 		For Crypto II,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the first line could be referring to the Star Wars films. It seems to be a mash of different titles: Attack of the Clones, Phantom Menace, and Empire Strikes back. In the saga's order it would be 215, and chronologically, 542.

Final Crytography is Enigma:
Using rotors 215, pass: OPE

Gives:

WIFLIAMSHAKESPTART

William Shakespeare is the answer. The rotors are a bit off, or perhaps the pass, but it works!

 		Just too late.

Solved Cryptography Two:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As noted above, using the Vigenere key MONKEES:

Attack of the Phantom Empire and
Strangelove's recall and
Phone homer's swap

The last part is Enigma.

Using the rotors 215 (Star Wars episode numbers), the key OPE, reflector A:

WIFLIAMSHAKESPTART

Applying the last clue with the substitutions should bring this to William Shakespeare, which I've confimed as the answer.

 		Quick summary for everything that's been going on:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We got into the Umbrati site with the email that had War of the Worlds text on it. It's stegged with no password and you get an image with dots. When you overlay the dots on the original image, you get the Umbrati password darkfollowers.

Next, there are the Umbrati trials. Perception is really easy.

Cryptography one gives you different ciphers. The answers are Peter, Micky, Michael, Davy which make up the Monkees, which is the answer.

Number two, with a vigenere key of monkees gives you Attack of the Phantom Empire and ---- Strangelove's recall and --- phone homer's swap --- OCEUFGHIMPPTUDWWDN

Strangelove's recall code was OPE. With rotors 215 (the star wars episodes mentioned) you get WIFLIAMSHAKESPTART. The answer is william shakespeare (caps don't matter).
