[LORE CONTEST] Secret Documents: Part IV

H.M. Keres VII · 7 Jul 2016, 2:39PM

--------------------------------------------
A MESSAGE FROM H.M. KERES THE VIIth
--------------------------------------------
This is Keres VII of the Iron Star Company, ally to the Rebellion.

Commanders, we have retrieved the final document from this VEGA cache. It seems very similar to one of the other documents we retrieved, but I'm not sure of its significance.

Once again, the key is contained in the document itself. The encoding seems to be much more complicated than before, so do your best to break it.

Commander Burr has also provided a rebellion document with the same "encryption fingerprint". I don't understand the technical explanation, but Burr assures me that this will confirm the accuracy of the key, since we can verify the contents of our own document. Burr also assures me that this makes sense.

I will authorize a final reward for the first to deliver the document, key and methodology. The rebellion document also contains important information, and you'll have early access if you have the key.

My best regards.

Keres R. I.

You have 8 hours to solve it before I wake up. Have fun.

Looks like a cube net to me

EaglesWing · 7 Jul 2016, 4:04PM

Part VI? Isn't it supposed to be IV?

starfleet141 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:08PM

ok thats just out of my knowledge lool
but ill try (i dont even understand it lol)

Prefix and suffix probably have to do with file encoding or something like that

Solve looks like a cube; no idea what to do with it

yeah

i dont havent even learn this on school o_o
who's gonna broke the codes ? lol

Michael Swiech · 7 Jul 2016, 4:14PM

The second part looks like a Rubik's Crypto-Cube based Cipher. Not sure about the suffix/prefix part.

Saor Campos de Oliveira · 7 Jul 2016, 4:14PM

Did we already had part IV and V?

probably a typo of the part

nazar3901 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:20PM

i am looking ... i see numbers and letters
suffix and prefix

i have no idea what to do or from where to start lol

Carlo R · 7 Jul 2016, 4:21PM

is the final stuff a Rubic's cube?

Michael774692 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:21PM

here is the code in text:
Prefix:

Suffix:

(2) IAwDPbD/ /3GZPdAg oBFCTrBL

(9) JXApp7hu d9BOg3Ga U5+8Q/2u

i must say, this one looks really hard to solve

for what i read prefix is this: Grammar. an affix placed before a word, base, or another prefix to modify a term's meaning, as by making the term negative, as un- in unkind, by signaling repetition, as re- in reinvent, or by indicating support, as pro- in proabolition
and suffix is this :

Grammar. an affix that follows the element to which it is added, as -ly in kindly. or something addead to the end of something else
those words are supposed to be grammar stuff

coolman129921 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:28PM

has any one tried to form the cube if the numbers make a pattern?

good idea, the numbers have the shape of a cube

Michael774692 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:32PM

there are numbers un differents backgrounds and pointing to different direcctions, i bet the answer have something to do with 3 and illuminatis

illuminates confirmed lol

Munchie279 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:36PM

Someone's gotta figure out what file type this is first. Unfortunately I have to go sleep

Michael774692 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:45PM

hmm, i have been trying to decode from UTF-8 and ASCII but dont get nothing useful

Andrea Nard1 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:51PM

Is it a sudokube?

coolman129921 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:51PM

just did it and noticed by following the orientation of the number around the cube I have came up with some numbers by starting from a dead end and continue backwards till I get to another dead end. most likely useless but at least I tried.758888626(26),25364291(91)74864(64) and 7746(46). also noticed the 3 numbers all having the same orientation. here are the 3 numbers from them.3491(91), 19791(91) and 864(64)(the dead end) . hope this helps

i made a cube of it irl but i still can't shape anything

what do you mean? they don't chain very far

Michael774692 · 7 Jul 2016, 4:59PM

what if we try with the position and colours of the numbers?

Milo_ja · 7 Jul 2016, 5:00PM

It's prefix and sufix in IT way: beginning and the end of file. It's BASE64 encoded (http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp) PNG file, but looks like some part of file is missing. Cube should have encoded bytes of the middle part of PNG file (or files, maybe there is 9 small files, one for each letter). Hope it helps sb.

Basically I went to a dead end which is when 2 numbers are at 180 degrees to each other and went back to see what number is farthest number away from the dead end and just typed the number sequence . I am no code breaker
