![]() ![]() I'd take a minute and listen to the song, but if you wanted to run xxd over this song to dump the headers. Is anything by chance with Cicada? The Instar Emergence - 3301 Looking back at the audio file (below) we can see this filename is 761.mp3 which is prime, and the song is also 167 seconds long which is also prime. However, the trail was running cold so it was time to look back at the Cicada 3301 OS. This output you see above is common when using the xxd tool. The left side corresponds to the offset and right had the data itself. This is commonly seen when exploring files at the hex level. With a bit of scripting - you can dump all the tweets and the picture becomes a bit clearer. Though back to the message from the OS and it didn't take long for researchers to match that sign to the familiar Twitter. Outside of the mp3 file, the other files appeared to be gibberish with no known file magic/pattern. So investigating the ISO further led to the discovery of a few obvious files: This OS ends and continues looping on a message. At this point in the world of Cicada - you can only assume iterations of 3301 are involved. If you watch this a few times you can notice a pause before it writes out 10. So below is an animation of the boot process. With tools available in 2021 it was easy to virtualize this with a few clicks. https:-This when downloaded was actually a 130mb ISO file. Once completed this actually built a now defunct Dropbox address. The code followed (given the example - I:1:6) - Chapter 1, line 1 and letter 6. The hint at the top quickly pointed to The Book of Law by Aleister Crowley. This book code followed patterns like the previous story. ![]() URKvgl0/nZumrPQYbB1roxAaCMtlMoIOvwcyldO0iOQ/2iD4Y0L4sTL7ojq2UYwXīCotrhYv1srzBIOh+8vuBhV9ROnf/gab4tJII063EmztkBJ+HLfst0qZFAPHQG22 MSCS1Bx91z7uYOo2QwtRaxNs69beSSy+oWBef4uTir8Q6WmgJpmzgmeG7ttEHqujĦ9CLSOWOm6Yc6qixsZy7ZkYDrSVrPwpAZdEXip7OHST5QE/Rd1M8RWCOODba16Lu YyrAT5C+gs53YhOD圎Y0T9M2fam5AgUIWrMQa3oTRHSoNAefrDuOE7YtPy40j7kkĥ/5RztmAzeEdRd8QS1ktHMezXEhdDP/DEdIJCLT5eA27VnTY4+x1Ag9tsDFuitY4ĢkEaVtCrf/36JAAwEcwOg2B/stdjXe10RHFStY0N9wQdReW3yAOBohvtOubicbYY SLKjpc2Go98BWGReikDLS4PpkjX962L4Q3TZyzGenjJSUAEcyoHVINbqvK1sMvE5ĩlBPmsdBMDPreA8oAZ3cbwtI3QuOFi3tY2qI5sJ7GSfUgiuI6FVVYTU/iXhXbHtLīoY4Sql5y7GaZ65cmH0eA6/418d9K元Qq3qkTcM/tRAHhOZFMZfT42nsbcvZ2sWi IQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQ5QoZAAoJEBgfAeV6NQkPf2IQAKWgwI5EC33Hzje+YfeaLf6m ![]() It was straight to " outguess" to extract whatever information hide in this image.Īnother book code journey awaited. There was no obvious information attached to this file to give any hints. 4chan's /x/ & /b/ imageboards - January 5th, 2013 Only 366 days since Puzzle 1 dropped from the mysterious Cicada 3301 when another image was uploaded to 4chan. ![]()
