Stego 14

That was really a retarded font, but it was a good mission though

1. find the key (easier than you might think)
2. try to figure out which cipher it uses
3. find out what are the letters in the image (No numbers)
4. decrypt it

Haha this mission kept me awake the last night but was cool though i didn't even know that somewhat like this would work. Maybe i was a little bit lucky as i found the key somewhat fast (it helps to search for "magic things"

). But i was running into major problems finding the correct cipher ... i was more or less lucky "falling" over a decoder that asked for something damn close to what the key looks like

.

/edit: maybe it was a little bit too much of a spoiler ...

This was quite an easy one... only 51 people completed it??

Well the problem is the ciphertext.. As others b4, me too get the b*****ng password (construction work) which doesn't work. No number within either the ciphertext or password. What do i need to do? I think this is irrelevant to the stego mission objective thus a clear hint (and not an additional riddle) would be kind enough...

Ok

I don;t know if the picture was redesigned, but if you zoom and stick your nose to the fkn screen you can see the encrypted text given by the challenge is P*********. That;s right last letter is "O". Just remember to assume that it is a D .........for some reason :evil:

... (and low letters)

This took me the longest time to figure out, but I eventually got it. The last letter in fact is not "O", but something similarly shaped.

*Edit* just reread the post, he actually mentions the letter, mods feel free to delete this message.

This one was hard, but fun. Would've taken me half the time if the encrypted text had been easier to read though.

Finished Stego 14, now in the small group of people who have.

Now to try 15.
