    I was sent this by a friend

    Code:
    begin 666 Restricted.zip

    `
    end
    the only thing I was told was "your hint is: this is a popular encoding, not an encryption." and this "There's more under the sky than zip alone...(hint .rar)" anyone wanna fancy a guess on how to decrypt this?



    Orrigionally I figued i could use a crc check, checksum with a 60byte encryption, but that diddnt work.

    copy what you have in the code part, then past to notepad.. then save as an exe, then execute it...
    it started printing off many bank sheet sof paper... :lol: I had to unplug my printer in order to stop it... at work :duh:
    maybe I shouldn't have done that.. results could have been worse... :duh:


    I keep trying :lol:


    EDIT: You'll also notice upon doing that, that the cursor will move about the screen... the little underline cursor I meen.

    ok.. cracked it...
    Code:
    . . . I hope I am talking to the right person. if this information were to fall into the wrong hands. . . 
    I copied the stuff in the code peice of your post and pasted it inot notepad, then saved it as restricted.rar. Then I downloaded and installed winrar 3.0 from the first google search I got for winrar download. The file simply contained restricted.zip, opened and had restricted.txt.. then low and behold.. text file...

    what this for anyways?


    EDIT:OK.. found out..
    your friend might be concerned about this, stated in the rules:
    "Cheating - Mod-X is a single player game...if you help another agent or recieve help - you are cheating. . ."

    i must admit some of these challenges are fun, as i tend to get board on most things (short attention span or somthing). But jinkies, people, they are challeneges, its like the people who cheat on the puzzels in a newspaper!

    Hurm maby we should have a little BT challenge :), maby cracking rather than decyrption thou !

    That would be cool. That one was easy... The first ones are hard... /me is having trouble.. an d/me is also having a short attention span...
    will get through it though

    I might have been harder if I hadn't posted what I knew so far...(hint *.rar)

    edit: I was just thinking to hard, I thaught it would have been much more complicated than that.

    If you really like this sort of thing, look at this site. You really get to know about software encryption/decription and the whole site is full of riddles
