Freelancer Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 any hints on what to do with the clue from part 1. i am very lost. They message that looks like random characters is actually a code. It is a simple letter substitution that you have to decode. Start with small 2 and 3 letter words to get started. I need help with part 3. I did some steganalysis on the "cake" but it does not seem to contain anything hidden. Hints please Freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I really appreciate the help. Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donito Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 After they revealed all on the live show last night I don't think it will hurt being more specific. Especially since they already have winners. The code on the first part can be decoded at rot13.com Google rot13 to learn more about it. It's very simple and you can have a lot of fun with it. I won't give away anymore in case people still want to have fun searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ive Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 decoding the words was easy - the unx5.bet part made it obvious. You knew that was hak5.org and the rest just followed. I did that step right away after I watched ep 11 and went and entered the code however there was no obvious instructions on where to go next so I just stopped at that point.

Trying googling the first part of the clue. Then use the force, err, I mean the source. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 I know its a little late, but is HAK5.ORG/RTT is active? Yes it is and you can still submit your codes but winners have already been chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Even though the contest is over I would still like to continue and complete it. Still looking for a hint about the "cake" passphrase. Thanks Freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrydawgg Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yeah, I know there are winners, but this egg hunt helps me think on new levels. I really like mind puzzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Gosh Dang It, Just Watch the episode and I couldn't get passed microshaft pharmicuticals I was looking in the wrong direction. I went through any episode mentioning microshaft looking for anything that could be the clue :). Wow was I lost :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Just saw the latest episode of Hak5. I am such a bone head. I can't believe I didn't try those passwords. Awesome contest can't wait for the next one. Freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endeavormac Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 They did not announce the winners in the last episode. When/where are they going to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingToChatWith Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Probably in the next episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
