  1. So, i hear that you wanted to be a cryptographer, but dont know how to become one, eh?
  2.  
  3. Fear not, you scanned the QR code and got here, marking your first step to be a great cryptographer!
  4.  
  5. Greetings, i'm Lui, and i'm here to guide you through this Tutorial ARG puzzle. Let's get started shall we?
  6.  
  7. Okay, here's an encrypted text:
  8.  
  9. <some secret encrypted text>
  10.  
  11. "B-but Lui sensei! We are still new to this we dont even know which decrypter to use!"
  12.  
  13. Don't worry! If you see these encrypted messages, there are a few basic steps to solve them:
  14.  
  15. 1. How many different characters does it have?
  16. 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 )
  17. If it have only number 1 to 9 with letter A to F, then it should be hexadecimals or MD5/SHA hash,
  18. 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!
  19.  
  20. 2. Are there special symbols?
  21. Usually encrypted messages with one or two "=" at the end are base64-encrypted, while those with "+" "/" and "=" are mostly aes, des etc.
  22. It should be ciphers you need to search online in order to decrypt it if it looks like a scrambled egg with different symbols..
  23.  
  24. 3. Are there any clue that hint you which specific decryptor/program to use?
  25. Well, it's a puzzle game. Nothing can move on without hints and clues :p
  26.  
  27. Overwhelmed? Well, you will get used to it and know what you should do if you practice and play more.
  28.  
  29. Here's one for you to practice :)
  30. <Hex codes to next image>
