arkark Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 @Warrior7 when you entered the fingerprint, what was the exact format you used? did you remove spaces and/or convert to lowercase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior7 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I literally just copied the text from the message itself, same casing and all. There is no spaces in the "full fingerprint ID", it's the one you used to get the key in the first place. However, I'm not sure which one actually triggered it, as after entering it and not seeing anything happen immediately and the field was still visible, I took the "primary key fingerprint" from one of your decryptions and entered it, again exactly as shown with spaces. Again I didn't see anything happen immediately, so I just went about my business until minutes later my profile picture switched in between me browsing my profile settings. I assume a script kicked in and made the site changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior7 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Yes. I didn't know what it was at the time and was just entering because I remembered that the message said to confirm it in the "user profile". Figured I'd give it a shot since it somewhat lined up with what the message said to do, but also assumed I missed something when nothing happened immediately.

craftcabbage Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 After some thought, I'm not too sure if all of the changes are actually based on cracking the encryption. I think some of the updates to the countdown site are just based on the amount of time that has passed, seeing as it has updated every two days. Then again, you guys were solving the encryption in between that time, so I could be wrong as well. However, if it is based on time, there are at least 14 more hours before we could get another clue.

Mandalanakan Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Yeah, every time that it has updated, they've given us more clues. IIRC, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkark Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I believe this need to be solved for new stage, maybe they thrown a hint if we not able to guess. Maybe we should focus in the deciphered messages of the video, may contain any hint (in the previous stage this message contained the word AP, that ended being the password for the image): AP Secure Connection Decrypting Incoming Datastream <-- This may refer to the hidden link that contain the gpg binary file with the subject to send. Verify UID fingerprint 724EA9458ED40fbf <-- This may be indicating who to send the message, the UID is the user id of the gpg key, this is Helena Walker <HLNA.WLKR@gmail.com>. However Im not really sure if this is saying us to "Verify the fingerprint of the UID from key 724EA9458ED40fbf", this would be a separate 40 bytes string, or this mean "Verify the UID of the key with fingerprint 724EA9458ED40fbf", that is the email. Command elevation request granted <-- No clue on what this may mean. Elevation in computing means you get elevated privileges to run a program, like you are a normal user and you get admin privileges. Command Received: syscheck <-- Syscheck is part of a forensic suit, basically what this does is monitor if a given file has changed. Not much sense here but should mean something in this context. Not something that we can install in our computers to attempt to discover a code, unless this would mean they gonna distribute a code via a steam game files update. But I dont see this possible, as it will exclude the players of other platform. AP Secure Connection Processing ... Also when we discovered the message "[LOG_TRANSMIT] Secure communication request. Please respond with subject "6aa6816d-e710-4024-a28e-834315c92fdf"." I think we need to combine with "[LOG_RECEIVE] Future communications using fingerprint ID 724EA9458ED40FBF only.". I mean, she is throwing a bait to us, and when we communicate using the subject 6aa6816d-e710-4024-a28e-834315c92fdf she responds like if we aren't the person she is wanting to contact. Also another thing to consider, the format of the forum adds too much noise with files name that probably dont have any relevance. Some of the images that contain a 32 bytes string are probably auto-generated by the forum itself, and dont have nothing to do with the puzzle.

Have you exhausted trying to use this in every application? Primary key fingerprint: C3FB C832 2297 5EF0 27C2 46D7 724E A945 8ED4 0FBF Fun fact for all. If you send an empty email with subject line containing both alphanumeric strings that garner responses with the 72... as the second string in the subject after the 6aa... you get 2 responses at the same time, listed with the 72 response above the 6aa response.
