I noticed this, but I haven't done anything with it.

I wouldn't call what I did random guessing; I was lucky to find the start-point, but from there on I was exploiting the weaknesses of the system.

To find out, send an unspecified quantity of currency to SUBVERSIVEDUDE, and wait a random period of time to potentially receive advice. Very Happy

Or just break unwritten rules. That normally does the trick.

Surprised no one pointed this out, but in the source code of the moon page, there's some hidden text:

I'm assuming this is the cipher that tells us the proper order of numbers to click, even though we already found that out through random guessing... Might be something else, though.


I don't think it's pointing at the decode (though I could be wrong) just because the first and last set are identical and because it isn't nice neat hex numbers...

I also think this was a 'fire and forget' like the blog entries.

Nice solve Twiler.

I wonder what it is then? Could it be an accident? Or more likely an Easter Egg?

Also i thought I'd point out that, even though I too thought that the first and last strings were identical, they aren't.

7C47DF7D1 / 044051411 / 1C47DF7DF / 7C47DF7C1

However C47DF7 does appear in 3 of the 4.

Ciphers aren't really my thing so I'll let someone else figure out what all that means, if anything.

It may be of note that the code:
98 21 18 82 31 67

appears in Jessica's blog numbers:
44 21 84 16 33 02
36 14 18 79 22 63
98 28 06 19 59 42
67 49 96 01 18 67
19 87 34 66 31 17
35 09 32 73 45 91
30 85 33 44 56 98
25 73 82 70 78 33
67 72 42 82 55 99
88 65 71 62 15 17
13 51 53 04 17 12
56 54 60 28 60 05

Not sure what that would mean though...

The properties for the encrypted files have numbers like this where it says
ZIP information. (right click on .enf file or any, properties) CRC32:


So it looks like some compressed files, and maybe just all of the numbered umbrati font pictures.

fond a nice converter. auto converts any base into ANYTHING else. from base 2 to base 36

and is there any way to get 312954 out of anything else we have encountered?

that would have been the code on her number string to get the access page.
