Doug Stockwell Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Anywayz, has Doug Stockwell mentioned how he found the key? I found the key directly in the ciphertext. I didn't recieve any package from Loki/Microsoft.

Aeschylus Maximus Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Please explain what ciphertext? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/36/#findComment-588167745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PricklyPoo Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I found the key directly in the ciphertext. I didn't recieve any package from Loki/Microsoft.

hyper4ctive Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I found the key directly in the ciphertext. I didn't recieve any package from Loki/Microsoft. the code on IEblog...isn't that the ciphertext? how'd you derive the key from there?

Doug Stockwell Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 the code on IEblog...isn't that the ciphertext? how'd you derive the key from there? Yes, if you perform rot +13 on the entire text, it's easy enough to spot.

novastar Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Right, if we perform a bunch of rots on all letters we can manually pick out parts that look like words after the transformations Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/36/#findComment-588167790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper4ctive Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 so u actually went from rot+1 all the way to rot+13?! good on ya! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/36/#findComment-588167814 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkezer Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 ...been watching with interest- Found a couple of interesting links on Euler and his theories- (Possibly) validating the formula Zyphrax mentions: Generalized Continued Fractions as well as some of Euler's illustrations and published works (all are Latin PDF's) "Mechanica, Vol. 1" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/36/#findComment-588167824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Stockwell Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 so u actually went from rot+1 all the way to rot+13?! good on ya! I skimmed over 1000 possible decryptions. My list is here if anyone wants to try: http://11011.net/vanishingpoint.txt This enumerates all rotations, keyboard shifts from -2 to 2, number adds from 0 to 9 (modulus). I convert 0,1,3,4 back to letters, strip other numbers, characters which arent letters, and keys which were shifted past the edge of the keyboard. The only keys which stood out to me were immortaliseme, and escapegravity. I did notice a couple of other possibly interesting decryptions: pvlxcscayfnwaejdneeixvnflbdkaeeamhassylaton - reversed "not alyssa" omckzxaxeatdbqeahsbwwiuzcmobdkvsjewelngleaatkerilb - contains "jewel" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/36/#findComment-588167861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoloco Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 OK, I'm new to this, but I'm fairly certain I'm on to something...on the "Biography" page, two natural constants are listed, kinda suspiciously...so I tried using "natura1c0n5tant" as a key, and viola! I'm not given the "stumped?" message...the problem is, nothing seems to happen at all. And in case any of you think this a fluke, I tried adding or subtracting random letters and symbols from it to see if I still got no message, but in every other case my key was incorrect.
