- So, i hear that you wanted to be a cryptographer, but dont know how to become one, eh?
- Fear not, you scanned the QR code and got here, marking your first step to be a great cryptographer!
- Greetings, i'm Lui, and i'm here to guide you through this Tutorial ARG puzzle. Let's get started shall we?
- Okay, here's an encrypted text:
- <some secret encrypted text>
- "B-but Lui sensei! We are still new to this we dont even know which decrypter to use!"
- Don't worry! If you see these encrypted messages, there are a few basic steps to solve them:
- 1. How many different characters does it have?
- If it consists of 2 different characters only, then it could be binaries or baconisn cipher...yum ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon%27s_cipher )
- If it have only number 1 to 9 with letter A to F, then it should be hexadecimals or MD5/SHA hash,
- If it is a mess that it looks like every numbers and letters are there... there's a possibility that it is rotation cipher or base64!
- 2. Are there special symbols?
- Usually encrypted messages with one or two "=" at the end are base64-encrypted, while those with "+" "/" and "=" are mostly aes, des etc.
- It should be ciphers you need to search online in order to decrypt it if it looks like a scrambled egg with different symbols..
- 3. Are there any clue that hint you which specific decryptor/program to use?
- Well, it's a puzzle game. Nothing can move on without hints and clues :p
- Overwhelmed? Well, you will get used to it and know what you should do if you practice and play more.
- Here's one for you to practice :)
