    you fail to mention HOW they tell you to shift 4. Claudius was the 4th emperor of Rome, thus he is the 4th caser after Augustus. hence, the 4th shift of caesers.

    Anyone else look at the old painting of a man with gray hair that cicada posted and noticed the shadow figure standing in the far right corner when you zoom in? Is there any way to clear that up and get a better look at it?

    I remember this catching serious buzz when I was 12 years old and it was solved pretty quickly. Good times, I long for the days when someone or some group smart enough pops around and finally cracks the 3rd puzzle (definitely wouldn't be me lol) . If it's even solvable, and if it is, will it just lead to another puzzle? Who knows, but I love these kinds of things.

In a few words, it's a competition where participants are asked to solve different types of problems of cryptography, reverse engineering, OSINT, forensics, pwn and much more. And usually you can win something like a job offer, money, subscriptions, products, etc.

    Hey did anyone ever check the audio files that were officially released by them? It could contain the rest of what was needed to get the remaining of the 72 pages of their “manifesto”

    • @NoxPopuli
      @NoxPopuli  6 років тому +2

      The two audio files were both important in their step of the puzzle. I've covered the use of the first one in the 2013 videos on Xor, and I'll cover what was hidden in the other when I get to 2014.

      Honestly, for a long time the Cicada puzzles and other things like it are how I learned. I didn't really have a background in this before starting to try online cryptography puzzles, and used them to direct what to learn next. For my first year at the Cicada puzzles, I learned a lot of the steps as I went along. Challenging yourself can be an amazing way to learn quickly.

      Hi! Using the numbers from the Mayan símbols followed by the numbers from the page title (10,2,14,7,19,6,18,12,7,8,17,0,19,7,14,18,14,19,13,0,1,2,0,) you get the key to decipher the text. First, you put the numbers below each letter of the text (when the numbers end repeat) and then it goes like this: the letter goes back the number of times below it. For example, if a U was above a 10, the U would turn into a K.

    If you have any trouble with stereograms (literally because you're interested in hidden easter eggs or something):
    Tutorials, books, and Golden Grahm ceareal boxes will tell you to "stare at it moving the object back/forth trying to look into the distance" or some other bullshit like that.... It's simple... just cross your eyes.
    Stereograms are pretty easy to make too.... use this useless skill to hide your porn or something....
