 CICADA 3301 2014 IS BACK

[AtenSet]

It's funny how the nsa making schmuck agents follow this will probably lead to a boring bprd.

The chat is a bit unweildy for phone users.

This picture may be interpreted as illustrating Enochian Tartarus and the devil's hell.

Be wary of going along with the crowd when one misinterpretation can lead down what I assume you are multiple false paths.. I would help if I could code; I'll just try and interpret the pictures.

Main wikia still includes too much noise, since we dont know if it might play role in future. Main wikia is mostly brainstorming collaborative document, that tries to look semi organized... Its hard to set up organized structure in advance when you dont know how puzzles will be structured.
Still it contains many tutorials and walkthrougs for people who arent too savvy in hex, linux, network stuff... If we remove that things from articles, IRC channel is full of people asking how to convert hex to binary.
And formatting is awful since 5 people tried to format articles their own way and articles have been later edited by other people... Documenting stuff at ARGs has always been problem.

I ll post main pages of Cicada Primus Libre book decoded and translated to latin. For original runes versions look at this article:

This feels like main message Cicada wanted to send to its numerous new followers (because of all media hype this year).
We dont know if game is over, last PGP signed message we got from ciada was written on Jam 10th. Last onion page is currently down, not responding for browsers or telnetting. Pinging linode server produces no response (all port filtered on linode, all port not listed but 80 on onion, 80 closed). But onion 4 has not been not removed from TOR network yet.

Hu--man, you dont have to quote me every time. Actually if you can, it would be better if you delete that long quote in your first post, its annoying to scroll through my post , then we have to scroll through your one aswell

Anyways, we have progress

Onion 4 came shotrly back yesterday, showing string in which we found 4 new Liber Primus Book pages.
String can be found here: https://infotomb.com/vnq3e (!long file, might crash your browser!)
String was actually gzip, so you have to decompress it with gzip first before you can pull jpgs out of string.

One of jpgs consist outugessed message with encrypted address to onion 5 TOR hidden service web page.

Text from 4 jpg book pages:

Outguess message was only in one page, and it looked like this:

OK now to onion 5: http://q4utgdi2n4m4uim5.onion
Onion 5 was on for short period of time
It contained one 15MB long string of hex: https://infotomb.com/ooxyo (!long file, might crash your browser!)
String was PGP signed, one week ago with legit cicada 3301 key.

That was actually mp3 file. Song is less catchy than Instar emergence mp3 from 2013.
Here is link to mp3:
