crypt challenge :)

Thanks @zLKidda . I will take a look. If it makes me feel interested, I will try to spend a bit time. :p

Where should I put the answer I have?? Didn’t take too long to work out but enjoyed the challange. It took me about ten minutes. I have saved the answer on my website and you can see it. But if you don’t want the answer then don’t click on my link.

@Trinity: Just send your answer to this email: competitions@cybersecuritychallenge.org.uk. More info.

Okay Freewind1012 thanks will do!
The competition email is:

@Trinity: I have just figured out: This crypt is just a start-up welcome. There’s another 5-parts challenge. Read Christmas Cipher Challenge - 2013 for more info. Btw, you have decrypted a bit wrong. :p

@Keeper: Hope you like this challenge.

They are really quite basic.. If flabby gets the new levels I suggested running, you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Fine. I will wait for it. ;)

Can anybody point me in the right direction of where to start with this? I don’t want the answer, I just want a nudge in the right direction. I stumbled on the challenge over Christmas and thought I would have a go. Now its driving me mad.

Pathetic I know.

Any help appreciated

@stevericks: Wut? Did you join HackThis!! for this challenge? Whatever. Read the description of that encrypted music piece.

Still none the wiser…I registered cos its the only place I found discussing the challenge. I need some help in knowing where to start and what tools I may need. Brain etc…

Do you need to discuss about challenges or just this challenge in particular (Christmas Cipher Challenge - 2013)? I think that you need a bit of common sense to solve that encrypted music piece. Read its description and google what / who you haven’t known yet.

Obviously I know who Morse is., and presumably I have to convert something to morse, the music notes? Am I in the right area? I work in IT and look after security among other things. I am looking at getting a bit more involved in the security side and as such did a bit of googling and came upon this. I thought “that cant be too difficult”, I was wrong. And whats even worse is that I find a forum where people say they did it in 10 mins. I want to do the whole challenge, not sure if Im up to it, but if it takes me a year, so what!

Thanks for your help..

Steve.

@stevericks: Yeah, you are in the right way. Now it’s time for trial & error. :p

Freewind,

I can figure out the one on this forum, I finally get it. But its different from the one on the actual site. The one on the site makes no sense. Am I wrong?

@stevericks: I know what you mean. There are 2 music pieces: One for fun (click the family photo to view/download) and one for challenge (click the snowman to view/download). As you can see, there are 5 challenges in this contest.

ahhh. that’s how good I am, I didn’t even spot that. Well with your help I have managed to understand the one for fun, so onwards and upwards.

Thanks,

Steve.
