Cicada 3301: Raid Edition [Part 1]

31 posts in this topic

In the style.css, I noticed this:

bogus.code {style:15px;margin:51./*lzhhealzhpmpdbnbecc*/8cc;bottom:92;text:cool;}

That comment (/* */) might be significant, I'll see what I can do

 

in the javascript:

//0x730x6f0x720x720x59 0x49 0x6d0x610x640x45 0x790x6f0x55 0x770x610x730x740x45 0x790x6f0x750x52 0x740x690x6d0x45 0x620x650x630x610x750x730x45 0x740x680x650x720x45 0x690x53 0x6e0x6f0x740x680x690x6e0x47 0x680x650x720x45 
What was it that Tim Berners-Lee invented in late 1991? And no, I don't mean the world wide web. Something that we use on top of the world wide web.
//I never repeat the same trick twice.

Usenet maybe?

 

The hexadecimal in the javascript translates to:

sorrY I madE yoU wastE youR timE becausE therE iS nothinG herE

or is there?

The capital letters put together make:

YIEUEREEESGE

 

Edit:

This was on August 6th, 1991

It says that it's not the www, but maybe something can be found.

i found the same stuff, couldnt figure out the meaning of the comment in the style.css and the capitalized letters, tried caesar cipher & stuff

 

i think the thing "on top of world wide web" is hyper text transfer protocol? http?

I am trying to go through this by myself bit by bit, but don't know what shift to use for caesar cipher :|

 

EDIT: My bad xD Done it.

 

What if "YIEUEREEESGE" or "lzhhealzhpmpdbnbecc" is another caesar cipher, but we need to somehow find the shift? 

 

EDIT: Meh I doubt it is.
