  19. Here is the public key used to encrypt it. Note that it has a low bit modulus and is therefore breakable:
  20.  
  21. $VAR1 = bless( {
  22. 'e' => 65537,
  23. 'n' => '*******************234687598764987896***************86789697850342421310*****************1759008957255433116412000179***********',
  24. 'Version' => '1.99',
  25. 'Identity' => ''
  26. }, 'Crypt::RSA::Key::Public' );
  27.  
  28.  
  29. The encrypted message is a number. Break the decryption key, then come back to this same URL and enter the
  30. decrypted message to continue. Each person who has come this far has received a unique message encrypted
  31. with a unique key. You are not to collaborate. Sharing your message or key will result in not receiving
  32. the next step.
  33.  
  34. There is a second chance to get your own RSA message and key. Follow the "Numbers dot TK" hint to find it.
  35.  
  36. There are many fake messages out there. Only messages signed with public key ID 7A35090F are valid.
  37.  
  38. Good luck.

  63. This song is your own path
  64. Another stop on the road toward enlightenment
  65. Follow it, and share not
  66.  
  67. Let the Chorus be your guide to the depths :
  68.  
  69. Let the Priests of the Raven of dawn,
  70. no longer in deadly black, with hoarse note
  71. curse the sons of joy. Nor his accepted
  72. brethren, whom, tyrant, he calls free lay the
  73. bound or build the roof. Nor pale religious
  74. letchery call that virginity, that wishes
  75. but acts not.
  76.  
  77. For every thing that lives is Holy.
  78.  
  79. Good luck.
