Re: Cryptomania

It's not Dvorak. The punctuation and spacing looks out of place, so I thought it needed to be shifted first. (Tried rail fence but nothing.) Was also thinking cryptogram, but i suspect its more evil.

... its more evil ...
Cheer up, no symbol encoding.
In other words: all cleartext characters are visible, they're just shuffled.
To be solved in two steps:
1. Rather simple arrangement lets you read how to de-shuffle.
2. Do it and you can read the message payload.

Correct. That will lead you to the right book. Look at the text above the hex. Notice something?

that is the answer :)
The keyboard hinted to 24.

Was there a hint to go and look at a bitly link??? And where did the 24 come from??

Re: Cryptomania

Yes. The capitals in the text spelt out BITLY. 24 came from the hint. If you used keyboard shift, it spelt out Jack Bauer, a character on 24.

Morse or binary?

Re: Cryptomania

BITLY: OK ;)
keyboard shift -> Jack Bauer -> (a character on) 24: looks like your mind is as evil/convoluted/cryptographically rearranged as Bolaf's :biggrin:!

Re: Cryptomania

Me? No ;) Just simple research. Bolaf didn't decode the keyboard (I gave it away by accident. See previous posts)

Maybe not. But you encoded the whole devious bit :)!

Re: Cryptomania

;) I keep thinking anagram, but that won't work. Could be a simple substitution, but Bolaf said "shuffle".

Re: Cryptomania

Nope. So far, the only thing I noticed is that if you group it in 3 columns, the first column starts with 'maze'....but the rest makes no sense.

And some recognizable words of course: read, yes, I, fix, ask....
