- [13:13:17] <monocle> Hey.
- [13:13:58] <monocle> Helooo?
- [13:15:32] *** Mode #breaking32865 +v Radeusgd by monocle
- [13:15:38] <Radeusgd> hi
- [13:15:47] <monocle> Hullo.
- [13:16:01] <monocle> I just posted on the subreddit the IRC details.
- [13:16:23] <Radeusgd> ok
- [13:16:45] <monocle> Any ideas on a01 codes?
- [13:17:19] <Radeusgd> well, I got one, but it might be too simple to work
- [13:17:23] <Radeusgd> the idea is following
- [13:17:40] <Radeusgd> the code consists of 2 rows - one in range 0-9 and second in 1-3
- [13:17:55] <Radeusgd> all messages contained letters, so I assume this one does so too
- [13:18:03] <monocle> i see,
- [13:18:07] <Radeusgd> but there's ~26 letters in alphabet
- [13:18:12] <Radeusgd> and 3*9 is 27
- [13:18:26] <monocle> special characters i guess?
- [13:18:36] <Radeusgd> so my idea is that maybe if we multiply numbers in each column we might get numbers in range 0-27 which is close to letters
- [13:18:38] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [13:18:56] <monocle> hmm i see.
- [13:18:58] <Radeusgd> the problem is, it might be shifted, like A = 5, B=6 etc.
- [13:19:06] <monocle> We should focus on the a01 ping.
- [13:19:21] <Radeusgd> I'll write a Python script to test all combinations after I finish some task I got to do
- [13:19:24] <monocle> I have a feeling that it's a01 for "i am alive"
- [13:19:27] <monocle> ok.
- [13:19:36] <Radeusgd> yeah, I think it could be that
- [13:19:51] <Radeusgd> we can check all of them, given we have a script
- [13:20:01] <monocle> 8017019843
- [13:20:01] <monocle> 1323322111
- [13:20:06] <monocle> wait
- [13:20:14] <monocle> 80170198431323322111
- [13:20:39] <monocle> crap line carriages suck in this client.
- [13:20:44] <Radeusgd> hah xD
- [13:20:47] <Radeusgd> but I got it
- [13:20:49] <Radeusgd> hmm
- [13:20:54] <Radeusgd> oh man
- [13:20:56] <Radeusgd> we got it!!!
- [13:21:02] <monocle> Hmm?
- [13:21:02] <Radeusgd> see - 0 means space
- [13:21:09] <monocle> yea
- [13:21:12] <Radeusgd> x xx xxxxx
- [13:21:15] <monocle> I is 8
- [13:21:15] <Radeusgd> I am alive
- [13:21:18] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [13:21:19] <Radeusgd> and a is 1
- [13:21:21] <Radeusgd> it matches
- [13:21:25] <Radeusgd> just it's some strange cipher
- [13:21:30] <Radeusgd> but we got enough info to decode it
- [13:21:32] <monocle> What's the other half though?
- [13:21:36] <monocle> yea we do.
- [13:21:37] <Radeusgd> just gotta figure out that
- [13:21:56] <Radeusgd> I suppose it might be for multiplication as i said
- [13:22:02] <Radeusgd> so 8 is I and 16 is A
- [13:22:14] --> GeoffreyY ([email protected]) has joined #breaking32865
- [13:22:32] <monocle> so..
- [13:22:46] <monocle> 8017019843
- [13:22:46] <monocle> 1323322111
- [13:22:48] <Radeusgd> I think multiplication might be the key, however letters seem not to beshifted, but rather hmm maybe somethign like XOR cipher but with letters, not sure
- [13:22:52] <monocle> i am alive
- [13:23:04] <Radeusgd> it reads i am alive for sure
- [13:23:16] <Radeusgd> just we need to figure out the key, and decrypt other messages
- [13:23:18] <monocle> maybe the second row indicates the position in the table?
- [13:23:28] <Radeusgd> but what table?
- [13:23:40] <monocle> the space always read as 0.3
- [13:23:40] <monocle> IDK
- [13:23:51] <Radeusgd> yeah, and A is always 8.2
- [13:23:54] <monocle> A is 1.2
- [13:24:10] <Radeusgd> sorry, yes
- [13:24:12] <Radeusgd> I mean I
- [13:24:21] <Radeusgd> is 8.1
- [13:24:34] <monocle> So it's using a table.
- [13:24:54] <Radeusgd> but if second is a coordinate, how do we know al the rows?
- [13:25:12] <Radeusgd> I'd go for multiplicaation, because you need to represent 26(27 - 0 is space) letters
- [13:25:21] <Radeusgd> but it might not be the solution
- [13:25:22] <monocle> Yeah.
- [13:25:23] <Radeusgd> hmm
- [13:25:24] <monocle> I guess
- [13:25:41] <monocle> notepad
- [13:25:50] <Radeusgd> ?
- [13:25:52] <monocle> wrong text box.
- [13:26:15] <Radeusgd> I see xD
- [13:26:57] <monocle> wait lemme pull another a01 post
- [13:27:05] <Radeusgd> ok
- [13:27:08] <monocle> and do a compare with the ping.
- [13:27:18] <Radeusgd> I'll try out the script in ~10 mins, gotta finish some document
- [13:27:30] <Radeusgd> yeah, we can do it this way indeed
- [13:27:37] <Radeusgd> wait, got something
- [13:27:39] <monocle> ok
- [13:27:49] <monocle> The subreddit name is a01
- [13:27:51] <monocle> 328657982131321212
- [13:27:52] <Radeusgd> maybe this 2 numbers are to form one 2 digit number
- [13:28:17] <Radeusgd> like A = 82, space = 03 (or 30) and A is 28 etc.
- [13:28:59] <monocle> I see.
- [13:30:03] <monocle> I don't have enough letters. >.<
- [13:30:52] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [13:31:18] <Radeusgd> I'll look into it, I was once playing with NSA Crypto Challenge app and it involved a taks nearly the same as A01 is
- [13:32:39] <monocle> nice.
- [13:35:56] <monocle> is there some famous arrangement of letters or something? That's 10x3?
- [13:36:29] <Radeusgd> well, I don't know anything about such a thing, so I suppose no
- [13:36:48] <Radeusgd> but it could work, because it's the only logical way to convert 2 numbers in such ranges into letters
- [13:38:17] <monocle> Oh craaap
- [13:38:20] <monocle> KB
- [13:38:24] <monocle> KB: EN US
- [13:38:39] <monocle> EN US keyboard?
- [13:38:51] <monocle> it's a freaking 10x3 table
- [13:38:56] <Radeusgd> well
- [13:39:03] <Radeusgd> you're completely right!!
- [13:39:17] <monocle> i is top row below 8
- [13:39:31] <monocle> a is second row below 1
- [13:39:44] <monocle> 03 is supposed to be / then
- [13:39:46] <Radeusgd> you're right
- [13:40:03] <Radeusgd> I was doing it other way - A is the 8th element backwards from L counting from 0 xD
- [13:40:18] <Radeusgd> not sure which is more right, but still, it's probably the answer
- [13:40:25] <Radeusgd> gotta check it out
- [13:40:43] <monocle> oh man.
- [13:41:31] <GeoffreyY> PING [A01] reads "i am alire"
- [13:41:37] <Radeusgd> alire?
- [13:41:38] <monocle> lol
- [13:41:41] <monocle> idk.
- [13:41:52] <Radeusgd> maybe you need to count columns in reverse?
- [13:41:52] <GeoffreyY> they messed up I assume
- [13:41:57] <Radeusgd> because V would match then
- [13:42:15] <monocle> hmm. lets see.
- [13:42:34] <monocle> I'm curently solving random a01
- [13:43:02] <Radeusgd> ok
- [13:43:29] <GeoffreyY> 49212-11322 [A01] reads "range nine nine nine to one fire seren"
- [13:43:37] <Radeusgd> wow
- [13:43:41] <Radeusgd> we're onto something
- [13:43:42] <GeoffreyY> all "v"s turned into "r"s lol
- [13:43:47] <Radeusgd> huh
- [13:43:51] <monocle> zerotso ovganic vandom
- [13:43:55] <monocle> i know.
- [13:44:06] <monocle> that's random a01
- [13:44:42] <Radeusgd> you're right that v is messed with r
- [13:44:44] <Radeusgd> but it works
- [13:44:51] <monocle> i know.
- [13:45:10] <monocle> unless he's talking with a different accent.
- [13:45:15] <Radeusgd> xD
- [13:45:31] <Radeusgd> should I write a decoding program?
- [13:45:59] <monocle> IDK.
- [13:46:07] <GeoffreyY> correction: Random [A01] reads "zerotwo organic random"
- [13:46:09] <monocle> Let's race who gets to write one first?
- [13:46:12] <Radeusgd> xD
- [13:46:13] <GeoffreyY> they missed a space
- [13:46:15] <monocle> ohh.
- [13:46:16] <Radeusgd> ok
- [13:46:22] <monocle> hahha
- [13:47:04] <monocle> You should go ahead. I wanna decode them by hand. Hahaha
- [13:47:04] <GeoffreyY> monocle you should post this on reddit now
- [13:47:14] <Radeusgd> ok
- [13:47:14] <monocle> yea.
- [13:47:25] <GeoffreyY> afterall it's you who figured this out :)
- [13:47:31] <monocle> Nah.
- [13:47:35] <monocle> XD
- [13:47:57] <monocle> Lemme decode every string there first.
- [13:48:49] <monocle> the subreddit's title reads as "exingulis"
- [13:48:53] <Radeusgd> wow
- [13:49:17] <monocle> Google doesn't return on anything
- [13:49:33] <GeoffreyY> wait, what's 01?
- [13:49:43] <monocle> What 01?
- [13:49:57] <GeoffreyY> in Entropy [A01]
- [13:50:06] <GeoffreyY> there's a 01
- [13:50:07] <Radeusgd> I'm currently writing the script
- [13:50:53] <monocle> ok. The subreddit's title reads 0497335-1112131 REF:328657982
- [13:51:47] <GeoffreyY> Entropy [A01] reads "zeroone deci.hering requires entropy", where the fullstop is 01
- [13:51:58] <monocle> Decoded: PROJECT REF:EXINGULIS
- [13:52:19] <GeoffreyY> nvm 01 is p
- [13:52:23] <monocle> haha
- [13:55:36] <Radeusgd> got a program
- [13:55:37] <Radeusgd> tab = [

- [13:56:58] <Radeusgd> http://pastebin.com/jus2PZrN
- [13:57:00] <monocle> the fire mod is decoded to secre(t)? the T doesn't have a second character to it.
- [13:57:06] <monocle> *first
- [13:57:20] <Radeusgd> I'll work on it in a moment, gotta go to a shop
- [13:57:32] <monocle> ok
- [13:58:22] <monocle> Geez, the encryption in really simple. Were just thinking diffirently.
- [14:00:43] <monocle> TimeA01 reads as local/eavth/time
- [14:01:00] <monocle> "local/eavth/time" so it's just the time. Albeit inaccurately. XD
- [14:04:43] --> SN4T14 ([email protected]) has joined #breaking32865
- [14:04:53] <SN4T14> 'Sup
- [14:04:57] <GeoffreyY> hi
- [14:05:15] <monocle> Hello.
- [14:05:16] <GeoffreyY> we just figured out [A01]
- [14:05:20] <monocle> Yay!
- [14:05:33] <SN4T14> Yeah, just noticed, decoding everything noq
- [14:05:35] <SN4T14> now*
- [14:05:38] <monocle> The time post is actually the current time.
- [14:05:41] <monocle> local/eavth/time
- [14:06:35] <GeoffreyY> PING [A03][024] should also read "i am alive" (hopefully with no errors)
- [14:07:41] <SN4T14> Hmm, weird, the user "233435-21311" decodes correctly if R and V are correct, but PING [A01] requires R and V to be reversed...
- [14:07:54] <monocle> Yea
- [14:08:00] <monocle> They messed up for some reason.
- [14:08:05] <monocle> Or they have a strange accent.
- [14:08:37] <GeoffreyY> v and r are switched vandomly it seems
- [14:09:07] <monocle> i know vight?
- [14:09:31] <Radeusgd> yeah, that's stvange
- [14:09:51] <SN4T14> veally veally veivd
- [14:09:58] <monocle> Second Mod translates to AXON
- [14:09:59] <SN4T14> reivd*
- [14:10:32] <Radeusgd> let's put all messages into one place
- [14:10:35] <monocle> Does anybody have a copy of the sidebar with A01 codes?
- [14:10:36] <Radeusgd> I can do it again
- [14:10:38] <monocle> Ok ok/
- [14:10:47] <Radeusgd> good question, I don't have unfortunately
- [14:10:53] <monocle> nice job with the script btw.
- [14:10:57] <SN4T14> Looks like 49212-11322 decodes to almost-correct instructions for A02
- [14:11:11] <monocle> yea it it does.
- [14:11:12] <GeoffreyY> DNU ART ENC 02

- [14:11:24] <monocle> nice.

- [14:11:55] <SN4T14> channel/id/zero
- [14:12:06] <Radeusgd> xD
- [14:12:11] <monocle> channel/id/zevo/zevo/one/eight
- [14:12:35] <SN4T14> 018 was mentioned in some of the MD5s
- [14:12:36] <monocle> It's been halved to fit the sidebar i guess. XD
- [14:12:58] <SN4T14> Also, monocle, are you sure you're not the guy and you're just dropping hints because no one got the A01 encryption? :p
- [14:13:10] <monocle> wat?
- [14:13:20] <Radeusgd> no xD
- [14:13:29] <Radeusgd> I don't think that's the case
- [14:13:38] <monocle> XD
- [14:14:07] <monocle> I can code. But i'm not that much of a genius when it comes to cryptography. XD
- [14:14:49] <Radeusgd> nah, you're pretty good
- [14:15:02] <SN4T14> How do we know you're not just saying that to hide the fact that I'm correct? :O
- [14:15:15] <monocle> IDK. how can I prove myself?
- [14:16:43] <SN4T14> ...That's just your problem. :p
- [14:17:15] <Radeusgd> I'm just finishing the overview of messages from A01
- [14:17:44] <monocle> I can't prove that. I can't think of a way.
- [14:17:58] <monocle> Oh well. >.<
- [14:18:19] <SN4T14> By the way, the Time[A01][011] time is in around 36 hours
- [14:18:36] <SN4T14> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=63534748444+seconds+since+january+1+1
- [14:19:14] <Radeusgd> whaat
- [14:19:22] <Radeusgd> I thought it's in September
- [14:19:34] <monocle> I was the current time then.
- [14:19:35] <Radeusgd> but you seem to be right
- [14:20:03] <Radeusgd> wow
- [14:20:09] <SN4T14> Yeah, the website that said September was way off
- [14:20:11] <monocle> *it
- [14:20:16] <monocle> lol.
- [14:20:16] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [14:20:53] <SN4T14> Just felt weird to schedule something months in advance, because it's been pretty fast-paced, so I Wolfram Alpha'd it and got that
- [14:21:16] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [14:21:17] <Radeusgd> also
- [14:21:29] <SN4T14> I got something!
- [14:21:37] <Radeusgd> the Transition has accurate explanation of A02
- [14:21:45] <Radeusgd> so A03 could be explained in A02 too
- [14:22:20] <monocle> the the 20 post.
- [14:22:45] <SN4T14> God damn it
- [14:22:49] <SN4T14> https://i.imgur.com/jVpgshJ.png
- [14:22:55] <SN4T14> 3rd row of boxes

- [14:23:20] <Radeusgd> where?

- [14:23:25] <SN4T14> 3rd row, all the boxes
- [14:23:34] <monocle> Ohh
- [14:23:40] <monocle> you have to tolt your monitor
- [14:23:42] <monocle> *tilt
- [14:23:55] <monocle> it's really faint.
- [14:23:57] <SN4T14> Yeah, can up the contrast, too
- [14:24:06] <SN4T14> Sad that it's nothing new
- [14:24:10] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [14:24:13] <monocle> What does it say?
- [14:24:14] <Radeusgd> but that means
- [14:24:20] <Radeusgd> we may got clues for A03
- [14:24:46] <Radeusgd> loi;cdeper
- [14:24:46] <Radeusgd> huh??
- [14:25:15] <SN4T14> Hidden thing says "one/seven/six"
- [14:25:33] <Radeusgd> I made the summary
- [14:25:34] <Radeusgd> http://www.reddit.com/r/Solving_A858/comments/24jbmk/summary_of_r/
- [14:25:36] <monocle> the white text dosnt match up.
- [14:25:53] <monocle> The first half only has 10 characters.
- [14:25:58] <monocle> the seond has 11.
- [14:25:59] <Radeusgd> well yeah
- [14:26:00] <Radeusgd> but
- [14:26:00] <monocle> *second
- [14:26:06] <Radeusgd> the message 49212...

- [14:26:44] <monocle> I wonder what's the two boxes for.
- [14:26:51] <SN4T14> Radeusgd: add the thing hidden in KEY
- [14:26:55] <SN4T14> The one I found. :p
- [14:27:00] <Radeusgd> ok
- [14:27:18] <Radeusgd> describe it, cos I still didnt find it xD
- [14:27:24] <monocle> ohh. look closely on the left most of the white text/
- [14:27:28] <Radeusgd> kay
- [14:27:34] <monocle> tthere's a hidden nine.
- [14:27:59] <SN4T14> look/deeper
- [14:28:11] <Radeusgd> I cannot see
- [14:28:13] <Radeusgd> :/
- [14:28:16] <SN4T14> Basically just hinting at the thing I found
- [14:28:20] <monocle> yea
- [14:28:25] <SN4T14> Radeusgd: There's a really faint 9 at the start
- [14:28:39] <Radeusgd> gimme a sec in an editor
- [14:28:41] <GeoffreyY> http://i.imgur.com/TPIqh6A.png
- [14:28:44] <monocle> it's 999 instead of just 99
- [14:29:17] <Radeusgd> huhuhuhuhu
- [14:29:19] <Radeusgd> gimme a sec
- [14:29:24] <Radeusgd> found sth
- [14:29:28] <monocle> your title says history of /r/
- [14:29:47] <monocle> wait
- [14:29:48] <Radeusgd> yeah, forgot to add :( cannot change
- [14:29:51] <Radeusgd> need to ask mods
- [14:29:56] <Radeusgd> look at this
- [14:29:56] <Radeusgd> https://imgur.com/0vfKylx
- [14:30:01] <Radeusgd> there's even more numbers there
- [14:30:01] <SN4T14> Can't ask the mods either
- [14:30:10] <SN4T14> No one, not even admins, can change post titles. ;)
- [14:30:24] <monocle> XP
- [14:30:32] <SN4T14> Yeah, Radeusgd, those are the ones I was talking about. :p
- [14:30:41] <monocle> test
- [14:30:50] <SN4T14> Testies
- [14:30:54] <Radeusgd> I think mods can
- [14:31:00] <SN4T14> Nope
- [14:31:16] <Radeusgd> are you sure? I saw something about this
- [14:31:17] <monocle> my router just glitched. I can't open the link.
- [14:31:22] <monocle> back.
- [14:31:28] <Radeusgd> in one of the rows, there are more letters
- [14:31:40] <SN4T14> Yeah, Radeusgd, that's what I was talking about before. :p
- [14:31:44] <SN4T14> one/seven/six
- [14:32:26] <monocle> wait. has anyone decoded the latest a02 post?
- [14:32:43] <Radeusgd> which one
- [14:32:45] <Radeusgd> I think I did
- [14:33:14] <SN4T14> Yeah
- [14:33:17] <Radeusgd> Yes, I did it up to 27
- [14:33:20] <Radeusgd> brb, dinner
- [14:34:52] --> Fanarito ([email protected]) has joined #breaking32865
- [14:35:04] <GeoffreyY> hi
- [14:35:10] <Fanarito> Hi
- [14:35:12] <monocle> The last two lines intrigues me.
- [14:35:20] <SN4T14> God damn it, people right next to me joining me! D:
- [14:35:28] <monocle> A026: cannot access a03 nei
- [14:35:28] <monocle> A027: 026/ the key before the last is the start/ work your way backwards
- [14:35:28] <monocle> A026: cannot access a03 nei
- [14:35:28] <monocle> A027: 026/ the key before the last is the start/ work your way backwards
- [14:35:28] <monocle> A026: cannot access a03 nei
- [14:35:31] <monocle> Wtf
- [14:35:38] <monocle> the client bugged.
- [14:35:46] <GeoffreyY> lol
- [14:35:49] <SN4T14> Radeusgd: your post is missing A22-25
- [14:36:03] <SN4T14> And the duplicate IDs
- [14:36:26] <monocle> 22-25 are A03s.
- [14:36:30] <SN4T14> Oh right
- [14:37:43] <GeoffreyY> what is that [019] pic
- [14:37:45] <monocle> I'm confused about the a027 post.
- [14:37:56] <monocle> noidea.
- [14:38:03] <monocle> It's the eiffel tower.
- [14:38:09] <monocle> Nope.
- [14:38:11] <monocle> wrong pic.
- [14:38:35] <monocle> It's a building in canada.
- [14:38:39] <SN4T14> [19] is that place in the town everyone thought of
- [14:38:40] <monocle> supposedly.
- [14:38:51] <monocle> what town?
- [14:39:57] <SN4T14> Toronto!
- [14:40:03] <SN4T14> That's a building in Toronto
- [14:40:43] <monocle> Someone figured it out a while ago.
- [14:40:57] <SN4T14> Yeah, just didn't remember the name of it. :p
- [14:41:39] <monocle> Lemme scan the old posts.
- [14:42:12] <monocle> Toronto Flatiron Building
- [14:42:20] <SN4T14> That's the one
- [14:42:25] <SN4T14> Someone was talking about going there today
- [14:42:39] <monocle> Yea.
- [14:43:15] <monocle> What about the eiffel tower though? Do we have anyone on paris? XD
- [14:43:36] <GeoffreyY> I guess it has to do with setting the time zone of the Time[A01][011]?
- [14:44:30] <SN4T14> Timezone says "earth time" so I'm going to guess UTC
- [14:44:45] <monocle> yea.
- [14:45:09] <Radeusgd> I'm back
- [14:45:27] <SN4T14> Welcome back!
- [14:45:48] <Radeusgd> well, 22-25 are missing, because there are none such posts in A02, they're in A03
- [14:46:07] <SN4T14> Yeah
- [14:46:21] <GeoffreyY> we should start cracking [A03]
- [14:46:26] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [14:46:42] <Radeusgd> also, if someone would be to go to ET in paris, what would that give us?
- [14:47:13] <monocle> IDK
- [14:48:29] <monocle> It's clear that the last few posts are instructions to get to the next encryption.
- [14:48:34] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [14:48:48] <SN4T14> [008] still hasn't been explained, though...
- [14:48:48] <GeoffreyY> assume PING [A03][024] reads "I am alive"
- [14:49:12] <Radeusgd> btw. monocle, how do you know the name of project if it only has the first part?
- [14:49:31] <monocle> wat?
- [14:49:46] <monocle> it's the same as the subreddit link
- [14:49:59] <monocle> but without the second half.
- [14:50:26] <SN4T14> Also, GeoffreyY, wouldn't that be [A03][022]?
- [14:51:10] <GeoffreyY> [024] says "PING" on the title...
- [14:51:22] <SN4T14> Ah
- [14:51:35] <Radeusgd> got it (the name)
- [14:52:08] <monocle> here http://imgur.com/ztsgUy0.png
- [14:52:09] <GeoffreyY> I'm confused how both "ceb0" and "b7c2" translates to "a"
- [14:52:51] <SN4T14> If [024] is "i am alive" then it's two letters too long
- [14:52:58] <monocle> maybe it's using random numbers again?
- [14:53:01] <GeoffreyY> spaces?
- [14:53:05] <SN4T14> Oh right
- [14:53:34] <SN4T14> But it might be that it does something with the previous (or next, as seen by [027]) letter
- [14:54:12] <SN4T14> My first guess would just be a simple bitwise XOR of the last one with the current one
- [14:54:38] <Radeusgd> well length of 024 seems to match ping
- [14:55:01] <SN4T14> Yeah, I'd try xoring the first and 2nd one, then the 2nd and 3rd one, and so on
- [14:55:06] <monocle> yea. that's what I observed a while ago.
- [14:55:10] <Radeusgd> but don't they differ in length?
- [14:55:21] <monocle> it says the second of the last.
- [14:55:49] <monocle> I mean the key before the last.
- [14:56:11] <Radeusgd> ah yeah
- [14:56:11] <SN4T14> What if L2F means last to front/first?
- [14:56:33] <SN4T14> That would explain 026
- [14:56:38] <Radeusgd> what program do you use for xoring?
- [14:56:40] <SN4T14> 027*
- [14:56:46] <monocle> hmm.
- [14:56:50] <SN4T14> http://www.jdejong.net/tools/bitwisecalculator.php
- [14:57:43] <monocle> last to front does sound like it fits the context.
- [14:57:50] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [14:57:55] <SN4T14> I think I got it, first one decodes to /
- [14:58:02] <Radeusgd> ?
- [14:58:04] <Radeusgd> to what
- [14:59:21] <monocle> what?
- [14:59:32] <SN4T14> To /
- [14:59:39] <SN4T14> Literally just a slash, then a | (pipe)
- [14:59:48] <SN4T14> And then an unprintable character, but now I have an F
- [14:59:56] <Radeusgd> huh
- [14:59:58] <SN4T14> Hang on, let me finish decoding and see if it's anything...
- [15:00:07] <Radeusgd> ok
- [15:00:29] <SN4T14> Seems to just be lucky garbage
- [15:00:40] <Radeusgd> :/
- [15:01:02] <SN4T14> Damn
- [15:01:11] <monocle> The first two are easy, but this is wracking my brains.
- [15:02:29] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [15:03:09] <monocle> has anyone looked uopn the profile post?
- [15:03:16] <SN4T14> Profile post?
- [15:03:16] <Radeusgd> it's really strange
- [15:04:07] <Radeusgd> well, xyz is clearly some coordinate, by what are C LGr G??
- [15:04:08] <monocle> Someone theorized that it might be some space coordinates.
- [15:04:18] <Radeusgd> LGr like lagrange?
- [15:04:27] <Radeusgd> by space you mean math or cosmos?
- [15:04:29] <monocle> lol idk.
- [15:04:36] <Radeusgd> wait!
- [15:04:39] <monocle> I thought of space.
- [15:04:40] <Radeusgd> theses are messages
- [15:05:03] <Radeusgd> rirgo
- [15:05:19] <Radeusgd> local/myg
- [15:05:19] <monocle> Rirgo?
- [15:05:27] <Radeusgd> that's translated from Profile
- [15:05:27] <monocle> it's either virgo or rirgo.
- [15:05:30] <-- Fanarito ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
- [15:05:32] <Radeusgd> virgo
- [15:05:34] <Radeusgd> of course!
- [15:05:40] <Radeusgd> that makes much sense, you know - space
- [15:05:50] <monocle> Uhh.
- [15:06:16] <SN4T14> Brb, changing classrooms
- [15:06:22] <monocle> ok
- [15:06:32] <SN4T14> Could someone log all the messages while I'm away? :p
- [15:07:08] <monocle> sure.
- [15:07:10] <Radeusgd> Remember the time when you left and I can pastebin them
- [15:07:20] <SN4T14> Mkay
- [15:07:23] <SN4T14> What's the time now?
- [15:07:27] <monocle> G reads: local myg
- [15:07:32] <monocle> 907
- [15:07:40] <monocle> 9.07 pm
- [15:07:45] <monocle> oh lol this is my time.
- [15:07:46] <SN4T14> Then everything from now. :p
- [15:07:49] <monocle> yea
- [15:08:21] <Radeusgd> for me it's 15:06
- [15:08:29] <Radeusgd> ok
- [15:08:40] <Radeusgd> also, yeah, I wrote in summary it's local/myg
- [15:08:50] <monocle> so what's local myg?
- [15:08:54] <Radeusgd> no idea
- [15:09:10] <-- SN4T14 ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
- [15:09:45] <monocle> So here's the summary. It might be space coordinates.
- [15:09:56] <monocle> With virgo as C
- [15:10:07] <monocle> WTF is a Sa anyway?
- [15:10:08] <Radeusgd> added
- [15:10:21] <Radeusgd> well, also when we set something in space
- [15:10:32] <Radeusgd> we don't specify cartesian system but spherical coords
- [15:10:51] <Radeusgd> so XYZ makes no sense without the point of reference
- [15:11:10] <Radeusgd> hmm, maybe LGr means L2 Lagrangian point?
- [15:11:28] <monocle> Not sure.
- [15:11:46] <Radeusgd> hmm https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/s%C3%A4 ?
- [15:12:49] <monocle> So it's finnish for I?
- [15:12:51] <Radeusgd> maybe the reverse means to reverse endianness?
- [15:12:55] <Radeusgd> for you I think
- [15:13:38] <monocle> I'm not sure.
- [15:14:30] <monocle> You should read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_Supercluster
- [15:15:06] <Radeusgd> wowowo
- [15:15:12] <Radeusgd> C (cluster) virgo
- [15:15:17] <Radeusgd> LGr - local group - 02
- [15:15:20] <Radeusgd> G (galaxy?)
- [15:15:24] <Radeusgd> local/myg
- [15:15:31] <monocle> local milky way?
- [15:15:33] <Radeusgd> milky way galaxy, my galaxy?
- [15:16:01] <monocle> So it's referring to something in this galaxy.
- [15:16:06] <Radeusgd> probably
- [15:16:13] <Radeusgd> but still the coordinate format is wrong
- [15:16:20] <Radeusgd> what XYZ means in space?
- [15:16:52] <monocle> I guess they're refering to an aboslute point in space? But..
- [15:17:03] <Radeusgd> https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090604044511AAHGxqI
- [15:17:09] <monocle> XYZ can't exist in space!
- [15:17:16] <Radeusgd> space engineers use reference of (0,0,0) as the sun
- [15:17:19] <Radeusgd> (sol)
- [15:17:37] <monocle> i see.
- [15:17:47] <Radeusgd> it may be that system
- [15:17:55] <monocle> So the reference might be the center of the super cluster or the galaxy.
- [15:17:59] <Radeusgd> http://www.iers.org/IERS/EN/DataProducts/ICRF/ICRF/icrf.html?__nnn=true
- [15:18:08] <Radeusgd> well, possible
- [15:18:14] <Radeusgd> or sun, it would be easier to crunch
- [15:18:22] <Radeusgd> but you may be right as well
- [15:18:32] <monocle> but what's the point?
- [15:19:03] <Radeusgd> but what point?
- [15:20:11] <monocle> of pointing to something in sapce.
- [15:20:19] <Radeusgd> hah, I don't know
- [15:20:21] <monocle> *pointing something
- [15:20:38] <Radeusgd> it doesn't look like precise enough to point something on earth
- [15:20:47] <Radeusgd> OR maybe it's some asteroid???!
- [15:21:15] <monocle> but it would be inaccurate in a matter of minutes!
- [15:21:22] <monocle> or hours.
- [15:21:37] <Radeusgd> true
- [15:21:42] <Radeusgd> hmm
- [15:21:51] <Radeusgd> well, this one is a hard riddle
- [15:22:21] <monocle> so looking back. What's the purpose of this subreddit anyway? >.<
- [15:22:28] <Radeusgd> hah, I got no idea
- [15:22:34] <Radeusgd> I thought they send some data
- [15:22:37] <monocle> I wanna say Aliens so much, XDD
- [15:22:49] <Radeusgd> but it seems every code refers to method for solving another...
- [15:22:53] <Radeusgd> hah me too
- [15:23:27] <monocle> A02 has some weird stuff in it though.
- [15:23:31] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [15:23:41] <Radeusgd> especially the images
- [15:23:45] <monocle> It's like it's being used for comms.
- [15:23:59] <Radeusgd> and things like modify behavior, observe 3.17 days
- [15:24:06] <monocle> The post did refer to those places.
- [15:24:28] <monocle> look at 21 though.
- [15:24:32] <monocle> 305 1175 no change. will romeo shortly
- [15:24:37] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [15:24:40] <monocle> oh wait
- [15:24:51] <Radeusgd> romeo reminds me of military code like A=Alpha, C=Charlie etc.
- [15:24:53] <monocle> it's 035
- [15:24:53] <Radeusgd> yes?
- [15:25:01] <monocle> the other is 305.
- [15:25:29] <monocle> yeah. Romeo is phonetic letters or something.
- [15:26:25] <monocle> NATO phonetic alphabet to be precise.
- [15:26:45] <Radeusgd> nice find
- [15:26:59] <Radeusgd> do we have any other similar words?
- [15:27:11] <monocle> similar words?
- [15:27:31] <Radeusgd> like romeo or bravo in the decrypted text
- [15:27:37] <Radeusgd> well I don't see such :/
- [15:27:39] <monocle> Googling romeo gives me Shakespear's romeo.
- [15:27:45] <monocle> Nope there's nothing.
- [15:27:45] <Radeusgd> xD
- [15:29:21] <monocle> military procedure words says it's copy or roger
- [15:29:22] <monocle> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedure_word
- [15:29:38] <Radeusgd> Acknowledgement of a message is expressed with roger message, often shortened to roger; "roger" was the World War II-era word for R (modern 'romeo'), which stood for "received".
- [15:29:47] <Radeusgd> found exavtly that the same moment ;)
- [15:29:55] <monocle> haha
- [15:30:18] <Radeusgd> so
- [15:30:35] <Radeusgd> maybe it says that this will be the end of stream shortly??
- [15:30:43] <monocle> IDK.
- [15:30:50] <monocle> So far it's still continuing.
- [15:31:01] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [15:31:11] <Radeusgd> maybe the last msg will be in ~36 hours?
- [15:31:32] <monocle> maybe.
- [15:32:40] <monocle> Man. Still can't find any pattern in A03 aside from the same number of clusters is the same as the number of characters in the message. >.<
- [15:32:50] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [15:32:56] <Radeusgd> my conclusion
- [15:33:04] <Radeusgd> is that this cipher has a key
- [15:33:18] <Radeusgd> having a key, the same letter (e.g. A) isn't the same in the message
- [15:33:33] <monocle> yea.
- [15:33:40] <Radeusgd> I'd try XORing it with the 026 message, but backwards?
- [15:33:41] <monocle> So like reversible MD5?
- [15:33:53] <Radeusgd> well, like normal symmetric cipher
- [15:34:03] <monocle> oh.
- [15:34:06] <Radeusgd> for example XOR: xoring message with key
- [15:35:48] <monocle> maybe the dormedas guy could decipher this.
- [15:36:31] <Radeusgd> who's that?
- [15:36:47] <monocle> The guy who figured out the A02
- [15:36:53] <Radeusgd> I see
- [15:37:00] <Radeusgd> we need to call him xD
- [15:37:10] <monocle> Haha
- [15:37:54] <Radeusgd> http://www.reddit.com/r/Solving_A858/comments/24hmxo/r32865_second_encryption_figured_out/ch7hu3d ?
- [15:38:27] <Radeusgd> it might be CRC16
- [15:38:37] <monocle> Hmm.
- [15:39:27] <monocle> or fletcher?
- [15:40:01] <Radeusgd> what's that?
- [15:40:21] <monocle> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher%27s_checksum
- [15:41:33] <Radeusgd> makes sense, hence 2 inst may mean it's simple?
- [15:42:05] <monocle> that might be it.
- [15:42:25] <Radeusgd> yeah
- [15:42:35] <Radeusgd> but these posts have no verification
- [15:42:45] <Radeusgd> and CRC or fletcher are more likely to have collisions
- [15:42:52] <monocle> You're right.
- [15:42:56] <Radeusgd> so it might be hard to reverse
