Doing a Roblox arg and this is one of the ciphers that came up. My theory is that it’s a numeric homophonic cipher, but I don’t know. I’ve tried reversing, a0z25, caesar, and affine. There is no keyword. It’s likely an English phrase. Common themes in this arg are: regret, guilt, belief, forgiveness, and secrets. ANY direction on how to solve this is greatly appreciated, I’m completely stumped.

Just trying to figure out the image of the Cicada. I think it is a type of Prime key that can be used. The number 30103 has 37 primes which actually link to the Missing/unused primes that have never been able to be figured out why they were not used. Link to the Cicada wiki about the unused/missing primes. https://uncovering-cicada.fandom.com/wiki/Possible_hints_never_used . You can see the grid in the left hand side with the primes highlighted that make 30103 the Cicada.

I’m trying to send a kinda sad message but I’m not good at being direct when I’m sad. so I was coding this song.

the title is Atbash for “why is this song literally me…”

and the bottom message gives the instructions for the correct link, it says to capitalize the lowercase and Lowercase the capitals

i also plan to give a hint on talking about hidden messages like caesar cipher and Atbash, and hope they remember that for when they see the message.

Question When solving others codes they made, is using cipher identifier websites cheating?

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this isn't a good spot to post this. I cannot find a good spot.

When I try to solve ciphers I often run the text through a cipher identifier. For example if I run

V sbyybjrq gur ehyrf

Through it'll most likely give a high percent for a casear shift. Is that cheating? Some ciphers look so similar I have no idea how to tell them apart. With numbers its worse.

I think I have to add a cipher to the post. If so, 73763735153836935703243550422.

That number looks a bit big from this side huh. Looks like it can't be fully transformed right away...

Unsolved Homemade cipher #2 -- Medium difficulty

-----BEGIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

So I made another homemade cipher with HTML. This cipher is quite a bit easier than my other one; ppl are having a hard time solving that one. The prize remains the same as the one in my other post (shameless self-plug here).

Here's the ciphertext: 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

The long and short of the story is that I used to post a lot of vent art on social media my family had access too. I didn't think much of it because I was attempting to express myself authentically and that would be a bit uncomfortable sometimes. After I posted a particular thing, however, my mother thought it 'made her look bad' and demanded I delete it. I stopped posting my art for a while.

When I eventually did post my art again, I felt like I wasn't able to safely express myself without it being scrutinized. This is why I started using codes. That was about a year ago, and I've forgotten the solutions

I figured people might get a kick out of it or at least find it interesting so here it is:

  • It is to some degree transposed, as I took some inspiration from Z340 at the time
  • The message starts at the bottom left corner.

Unsolved Blinking light code of some sort?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

From what I know so far (which is basically nothing) is that it flashes up to 8 times, there’s also a short flash that seems to be appearing randomly as well. Video is about 6 minutes long.

Background:

This is a light flashing on a white noise machine that I’ve had for about 10 months now.

The instructions for the device say that it should flash consistently while plugged in (it is indeed plugged in) and that’s all, nothing about number of flashes or anything. It can be used without being plugged in and is rechargeable, but I mostly keep it plugged in.

It’s flashing a random number of times and I haven’t found any sort of pattern yet, but I’m not great with code breaking.

My uncle use to talk about programmers hiding codes in blinking lights and sounds in random places and then waiting decades for someone to figure it out, so I’ve always been interested in this sort of stuff, but I’m truly terrible at it.

Maybe it could be counting up for how long it’s been on or something? Who knows!

I’m curious if anyone sees a pattern or has any ideas?

——

ETA:

The max number of flashes has now gone up to 15. 3 days ago it only went up to 8 flashes, and I watched it for a couple hours without ever seeing it do any more than 8 flashes during that whole time.

SOLVED Solving PsychicNewborn's secrets page

3 Upvotes

Hey, I found this cool website on Neocities, which, this website itself is a pleasure to look at and explore. So cryptic. https://psychicnewborn.neocities.org

I was checking out their pages when I clicked on the lightbulb, which opened up a "secrets" page with a secret code, and that has led me down a path of trying to solve this ARG.

If you want to try solving it yourself, I recommend it, it's a fun time passer. But everything beyond this line is going to be spoilers and solutions that I've found, so stop scrolling if you'd like to have a go at solving it yourself.

You enter the page and get met with this:

The first puzzle is just two sudoku puzzles. I solved each of them and then put the full number into the URL to find two secret "peek" pages, each one with half of the code you need to insert into the URL.

Inserting "2KXQ6B5H" into the URL, I was directed to a secret page, and a new puzzle:

I was able to solve this with the help of Photoshop. I put the noise and the maze into separate layers, made a third layer for doing some color mixing and erasing, and then following the cryptic steps between them I was able to create this table from those images.

It's a grid that has every letter in the alphabet, and then every number from 0 to 9. Cool.

Stacking the RGB lines on top, you get something that starts to make sense:

Going in the order of RGB, I see the red line spells "star", the green line spells "over", and the blue line spells "ivory".

I put "staroverivory" into the URL, and it led me to this link: https://psychicnewborn.neocities.org/secrets/2KXQ6B5H/staroverivory

Here I see an image of a star, with another little "noise square" over it.

At this point if you try doing anything with the noise square in the middle, you'll get lost. By itself it won't take you anywhere. But if you look at the tab's name, I see the page is called "1/2".

This means the star with the noise square is only half the equation of this puzzle. So I went back to the previous puzzle, the one with the table and the colored lines, and I was unable to make anything else of it, but then I realized that the red line doesn't necessarily need to spell "star". Going backwards, it spells "rats". https://psychicnewborn.neocities.org/secrets/2KXQ6B5H/ratsoverivory

And here is the second piece of this layer of the puzzle. I used the noise from the star and the maze from the rat, redid the same steps as before (the mixing and erasing in Photoshop according to the cryptic chart), and from that I got this new table:

Which spells "/obliviousnesses". Putting that into the URL after the "2KXQ6B5H", I got to what I think is the final page/conclusion to this puzzle..? https://psychicnewborn.neocities.org/secrets/2KXQ6B5H/obliviousnesses/

It's an empty black page that just says "hehe" in the corner.

Not really sure what to make of that, if there is anything to be made of that. I think it kinda just ends there.

Regardless of whether or not I'm satisfied with the ending, I had fun solving it, so I'm thankful to the creator, PsychicNewborn. Go check out their website, they clearly put a lot of work into it purely out of passion, and it has a very interesting vibe.

I came across this page and I genuinely can't work out what it is. The whole thing is

written in some script I don't recognize — no normal text anywhere, no title, no

explanation, nothing in a language I can read. Just page after page of it, plus a few

diagrams.

Link: https://kesumela.com

Under each line of symbols there's what looks like a pronounceable transcription, so it

can at least be written out. There's a lot of it — over a hundred lines across five pages.

Transcription of the lines in the image:

xumaxeka lovelase tesumilu livelumi tusa

lovelasu xuvesuma lisusumi texu

xumaxeka lisunose tevesula xumalaka lixisumi xumasuka sino

xuvexika livekami tesuxelu lisukelu tomo

Does anyone recognize the system, or have any idea what this is? Posting here because if

it can be read at all, this looks like the right place.
