[oak vigil]

what is this about

An arg?

[tall lava]

didn't you read the text first

[oak vigil]

why do u have to do this, (the roman numerals)

[tall lava]

i said it's not an ARG

[oak vigil]

oh so its a puzzle

[tall lava]

yes

[oak vigil]

how am i suppose to decrypt that

[tall lava]

like you always say,

THINK

[oak vigil]

Book, book, sign, book ... book, ... Book the curtains and rein the book Book the curtains and rein the book籀眜书簻簀明书 籱簰书籯簰簀簻

, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books. Book sash ... book, book,

Books, books ... Curtains, curtains ...

[tall lava]

K, you already went down the wrong path

auto-translate to english doesn't happen until you've reach translating the other two languages

this is an example path i sent to Shimmering in DMs

but for this puzzle, it's way longer

[oak vigil]

rot8000 doesnt do anythin

[tall lava]

finally you going somewhere

kinda

[tall lava]

example of doing encryption; doing decryption would be vice versa

[oak vigil]

am i the first person here

[tall lava]

to go by guess is probably difficult so imma just add the path to the original post and you continue to solve for it

[tall lava]

yes

not sure if i also get Shimmering and Angela to join is gonna be possible

but you can get Llyon if you like

also, there's no point making a Google Slides file for this cuz it's just a puzzle

[oak vigil]

INIT: 54700
SET: 3, 9, 6, 0, 8
It was a beautiful night on Wednesday on June 12 2024. Here I was, decrypting some ciphertext to be the first to solve a puzzle. So, I decided to...

Llyoncub!

[tall lava]

he's not in the thread

you gotta inv him here

[oak vigil]

@dense vault

[tall lava]

or DM him the link

[tall lava]

or that

i know with Angela and Shimmering, they don't like getting pinged so imma just DM them

[oak vigil]

if anyon wants to know how i got inspired to make this, tenon's &#-W-S texts

[oak vigil]

ok

[lean wren]

So this is a multi step cipher?

[tall lava]

yes

with lingual translations

[tall lava]

kinda like the example i showed to you in DMs

[lean wren]

Interesting

[tall lava]

but much longer

the first thing that Anothershadowznow did when he opened the PDF file is to auto-translate to English

auto-translating to English was where he went wrong

the path i used was (where ciphertext type is A and lingual translation is B) from A6 to B3

[dense vault]

Who pinged me

[tall lava]

Anothershadowznow

btw, i don't think anyone will be able to solve this puzzle till they figure how to get from B3 to A6 then solve the multi-step smoothly

the biggest (i think) block obstacle is to go from B3 to A6

like Anothershadowz approached was correct on doing translate

but translate to English is where he approached a dead-end

to correct you bro, you weren't supposed to translate to English

you translate to English when you approach B1

[tall lava]

Hint 1: language used in PDF file (B3)
Hint 2: a ROT cipher (A6)
Hint 3: the first approach Anothershadowz did in solving

[tall lava]

↑↑↑ see here to see who pinged you ↑↑↑

@dense vault

[wet basin]

@tall lava

Someone mention that
sounds unsolvable. google translate is not exactly reversible

[tall lava]

Which is why I asked Shimmering if I should just give the answer of the B3-A6 obstacle, knowing of some error I might have made with the puzzle

[oak vigil]

also is this type of thing gettin popular here

the puzzle things

theres already 4

[tall lava]

But he says just let them guess, so I just let it go that with the text in the PDF being Japanese, using Google Translate to translate to an Asian language (hint 4) will give the answer in ROT cipher

If none can still give an answer for 4 hints, Imma just ss the answer for Obstacle B3-A6 and the rest should be pretty easy

[oak vigil]

whatever that is

[tall lava]

Is that supposed to be the final outcome or just the answer to Obstacle B3-A6?

[oak vigil]

thats the first decryption of the encrypted text]

[tall lava]

Okay... I guess no one's gonna get it, might as well show how I did Obstacle B3-A6

Also the answer is, in the encryption process for Obstacle B3-A6, after encrypting the code in A5, I encrypted the code in ROT8000 (A6) then translated to Japanese (B3).

[oak vigil]

rephrase it

[tall lava]

There, big giveaway, should be easy now

[tall lava]

You'll see in the picture I send later

[oak vigil]

this aint going anywhere

who loves the 4 puzzles in mystery-discussion including this

[tall lava]

Maybe it's just me bad at making puzzles

[oak vigil]

what will u recomend

• A short poem by Unknown that I read back in 2010 | creator: zenergyoztorm
• The Cipher Exercises | creator: shadowz
• ciphergames | creator: glottalstop symbol guy
• Advanced Cipher Examples | creator: Asleigh

[tall lava]

Feels like this was a bad idea after all

[oak vigil]

translation is reversible, right?

[tall lava]

Well Tenon says it isn't

At least for Obstacle B3-A6, I think

[oak vigil]

ig ss it

[tall lava]

At least for A1-B2 and A2-A1, those would be reversible

Otw, I am gonna just have to overlay a new version of the same puzzle on top of the old one using just ciphertext, no lingual translation

[oak vigil]

then give us a hint on the next cipher

dont tell me its hard like:

AES_Encrypt({'option':'UTF8','string':'__________________shadowzanother'},{'option':'UTF8','string':'shadowzananother'},'CBC','Raw','Raw',{'option':'Hex','string':''})
AES_Encrypt({'option':'UTF8','string':'anothershadowzanothershadowzanot'},{'option':'UTF8','string':'anshadowzanother'},'CBC','Raw','Raw',{'option':'Hex','string':''})
Triple_DES_Encrypt({'option':'UTF8','string':'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx'},{'option':'UTF8','string':'abcdefgh'},'CBC','Raw','Raw')
Triple_DES_Encrypt({'option':'UTF8','string':'2264524101965474'},{'option':'UTF8','string':'44865412'},'CBC','Raw','Raw')
XSalsa20({'option':'UTF8','string':'anothershadowzanothershadowzanot'},{'option':'UTF8','string':'shadowzanothershadowzano'},0,'20','Raw','Raw')
XOR({'option':'UTF8','string':'anothershadowz'},'Standard',false)
Triple_DES_Encrypt({'option':'UTF8','string':'anothershadowz0123456789'},{'option':'UTF8','string':'abubabub'},'CBC','Raw','Raw')
AES_Encrypt({'option':'UTF8','string':'xxxanothershadowzxxxanothershado'},{'option':'UTF8','string':'location31locati'},'CBC','Raw','Raw',{'option':'Hex','string':''})
XOR({'option':'UTF8','string':'bushhidthefactsanothershadowzwillexposehim'},'Standard',false)
To_Base64('A-Za-z0-9+/=')\```

[tall lava]

The answer I send to you are in different languages

For Obstacle B3-A6

B3 is Japanese; A6 is traditional Chinese

would this be any better for you @oak vigil ?

if not, than i might just go with creating a second version to overlay the old one

[oak vigil]

alr im workin on it

whatever that

[tall lava]

where the version we using now, i made with Google Translate, dcode.fr/en, and cryptii.com

[tall lava]

wrong move, hint: base code

Path A6-A5 was from ROT8000 to a base code

[oak vigil]

i did convert it from hex b16

[tall lava]

For converting the code in A6 to A5, you'll need to use cryptii

[oak vigil]

the full hex chain:

i used cryptii

[tall lava]

basically i designed this so the solver, given the hint of 3 lingual translations and 6 cipher types, would go to solve the code by deciphering one code which gives the next code and continue in choosing whether to trslate the code or decipher it

in decryption process, it would be:

1) B3 = Japanese
2) A6 = ROT8000
3) A5
4) A4
5) A3
6) A2
7) A1
8) B2
9) B1
original message```

[oak vigil]

what about the hex chain

[tall lava]

This was supposed to be your answer to A5, now use that to solve A4

[oak vigil]

wdym

[tall lava]

A5 and A4 uses hex chains or by character in the format of hexadecimal grouped by bytes according to cryptii.com

where i mentioned about two codes using custom alphabets, those are A1 and A2

this should be really easy now right?

[oak vigil]

that one?

what about it

[tall lava]

this one

is the answer to A5

now use it to solve for A4

[oak vigil]

which one is A5 and which one is A4

[tall lava]

A4 you have to solve

[tall lava]

this is A5

m'bad, the other one wasn't it

[oak vigil]

how am i gonna use the "geadr..." to solve a4

[tall lava]

don't you understand all the pings yet

I was saying that the full hex chain you sent me in a text file is the answer to A5

GEEZ Louise

[oak vigil]

...Since 2 raised to the 768th is a number with around 231 decimal digits, this is effectively beyond practical computational limits.

Conclusion

Given the extraordinarily large key space, even with 60,000 high-performance computers, the time required to exhaust the key space through brute force is impractically long, likely exceeding the age of the universe. Therefore, without additional information or weaknesses in the encryption method, brute-force decryption of the given text is infeasible.

this from chatgpt

[tall lava]

well, if not using ChatGPT. it's still possible right?

[oak vigil]

chatgpt estimated that it would take 2^768 years

for 60000 computers attempting to break your encrypted text while all running at once

[tall lava]

cuz to some like Ashleigh say that "ChatGPT has no use and should be banned."

so it seems there's no point in continuing since A4 is unreachable

[oak vigil]

according to the chatgpt response or..?

[tall lava]

or as you say from ChatGPT, it will take 1.5525180923007089351489794884625e+231 years to got from A5 to A4

[oak vigil]

i asked it to calculate for all steps combined together

not just OBS A5-A4

[tall lava]

maybe when i remake the second one, i can continue to use multiple ciphers but only one website for all that

rather than some from dcode, some from cryptii, and some from Google Translate

[oak vigil]

by more narrowing down, chatgpt says that to solve it after solving OBS-B3/A6 will take (10 raised to the 167th) years

much higher than my 10^52 years for the ORCF-X6 cipher

(both assumpstions with 60000 computers all at once)

even when i specify it to "assume that the 60000 computers can guess a trillion every second and guessing from the big bang to the current moment" it still is unreasonably long

[tall lava]

hm, yeah, imma make a overlay soon

not now cuz i am out all day/night

Saturday, i'll make an overlay version then see how it goes

[oak vigil]

do u like the estimates chatgpt (via me) provided?

[tall lava]

as for now, anyone else besides you, llyon, tenon, and Shimmering can try to solve given the information now

[tall lava]

sorta and no

[oak vigil]

why

[tall lava]

like Ashleigh says, the bot is no use

that i can agree to

i sometimes post stuff in another Discord server asking stuff related to tech and ChatGPT's answers are no help at all

[oak vigil]

the only time chatgpt is useful is when u want it to write a story or give arg ideas

the estimates chatgpt provided here are like almost overexaggerated

but rgn's tominecon7z video shows they might not be overexaggerated as they seem

[tall lava]

gtg now, g'bye

[oak vigil]

ya ok

also js this an iq tes5

[tall lava]

Y'asking the Q if this is an IQ test

?

Well I didn't say it was, why you think?

[oak vigil]

also why did shimmering quit

[tall lava]

thread dead

popularity gone

also just made the overlay

if you guys do get the final outcome this time, i can try to get Shimmering to rejoin

[tall lava]

@oak vigil

[oak vigil]

what am i looking at

[oak vigil]

??

[tall lava]

overlay version of the previous one

and should be much easier since there are no lingual translations

[oak vigil]

i got brainf* code that cant be translated?

excuse me but i love to do the t-w-s things tenon does like this:

AGENCY: 32414-192654-2264837
SET: 2, 7, 1, 8, 2
Janice, how much time do we have left?
Oh, it's so funny we're both named Janice, only my surname is Clarkson and yours is Ellen.
Come on, we need to find an exit before we're caught!
We won't. There's not enough time. We'll just surrender.
Fine.```

[tall lava]

Why you posting your Forever Lost stuff here?

Like I don't mind but...

[oak vigil]

Idk i love yapping

It means nothing

Also the brainf* code

[tall lava]

At which part?

[oak vigil]

After rot8000 on the overla

[tall lava]

Imma check out the formula page afterwards but I definitely didn't use Brainf### for the code puzzle

[tall lava]

Like I said, I definitely didn't use Brainf###, but it's some kind of ________f### code

Here's a hint that got nothing to do with the song but a word in the song: https://open.spotify.com/track/4ZJVtATf78hjgRe9Ov8csj?si=itmRUK70Qmy2XraLBOlInw

Apply that word from the song to the F-bomb and that is your key to solving the next part of the puzzle

[oak vigil]

Why did u call it "forever lost stuff"?

[tall lava]

I recognized the name Janice Clarkson

[oak vigil]

where did i reference that, its janice ellen?

[tall lava]

Janice Ellen is a new character I may not be familiar with but Janice Clarkson I am definitely familiar with

I think chapter 1

[oak vigil]

how was jan clarkson referenced?

[tall lava]

By having the same name as first name as Janice Ellen, idk; also why you asking me about the two Janices here?

Why not ping-ask me in your Forever Lost threads?

For Ch.1 or Ch.2

[oak vigil]

actually lets continue the questikn there

[oak vigil]

actually i can use dcode serarch tool

[tall lava]

Smort

[oak vigil]

revive this thread

[tall lava]

so i assume no one's getting a clue what the next cipher i used after ROT8000 in the decryption process

even with the song there, and the clue that comes along with it, no progress

so here's another hint if the one with the song was no help

of all the F### codes out there, i only know 3 of them: 🧠 F###, ⏪ F###, and JSF

like i mentioned before, i didn't use 🧠 F### in the puzzle so that means the next cipher in the decryption process after ROT8000 is either ⏪ F### or JSF

this should be EZ

[tall lava]

k, so far, you got it where you were given the code in question in the PDF file is ROT8000

Converting it gives you the next cipher, ReverseF###

from after reversef### gives you an extremely long string of numbers starting with 19439073940746239...

the next cipher used to determine the next cipher after that has something to do with this emoji

☸️

along with that emoji is another coded hint using Roman A1Z26
A[XIV(xiv)] | B[XLIV(x) | C[LXVIII(xii) | D[LXXXVI(xx)

[oak vigil]

Straddling checkberboard?

[tall lava]

Really, ok, what kinda disk/wheel ciphers do you know of? Use the ones you know and solve to receive the next code for the next cipher

[oak vigil]

I remember using mexican army cipher in foreverlost

But what about the part I had to b64 cuz it translated to unreadable b2 data

[tall lava]

There you go, that the cipher you use to get the next code and guess for what the next cipher is

[tall lava]

Imma check on that, I did use a Base N code but I'm gonna have to check the cheat sheet then give you a hint afterwards regarding the next cipher type

After you decipher this code from the Mexican Army Cipher Wheel 🇲🇽🪖☸️

[oak vigil]

By unreadable b2 data, i mean like "(NUL) (ACK) (NUL) (NUL) (ETX) Bhen&bek!_ënsœn (ACK)..."

[oak vigil]

Me too. I was expecting you to help.```
thats the NJLT decryption result btw

[tall lava]

given V[L(v)]: V is the wheel pos no., L is a number, and v is an A1Z26 number of a letter in the alphabet from A-Z

[oak vigil]

FZE...JLE

[tall lava]

so at wheel pos no.V, the number is 50 with its corresponding letter of E

[tall lava]

get how i am doing it here now?

[oak vigil]

ye, i did decrypt it with the key NJLT

.HTLIEY((d (non-printable-chars) when i decode from b32

[tall lava]

yes, so from this code and the base code you've figured out, solve for the next code and the next cipher to decipher the next code

[oak vigil]

base 32?

[tall lava]

yes

[oak vigil]

pov: i decrypted from b32

[tall lava]

according to the cheat sheet, using B32 to decrypt this code you found should lead you to the next code which looks similar to Navajo but not exactly

[oak vigil]

which doesnt and instead give me weird chars i have to b64 once again to make it readable

Pretty neat puzzle. Can't solve it every time I tried though.
Pretty sure no one can. I asked the other people at the Estacs secret office and they are not able to decipher the code.
I guess, we'll have to rely on 60000 computers to crack the code.
I guess. But millions of years? Impossible, 0% possible.```

[tall lava]

according to the following image, from down to up in decryption progress, this is what you're supposed to get after you use B32 to decipher the code

from bottom to top:
ReverseF### >> Mexican Army Cipher Wheel with wheel pos of 14(N), 44(J), 68(L), 86(T) >> cipher TBD

as shown, cipher TBD is supposed to look something like Navajo but not necessarily

[tall lava]

think again, probably blinkered into a dead end again

[oak vigil]

try checking ur steps

[tall lava]

where i have the area highlighted in gray, i put that into dcode.fr to encrypt using Base 32

same result here

nothing i see wrong

[oak vigil]

compare my text to yours

[tall lava]

looking at this, there's nothing in the cheat sheet that suggest such text was shown when i made the puzzle so might avtually have went somewhere wrong

[oak vigil]

i mean my b32

actually

the b32 decoding for the 1st part is cprrect

The others not correct

[tall lava]

for this, you took the FZE...JLE code and had it translated to B16 which got you that code above

[oak vigil]

".HTLIEY-AC........." (non printablr chars)

[tall lava]

why not try and decrypt the same FZE...JLE code into a string of printable characters?

[oak vigil]

I tried

[tall lava]

it should give you the next code

[oak vigil]

And it didnt work

[tall lava]

and from there determine the next cipher

[oak vigil]

It just showed me HTLIEY-AC then a lot of gibberish and data

Thats why i B16 it in the first place, to make it readable

[tall lava]

hmmm, then i guess just keep searching where you made the mistake

cuz that's not it for me

[oak vigil]

Actually when i get on my computer ill screenshot

[tall lava]

^ i think you already did, just a part of the ss

[oak vigil]

Ill do a full screenshot

Actually try decrypting the code wheel cipher urself then try a B32 decryption, follow the path I took

[tall lava]

ok i think i can see how you got the gibberish thing

after finding the string of numbers from Mexican Army Cipher Wheel (MACW) given the wheel pos., from MACW to B32, the 6 extra equal signs probably got removed

which gave you this

instead of this

cuz even in the encryption process, nothing was deleted

so smth's up

[oak vigil]

did u try decrypting

[tall lava]

yes

[oak vigil]

and did u get the same gibberish data result

[tall lava]

thru encryption, the last 6 = signs are still in the code

but vice versa, they are removed

which explains why you getting

[oak vigil]

try adding the 6 ====== signs

[tall lava]

ah, i also noticed something that's missing

[oak vigil]

what

[tall lava]

after JLE, the remaining characters (idk how they got removed) are QA====

Although in the cheat sheet, the remaining characters after JLE are ======

[oak vigil]

im missing smth else

[tall lava]

imma figure this out tmr

my brain's outta juice

[oak vigil]

Hlo?

[tall lava]

Hi

BZ all day ysdy, will continue to be so 2day

Just for now, assuming you've got the previous code is FZE...JLE======, use B32, to solve for the next code and the cipher to solve the next code

[oak vigil]

the image shows it didnt work

[tall lava]

k, so the unknown bug that is causing a decryption error, leave it

just start from this code in B32 and continue to decipher:

JQRRKJQLQTZXQTZWFBQZYQKJQZQKXFVQTZYXGZQTPXXSOY

what ever that means

[tall lava]

you sure that's your decded answer using the B32 cipher?

cuz the next code determined after deciphering this code with B32 to a string of printable characters is supposed to give you a string of jumbled letters connected by dashes and separated by SPACEs

basically similar to but not exactly Navajo

[oak vigil]

i did decode the navajo

[tall lava]

Isn't exactly but similar to Navajo

After decoding from B32, you were supposed to decode the next given code with another cipher type or two then deciphering again with Navajo

[oak vigil]

reverse + navajo i know

[oak vigil]

i saw what went wrong, and this is why you shouldnt use macw or any other cipher that only accepts letters on a alphanumeric text e.g. base32:

ALL THE DIGITS ARE REMOVED FROM THE TEXT

[oak vigil]

come here

also wdym by "macw"

[oak vigil]

Mexican Army Cipher Wheel

[tall lava]

ah

[oak vigil]

what about the decoded navajo

[tall lava]

since that's the flaw then, should i just reveal the entire answer then?

or continue to let you solve it

[tall lava]

hadn't you figured this out, i would keep tryna give hints or wonder how you got wrong

[oak vigil]

reveal it

[tall lava]

since you were stuck between MACW and B32

I deleted that when you and Tenon figured out that some things translated are irreversible

so i overlayed the new format over the old one

OLD: 6 ciphers and 3 languages
NEW: 8 ciphers and 0 languages

the original code was in Japanese (B3)

the last cipher used in the old format was ROT8000 (A6)

since ROT8000 is basically every basic/special character turned into a Chinese character, i used B3 to do the finishing touch

[tall lava]

saw the reveal?

[oak vigil]

yes

now make a new one ig

[tall lava]

i'll see about that

[oak vigil]

so what now ? ? ? ? ? ?

[tall lava]

This is the deciphered message:
Hello. The near of fear is mere, yet here to spear your ear. Goodbye. (original text)

[oak vigil]

what iz 5w+h

wwwwwh?

oh i remember

hpw am i supposed to make a why what where when how theory?

[tall lava]

just try to guess what the author of the poem is trying to depict and why they might say this

smth like that

[oak vigil]

i guess ...

EZ Cipher Word Puzzles

[oak vigil]

thats not ez at all

thats plain impossible

real impossible

i'm assuming you used hill cipher

it can only work with some matrices

[tall lava]

I am using matrices, but the left and right matrices aren't even matrices at all

They're code words is a particular cipher per matrix

Numbers in left matrices are code words in one cipher while numbers in right matrices are in another cipher

Every 4-letter word you get in each right matrix is a hint to an 8-letter word in the left matrix

There nothing with math in solving, it's just design

[oak vigil]

thats so hard to crack

how about we skip that

or replace its cipher

[tall lava]

Bruh really

[oak vigil]

yes

its so hard to understand

or even grasp

AT ALL

[oak vigil]

so?

[tall lava]

left matrix is a 8-letter word in binary (b2) with one letter being in A1Z26

right matrix is a 4-letter word in hexadecimal (B6)

so in the first example, the left matrix shows line 2 is a1z26

0000 0015 = the letter O

the rest, when inputted into a B2 to text translator, reads MUNTAIN

so the whole left matrix reads MOUNTAIN

the 4-letter word in B6 is supposed to act as a hint to the 8-letter word in B2/A1Z26

as shown, the order you insert the numbers in the right matrix you put into a b6 to text translator

here you get 66 75 6a 69 reads FUJI

Fuij is a mountain in Japan

[tall lava]

as seen in the PDF file, there are 8 pairs of matrices

each pair of matrices has a left matrix where one of the letters is a letter in a1z26

collect all the letters in a1z26 in each left matrix to solve for the bonus word in the last matrices pair (which doesn't have any letters in a1z26)

a 4-letter hint is also provided for the bonus word, hint for bonus word also in B6

[tall lava]

you got a lot to read bro

So this is the puzzle my matrices puzzle is based off of

just for the example

[oak vigil]

that does not even look like that

[tall lava]

Ok I give up

[oak vigil]

????

[tall lava]

There's nothing to solve here

Imma ask ShimmeringStars to lock thread

Or ask bro to send request to help lock this thread

If no one can solve these puzzles, screw it
