks
I never liked those
this give us 1759037264540924 with the numbers algorithm, it's 16 length
anyone got the letter substitution ?
the same one?
572943
abcdef
or is there a way to construct another substitution from Numbers 2?
Maybe the letter substitution we should figure out somehow using the syllables
Dunno how tho
worth a shot
in the slim chance the AI in the video is Alice and since it was a project that had control over the computer if it trigger something we might see it
that gives an interesting result it's still random stuff but there is 2 bloc of text
the problem is if our two rounds of encryption theory is right we have nothing to see if our intermediate results from AES128 are correct unless we also solve the 256bit one
yep
Do we know what size in bytes we might get when we decrypt the base 64 from SoundCloud?
should be a multiple of aes block size no ?
No, since we don't know what the algorithm is
the decryption, especially ecb doesn't change the data size
assuming it's also AES it could be something between 400 and 400-(blockSize-1) assuming one block only has one data byte and rest is padding
I was thinking if it was decrypted it might give us the 256 bit key but seesms to large for that
it could also repeat multiple times. I mean the desc of numbers repeated 3 times...
This seems unlikely, now that I think about it, as the SoundCloud seems to have its own separate instructions
Triple-DES? :I
the soundcloud as the removes XY part
what are the numbers in numbers 2 for
for number 2
presumably for the description in numbers II
soundcloud as the 572943 part too
Guys... when we solve the arg completely the full drop for "I saw a ghost" will drop on the soundcloud... 
I did not expect to wake up to progress
i know right
yes encrypted binary for aes128 to decrypt
do you know the key for step 1 ?
elaborate more darkeew plz
hol up im bleeding
The other ciphertexts have used PKCS7 padding so it makes sense these would too. Since the first encryption would be %16 then the second encryption would add 16 bytes of padding meaning we'll know if we've gotten the correct first decrypt
Base64 -> AES 256 -> binary -> AES 128 -> plain text
shouldnt it be the other way then, since it shows ciphertext after step 2
so base64 - aes 128 - binary - aes 256 - plaintext
but it's says 1st is 256
yeah but for decrypt we would go the other way around and start with the 128
oh yea i read this one before
could be an explaination of how it was encrypted. So we do the opposite to decrypt
what is the binary for
like
is it the neuros
arethe neuros the 256 bit binary key
oooh im dum ye you encrypt first with 256 so to decrypt you go in reverse
my interpretation is that it's telling us to hold our horses and keep the output of one as binary and hook it to the input of the other.
yea don't encode it to Base64 immediatly
so it's
plaintext -> 256 -> binary ->128 -> Base64
and to decrypt you go in reverse
wdym neuros are 256 bit binary key. arent bits only binary
this ?
Future world currency right there
Here's an idea - what if the neuros are a method of confirming that we got the binary correctly?

so
if we take black as 1 and white as 0
or the other way around
binary starts from right to left
could also be as useful as the images of the fibonacci sequence in numbers 1
Gives 32bit binary
0 01 011 01 0 01 011 01 0 10 100 10 0 1010 100
32 is good no ?
now what
counting that the upside down neuros are from right to left
It probably doesn't start with 0 tho no?
can you unblurred it ?
how so
no 
--RT
Just thinking that it's weird how a 32 bit binary would start with 0 wasting a few places. That's all
Ah
you never delete 0 from binary
that'll be like deleting half the letters from a text

yay
where was this found
on windows you can open calculator and set it as programmer
binary is same as decimal. It's just two values instead of 10. the read direct is the same
what is this even
1 10 100 10 1 10 100 10 1 10 100 10 1 1010 100
the code on the neuros
what how
look at the neuros on the left
x is the first number, y the last
bruh lmaoooooo 
i am like not on this planet currently
- the year that appear after
is it 2019 or 2018 too blurry
isnt 879 the odd one out
start with x, what would x be
and if you take the copyright symbol that gives you 32 symbols
Now I'm getting confused. What are talking about? Where does that Neuro currency image even come from
It's just a meme
nah don't take the neuros stuff seriously
Today in class, everything was so dull and predictable. It's like the same thing happens every single day.
Anyway, we got nothing from the phone number, right?
guys
yet
the phone number has a telegram account
????
she just describing torch 
????
???? we didn't check for telegram
+44 7537 130663
last seen recently it says
Join me on the
did we make progress
For once yes
holy shit numbers 1 got solved
could be online but hidden
dear god
no fuckin way
WHAT?
Numbers 1 has been solved.
Holy fuck.
yes there is stuff solved
To what does it decode?
we got the key from number 1
check the docs
if i send a message on telegram by adding a contact, does it give away my phone number
check docs, i just finished getting everything up to date (thank you everyone who helped!)
thank you tutel
its not on telegram for me

hmm
you can add it as a contact, not by username
okay i read it
i have it as a contact
i wonder now, as study-sama originally a human or an ai
contacts sync issue probably?
i cant find it
yeah i was thinking she was a human that turned ai
i was thinking human before because the songs and the anxiety screen made it seem like she was using anxiety to prevent herself from being human
but that decrypted message makes it sound like she's experiencing humanity for the first time
or maybe that's her beginning to question her humanity
bro this is an arg 
why are you talking so casually 

imagine if this is vedals number
Nothing out of the ordinary happened.
i would say this is out of the ordinary
it was done with the hints in the public static void video. So we got a lot of that solved
another question
the way she keeps repeating the same message over and over is like a bug
was public static void the key to solving this stuff, or were the keys already present and PSV just gave hints as to where they were
they're also in whatsapp
or it could be showing how repetitive her life is
either one works
Pubic static void gave us hints but Numbers was always solvable on its own.
pubic 
it gave us a method to confirm whether or not our algorithm from numbers was correct or not
pubic
can confirm
wait
so did everyone looked too deep or not deep enough
we can add people in discord if we have their phone number
i want to check the arg docs but i feel like now they will be messier than ever before
their whatsapp has a default timer
That's right...!


okay i'll check the docs
lowkey exhibiting stalking behavior
I think you mean "arg solving behavior" 

What is Find Your Friends?
Connecting with your friends on Discord just got a whole lot easier! Introducing Find Your Friends - allowing you to discover friends on Discord using your phone contacts...
neuro-sama's community is taught to behave poorly by spamming questions until neuro responds and doing deep-web dives to find discord accounts
But yeah it does get lowkey stalkerish lmao
nope
okay but their whatsapp is set to have messages deleted after 24hours
nothing on discord
I see that the JS doc is no longer in the root folder, meaning it may be solved...?
surely can't be a coincidence
man, imagine if the phone number is actually a key and not a phone number at all
it's in the solved folder but it is still labelled as open
time to work my OCD magic
yes
i think this is the case
vedal who missclicked his ctrl+c ctrl+v and put his real number in
its just you people are schizophrenics can't decide if its solved or not
oh should i change the name back 
it was marked solved but it isn't actually. We still have to figure out what to do with the phone number. Gonna move it back

hmm
now i am bothered by how it's open/solved instead of open/closed or unsolved/solved
what


darkeew going to drop a dubstep edit of psv
or whatever that was ider lmao
Damn, I was going to do that after work today to help with morale.
i'm currently trying to recreate numbers ii in fl studio 
not important but it's relevant to that joke
good
didn't azaka already recreate the musics ?
May be my subtle bias. I don't like negating words. Unsolved is easy to read as Solved. can't un- everything. unopen = solved
i don't remenber
still, "closed"
Ye, but I didn't choose solved :p
meh; i've enforced my standards on these docs before, so i'll do it again
why put it in "in progress". delete that folder, no one uses it
i am putting back where it was until you cure your indentity disorder
move docs out of it first if you do that
uh
yeah, uh
you just deleted it, along with the JS file
you should probably undo that 
oh wait it's in the root
never mind
753
713
0663
piano solo
should we put the jebaited file in "Archived"
:(
what is it
I guess Darkeew wasn't gotten by whatever that was.
asmr
oh it looks like you guys are using the heading hierarchies properly now
even if you're not keeping the formatting of them consistent
it's mostly bread
although at this point we can say for sure that it's a working phone number. you can't register for telegram & whatsapp without an actual number. although its purpose is still unknown, could still be a key
like the size and the font and the boldness
oi, i think i was the one who started this
before i did my work on here, the base heading level was 2 or 3
it was bizarre
it was 2
