Hello /b/,
a long time ago you disappointed me. Now is the time to make up for it.
This time I will give you a point to start at. You will have to pave your own road however.

Don't disappoint me.

I think you are a faggot OP
im not edumacated enough for this
HOLD CTRL AND TYPE "WTF" FOR ℱ
fake and gay
Cicada 3301? But it's not 2017 yet, they've released they're tests for 2016 already.
>>711353580
Cicada doesn't publish anything without PGP signature anymore, so this isn't Cicada. Looks interesting doe.
HOLY SHIT LOOK WHAT I FOUND
Apollo, son of Zeus.
Eris, Goddess of Discord and Strife.
And Selene, goddess of the moon.
There is also a string on the image.

no.

I am a three headed beast. My heads are barking, one by one. You are darkness. There is light in front of you, accompanied by its own little marbles.
Using caesar's cipher with the 16th key, you get this

post the others, OP, we know there are more
ZedM2SGiUWWI3iZYIm1Nt8PEskuckMZ8BiZs3Hb7sGY=
I took the time to copy it from image to text, so can anon take the time to crack it?
>>711355718
If you want more you have to listen to your eyes - and after that - watch with your ears.
Pave your road with the obvious, but do not forget to look around you, for there are many deceiving lights around.
Why with the weird image resolution?
>503 by 457
>>711356089
I see you like to speak in codes, but I think we all know the road is already paved
Maybe you just want us to find it
>>711355863

or
ZedM2SGiUWWI3iZYIm[1]Nt8PEskuckMZ8BiZs3Hb7sGY=?
As someone already stated, the binary converted into "256 bit" which is a type of aes encryption. I'm fiddling around with everything stated to see if something pops up, but someone else is probably much better at this than I am.

I'm guessing it's encrypted with AES 256 bit encryption. We need a key and a hash
Somebody should make a discord chat.
>>711357035
FUCK
>>711357324
only question is what is the encrypted message
and what is they key
>>711357035
you cunt
>>711356572
There is no road as such. No one has passed this test yet, that is why I am disappointed and that is why I gave you a point to begin with.
Let me tell you it is a road full of music. It is a road full of inspiration. It is a road full of wonder. It is a road full of knowledge. It is a road full of beauty.
Don't hesitate to say a word, open up your mind ...
>>711350748
OP, whats the answer?
Sorry, i'm too lazy.
>>711357525
With the ZedM2... after the line "Don't hesitate to say a word, open up your mind", I'm guessing thats the Hash. Now, for it to be that short of a 256 bit encryption the password should be relatively short I think.
>>711358086
Before I go on with trying to untangle this knot of mysteries, I must ask.....Is what you say inspiration, or is what you say clues pointing to this great road you speak of?
>>711358771
it just proves op is a faggot who wastes everyone's time
>>711358771
>>711354862
Try and read my string to untie your knot.
My last post was not a clue.
Your road depends on yourself. Everything you encounter on your way will benefit you in one way or another - so watch. But do not forget to look around you, for there are many deceiving lights around.
>>711358742
if its short can it be bruteforced?
580, 1, H, 2005, sun, universe, one, hydrogen
>>711360012
Maybe, but that would ruin the game.
>>711361371
isnt much fun yet
>>711361090
Whats that supposed to mean?
Has anyone here seen the numbers at the top of the image?
>>711362722
Those are some ideas one folk had some time ago. I remember it very clearly.
It contains some crucial information to decrypt my string. Still they have not been able to decipher it. I told them to try again but they only disappointed me.
This, folks, is how to fuck up my brain
Bump, I also got the numbers at the top.
00110010 00110101 00110110 00100000 01100010 01101001 01110100 01110011
Fuck, don't die. I don't care if its fake I still wanna do this shit.
Bump.
>>711355287
How did you change the color and get the text to show. I can get the text to pop up but too blurry to read.

I was thinking orbit was representative of the Sun, Earth and the moon, which would make sense as they correspond with the Greek Gods mentioned. But It could also be a hydrogen atom? Idk never took chemistry past highschool, went into accounting; and not the cool FBI cryptology kind.
>>711365235
Yea thats what I did. Shit just come out blurry
>>711365037
It's actually just easier to read if you read it straight from the source file
>>711365679
Wow you are right.
I understand that it is a diagram of a planet orbiting orbiting a star, along with a moon orbiting said planet. Apollo is the name of a god of sun in Greek. Eris is an exoplanet in the far reaches of our solar system. I'm stumped at Selene though.
Base64 decrypts to : eL!Qe&X"mMIJK|&lvf
lol it just leads to this gif, it's pretty funny though
>>711365834
Selene is Apollo's sister, the God of the Moon
>>711353580
What were 2016 tests
No amount of pasting strings of code into decoders online is going to do anything here. There's something hidden in that orbit though
>>711366075

>>711367248
Same string my friend. The beginning of this road has not changed. What comes afterwards has been - well - trimmed a little - for you closer minded folks.
A single person has found his way to the next step 13 minutes ago. I am deeply disappointed.
>>711367507
How do we know you're the same person.
Clearly not. If you're disappointed, find a better audience to appease your 'eagerness' to find someone clever. 4-Chan isn't the best place.
Find this person: Gibson-11825
If you're the same person, and looking for a cryptographer. I think he'll suit your needs.
You're beautiful, OP.

Find him, if you need a cryptographer.
>>711367999
Checked.
>>711367940
I am not looking for a cryptographer per se. I am looking for open minded folks that are actually able to engage in some projects that are unbearable alone.
I also prefer people that share my taste in how things are done.
>>711368122
We are all beautiful deep inside. Let nobody tell you otherwise, they are blinded by the lights of this world and do not understand the true beauty of life and matter.
One folk once said: "We are the universe experiencing itself". Isn't that true beauty?

He's still worth looking for.

It also just equals "+" in Octal. Not sure about anything else though, looking into it.
what do you mean by It also just equals "+" in Octal. >>711369081

Thanks m8 <3
>>711368793
You do not understand my intentions. I doubt anyone unable to finish the simplest of my tests could be of any help to me.
Open up you mind ...
>>711368683
Carl Edward Sagan has anything to do here or nah
Apollo = Sun
Eris = 136199 Eris
Selene = 580 Selene
???
>>711369177
i don't get this shit. someone explain so i can be of use
dunno if this help but here is a part of the metadata
>>711357035
Fuck you
>>711369492
have you at least readed to what it translate ?
>>711369310
some guy sayd it was maybe a hash to decrypt
>>711368793
>"You do not understand my intentions."
The same can be said for you. I don't need to have incredible problem solving skills to be a source of information.
I guess some people can't accept help from someone who is 'clearly' below them.
Happy hunting, I'm sure you won't find what you're looking for because you're not looking for what you want.
>>711369673
yes it said " REPLYTOTHISORYOURMOMWILLDIEINHERSLEEPTONIGHT"
>>711369791
but do you know how he got the morse code ?
>>711369791
If true, then well fucking played.
>>711369868
it's true i checked and posted a decrypt of it
carl sagan the folk from >>711368683
was a researcher for the nasa and he lead the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI)
so you are telling me that they found alien life on
(1862) Apolo
(136199) Eris
(580) selene
and your picture with just one ball could tell us that just one of these have alien life?
am i on a right path or did i open mi mind too much?
>>711369691
I would never put a human being below me. I would only put them on another road.

this is really gay
>>711369995
You composed a little too much my friend. This is not an ongoing conspiracy. Keep it simple. Use the given resources and my hints.
>>711369242
Apollo = God of music, poetry, knowledge (Sun)
Selene = Moon (According to greek mythology, she was also referred to as "Luna", moon in spanish.)
Eris = Goddess of discord. (Dwarf planet behind Pluto)
>>711369995
Ive been looking for a lead for hours now
Thanks, anon
>>711370011
So if said fish knows a bird, is the fish not worth listening to?
Your reasoning makes no sense, you're neglecting all possibilities to solve your 'problem' or 'riddle'.
>>711369322
Be creative you insipid shit
Sun is life and the moon can be represented by healing time periods. There will be a discord in life and the healing of it
>>711370117
well checked again , he is just a fucker and i was in the wrong way,so to you , if you read this you, who posted this morse text, go fuck yourself you unhelping flithy time consuming unfuny asshaty assholr
OP, this is giving me something to mull over. Please make a new thread recapping the given hints so that the thread can live on longer, in the event it 404's.
>>711369995
Seems like you opened your mind too much, but be proud of your creativeness.
>>711370477
exactly, fuck him
>>711370464
decrypt and recrypt with different key to have the uncrypted message ?
ALERT TO EVERYONE TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT: KEEP IN MIND THAT OP IS GIVING MANY IMPLICATIONS THAT WE WILL FIND THE RIGHT ROAD IF WE STICK WITH THE GREEK SHIT
IVE BEEN HERE FROM THE START AND IF THERES ONE THING THAT TIES THIS ALL TOGHETHER IT GREEK MYTHOLOGY
>>711370336
My friend, I am really sorry if you feel insulted. But this string is only the first part of a variety of tests.
This is not only about cryptography. This is more of a small recruitment. I am not only testing your infosec, I am also testing you as a person.
Whoever solves this will be a valued part of important future projects.
If you want to impress me, show me what you can do with this simple little AES string.
>>711370728
This makes sense.
if he know if someone got it or no, there is maybe a website
>>711370228
I am mostly just curious how you appeal to our minds, and wish for us to open them. However at the same time you say we are a disappointment if we cannot solve your puzzles which are only supposed to be solved one way. That is, to be closed minded in our way of solving the puzzle. We can only solve it one way, isn't that the anti thesis of being open minded, I.E thinking outside the box.
Now, I'm not saying that giving us intellectual stimuli in the form of a puzzle isn't good. By and far it's great for mental exercises and for learning new things. I for one, am not versed in how to use a computer, so I can't for the life of me know where to start here, but even for those who are you are still only appealing to a limited audience by giving us a puzzle that requires foreknowledge of a certain degree.
If you wish to make your audience truly open their minds, wouldn't it be better to create a puzzle which allowed even a laymen to solve the first step and be introduced to the necessary information he/she needs to learn how to solve the next step ad infinitum(or at least until we have solved enough to satisfy your needs) be a better way of going about it?
Sincerely, A dumb dumb person.

Why are we not funding this ?

I sent him the link to this page, this is what he asked for me to say.
"Your riddle is shit, your method of recruitment is inefficient. It is not worth my time. It is not worth anyone's time. There is no incentive to play your game, there is no reward for anyone's effort with this child's play." - Gibson 11825
I don't think he would've helped anyways.
>>711371269
Dude, you're not dumb, and there's not only 1 way to solve this. Many people with different knowledge of a variety of things are helping putting the pieces together. You are being creative and that is the key to this riddle. You just went on the wrong path and thought this was a conspiracy theory.
Try again, don't give up yet anon.
I am not OP.
>>711371679
>Samefag
What he said IS true though, why bother if there is not clear reason why.
>>711371269
You are not dumb my friend, you just do not know what my hints mean for this first part. The image alone contains the most obvious hints for solving this part.
It containts the words that have to be used, it contains even necessary settings, the only "hard" party - I can imagine - is extracting the needed key from my illustration.
Determined people will be able to use the clearnet to their advantage. Even non-infosec people could solve this puzzle if they would just look at it in a way that is more or less open minded.
Let me tell you that the illustration is very very very accurate in every tiny aspect of it. Every little detail is very carefully placed.
Just look at it if you want to find out. It is so simple you would want to rip your hairs out if you knew the phrase.
>>711371884
>Samefag again

>>711371679
Well I have not had any incoming traffic. It means that he did not progress in any way. Very sad indeed.

Dunno what that means but, if you're implying he tried to solve it. He didn't. I asked him to anyways, but he wouldn't.

>>711372457
Let him at least decypher this little string. It would certainly help out:

any dumb anon like me ?
>>711366075
man this thing blocked my pc what the hell?
someone have any idea on how planet are located in space.
>>711372283
>Samefag
Although I am genuinely curious. I personally, want to know what the fuck you're on about.
But I'm no good with this kind of problem solving. By the time 'I' figure it out, someone's already beat me to it.
>>711372003
I might be way off track. But is Mars an answer here? Like the key necessary to decrypt a code or something?
Welp, going to sleep.
Sorry i wasn't of any use guys
>>711372674
Sure? I'll ask.
>>711350748
the planet orbiting the white dot with greek gods has it's moon in the same position that the planet is in relative to the white dot with the greek gods
maybe there is something in that idk
>>711372674
Nope, he won't. He still says it's a waste of time, and most likely bait because it's 4-chan.
He said that if it was Cicada 3301 he'd try.
But there is no PGP sig, so it's not Cicada.
ok guys, i know nothing of astronomy, but the solution is right there
so the imagen shows a sun, a planet, and a moon
the only thing I can think of related to apollo is the own sun (greek mythology) and the space misions
eris is a dwarf planet
selene is our moon, or maybe another moon
it's something related to those celestial bodies, with some help we can solve the mystery.
I have no idea about internet, so I have no idea about the links and the info, but I'm certain the image is very important, and it shows what it shows
>>711373060
It definitely is not 3301 and it will not be 3301 for a very very long time. If he desires to descend into their blinded world he might as well print out the liber primus and paper his walls with it.
>>711372783

>>711373149
on the other hand, there might be a relation with atoms, as Sagan used hidrogen to measure time
You see, hidrogen has a very simple core, and a single electron. But that is unlikely because there's a third element in the image.
I'll show what sagan thought, because it might become useful
He showed a male and a female humans
He showed the inversion in the spin of an electron in the hydrogen atom, that causes a wave, useful to measure time
He then showed a point (the solar system) reached by some lines, which represent the nearest pulsars to our solar system. He escalated the distance with the time showed using the hydrogen atom. As pulsars can be used to measure time too, it is a "galactic system" to show a point in space.
Lastly, he showed all the distances in our solar system, from planet to planet, the sun...
>>711374005
The answer is 'Man'?

Imma win the lottery this week.
Dem Quads!
>>711355287
Here's a clearer version if anyone needs.
Not OP but these mspaint pictures are hurting my eyes, go off of this. I changed the colours to make each component slightly distinct.
Keep it up OP, this is tricky yet I feel it is simpler than I think. I'll reiterate what I said earlier, please keep pushing this onto us until it is solved; 404ing wouldn't be very good.
>>711374516
Funny thing is, I was just talking about how getting quads is like getting trips, but only at a certain time of day.
>>711374642
Damn, we had the same idea (I don't know if you're OP or not but)
>>711374738
I'm not, I'm just as stumped as the rest of us are.
Keep up the good work, though.
ok so we need to put all the info in a common place
what do we got about the top numbers?
what do we got about the image itself?
what do we got about the sentence below?
what do we got about the large group of characters in the bottom?
I will have to abandon this thread for today. I very much appreciate every contribution but sadly I am disappointed again. Do not take this as an insult friends, I am disappointed in myself.
This has been going on for four hours now and I have other things to do. As soon as I see incoming traffic I will release the next part off its chains.
If not then I will have to craft new hints and restart this at some later time.
I don't know if it's been picked up on, but intentional??
Kudos OP for how elaborate this is.
>>711374972
Open Google Doc for next time?
>>711375019
At least give us 1 more hint before you go.
>>711375063
It is indeed intentional. Thanks for noticing, that makes the bottom of my heart smile.
>>711375124
this, give us something to go on
>>711375019
22.1 / 6.1.9.18.5 / 6.15.21.20.18.5
hey op
>>711375124
The last hint is not an easy one I am afraid
On a celestial playground there is one living horse on the blazing carousel, it does not burn quite the right way.
In one of OP's responses/hints he says, "If you want more you have to listen to your eyes - and after that - watch with your ears."
specifically "listen to your eyes"
in audacity you can import raw data and turn it into audio, that would allow us to turn something we saw with our eyes into something we can listen to
there are a few parameters and im a complete fucking newfag to sounds and stuff so maybe someone else could look into it
>>711375095
don't know how, but you can do it yourself friend
only thing I can help with
Apollo is:
- Greek god (sun, healing...)
- Space program that went to the moon
- A crater in the moon
- An asteroid
Eris is:
- Greek god (strife and discord)
- A dwarf planet
- A simulation of the milky way
Selene is:
- The moon
- A minor planet orbiting the moon
- Greek god (related to apollo)
>>711354339
Sun moon and stars....the large orb os the sun the other is a planet with a stalite or moon going around it
what do we got about the top numbers? 256 bits
what do we got about the image itself? planet or H atom
what do we got about the sentence below? op its a fag
what do we got about the large group of characters in the bottom? its a AES encryption
>>711375553
maybe data in binary that convert to the key ?

Comrades, I think we may bee going to deep in this. OP said he needs more of an OPEN mind, doesn't necessarily mean a DEEPER mind. We must think OUTSIDE the box. Could the answer be in the hint itself? Could the hints be methods of throwing us off?
-MadMudak
>>711375574
btw eris has a moon, dysnomia
but by standarts of measurement, the orbit of the image is way smaller than the orbit of eris, and it's an ellipse
ok so we need to just focus on greeks
Here is the better display of the other lines.
>>711375702
can someone check how from the message we get the hash
>>711358742
The password is 342 19 24 17
>>711376138
I think the key is in the actual names, or something to tie with GREEK mythology.
Perhaps a name of a Greek god?
Any /b/tard know if they have anything in common? The three?

>>711376031
I daresay mine is clearer ( >>711375063 ), better point of reference despite the colour
the image is just the earth. scalating the distance is more or less like that, mars is way too far and smal, and has two satellites, and venus has a similar orbit, but has no satellites
>>711376316
not that , message and the hash on the bottom
>>711376138
I just flipped it when OP said "it does not burn the right way." That's not it, though.
What if, it has something to do with the pixel measurements, of the orbit?
Perhaps something to do with the image itself?
Can anyone see where I'm going with this?
Here are the hidden lines in text.

OP, you're hurting my head
>>711376468
Yes, as soon as I saw this (about an hour ago) I took note of the angles from the centre to the orbit but I immediately dismissed it as me overthinking.
Wait a second, I'm not sure if I'm just a retard, but I've just figured out that if Apollo, the center circle is the sun, shouldn't the other two be a mock-up of a planetary system, with moons? Eris and Selene?
throwing a wild idea
apollo is our sun, we are eris (as the world in on turmoil), and selene is our moon
simple, fits the imagen and the names, and fts the mythology and the astronomy
still no correlation with the links

You most have posted that while I was trying to edit the picture. I posted the lines as text a little further down.
>>711376730
I'm not the only one, anyone else catching on?
---- Mine: >>711376717
Someone focus on the hash and the "256 bits". Someone else work on the picture. The image itself is showing an object orbiting the sun, moon, and dwarf planet. So basically, it's orbiting our solar system. Where else could we go from here?
>>711376717
You mean like this?
>>711376812
How does that help us though?
>>711376881
Yes, yes.
Sorry if I'm saying something completely idiotic, I myself think it MIGHT tie in.
continuation of the thread here >>711376960
No clue what i'm doing but, overlayed the orbits.
The coded message in the original post looks like a URL. If you assume that those first six letters of the coded message are the first six letters of a regular URL, can't you figure out the encoding method with that? I'm only thinking of that movie about Alan Turing
>>711377265
This is probably a step in the wrong direction, because that image >>711376881 probably came from Google and is therefore irrelevant to our cause, but it's something:
>Neptune has 13 moons, Triton, Nereid, Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Larissa, Proteus, and Galatea, plus five smaller, unnamed moons. Triton and Proteus orbit close to Neptune; Nereid is in a distant orbit.
>>711377265
Okay so it's overlaying Neptune. Im not sure if this is relevant though. Should we see the greek ruler of neptune? They said everything is tied to greek mythology.
Eris, Apollo, and Selene are (or were) all names related to space exploration projects. (Lockheed Martin/NASA/Japan) Selene is a lunar Orbiter. Fiery carousel is solar system, wrong way meaning orbit... out past Neptune there's an with retrograde orbitnicknamed "Niku"(
Could there be some relation to numbers in a clock? Like the position of the planet in relation to the sun and the moon to the planet?
Nibiru
The coded message that looks like an URL and starts with STRING when decoded with a caesar cipher yields many results when put in an anagram search. There could be a logical arrangement of the letters that gives something

best meme 2016. this is better than trump tbh
Life is a puzzle and you should live it to the maximum potential.

>Try and read my string to untie your knot.
This bait is unbelievably lol.
>>711379247
kek, if it's bait, i really like op cause i learned so many things haha
>>711379247
Even so, it's fun as hell
Put the image into a spectogram, don't know if it'll help.

You are not dumb my friend, you just do not know what my hints mean for this first part. The image alone contains the most obvious hints for solving this part.
It containts the words that have to be used, it contains even necessary settings, the only "hard" party - I can imagine - is extracting the needed key from my illustration.
Determined people will be able to use the clearnet to their advantage. Even non-infosec people could solve this puzzle if they would just look at it in a way that is more or less open minded.
Let me tell you that the illustration is very very very accurate in every tiny aspect of it. Every little detail is very carefully placed.
Just look at it if you want to find out. It is so simple you would want to rip your hairs out if you knew the phrase.

This is a quote from the guy.
>Phrase we must know,
Are there any Greek Phrases that tie in with all THREE characters?
Apollo , Selene, and Eris?
Maybe this is the answer, we have to find a certain saying.
Could the 22.1 numbers be part of GPS coordinates?
Perhaps an archaeological dig site?
Anything important excavated there?
Maybe, also, we must find it a TIME period.
Anyone considered checking if the binary code could hint at an era?
>Not sure where I'm going with this, trying to get the thought process started.
I think everybody is looking in the wrong direction. I think all that you need is the information from the picture and some knowledge about the pieces that make up the picture. I do not think that extra programs will be of any use.
Bump
Did anyone perform a reverse image look up on the original image. I did and found two threads that were archived on 4chan archive.

Me too but some of our info ties in with OP's quotes and hints.
Fuck this shit, I give up. It doesn't matter whether I'm not smart enough or not creative enough to solve this, I just can't solve this even with 30 other anons and 2 threads. We're so far from our goal that our best "leads" are just vague ideas that will never be the answer.
I'm going to bed, have fun with your "puzzle".
i dont know if it will help but the binary at the top has minute differences between some characters and seem like a pattern also both circle have a part different color
Earlier he said "You have to listen to your eyes - and after that - watch with your ears"
By "listen with your eyes" I think that he means that you need really pay attention to what you are seeing, that is, to pay attention to the picture and the hints.
By "Watch with your ears" It's possible that the final solution will yield an audio clip for us to enjoy. I do not think that this part of the hint has anything to do with the solution to the riddle.
It is important to first analyze the hints so that we can understand the purpose or intent of the riddle within the image, and then it will be easier to solve it.
Also Apollo is not the god of sun in Greek mythology if this helps i dont know.
