If he's urging us to keep going then maybe we have to crack the thing on our own...or what he's sending could have something that helps? Back to the grind

Put "burns his food" into an advanced google search comes back with Jesus and Yeshu, it seems to be a phrase for a heretic.
Have tried the names with vignere and beaufort but got garbage.
Just a thought.

Burns his food, is also a reference to pagan sacrifices....Already tried pagan and got nothing. Also tried christ and got nothing.

[mongo]

Have also converted to morse code then to binary, comes back with no hex.

here's the tool I've been using to try to crack the cipher, although with no success so far. It works for vigenere, so if this is a beaufort, I don't think it'll work, although it should I think, at least in terms of key analysis. It would decipher incorrectly even with the correct key though I believe. Would need a beaufort solver for that.

I've been using this one, simple java applet style.

UPDATE: He burns his food has changed to 'He berns his food...'

and the ciphertext appearing in the source has disappeared.

First stab at research: There is a famous restaurant, the Berns Salonger, in Stockholm, Sweden. So far neither Berns, Berns Salonger, Snerb or Regnolassnerb work as keys for either vigenere or beaufort. Someone may want to double check me on that.

Bern (Berne) is also a city/canton in Switzerland... the WSIS meeting was in Geneva... seems a stretch.

im not sure how releveant this is, but theres a new recording when you call 202 657 5076.

[Russell]

No this was mentioned back on page 12 of the thread. But here is a transcript and a recording for posterity.

[oxdeltaxo]

Check quickly it may lead to the key.

[Russell]

Ok ignore this post, a trout led me down the wrong path


But I will leave the recording up anyway as we dont have a copy of it on the thread yet.

Oh and the decoder i use is

Noooooooo.....Not trout, anything but trout.....

K, I'm about put my hand through the monitor and squish the head of the evil ladalan guys till they give me the key to cipher.

[k.a.n.d.i]

oh sorry for the trout.
i mustve missed that part.
my apologies.

this is my first arg. >.<

[Russell]

No probs, Its a long thread, and these things get missed now and again, its better to raise it and be proven wrong than not to raise it and we miss something. tbh it was a very small footnote that the message had been changed so not a horrific trout, welcome aboard
