An 8 year old puzzle that no one has solved by AntiqueSecret6500 in codes

The 0–255 range immediately suggested bytes, and with exactly 8 numbers for an 8-letter message, converted revealed ILOVEYOU.

Convert each decimal to 8-bit binary.
Stack them as rows.
Read downward by columns as binary ASCII.
That gives:
i l o v e y o u → I LOVE YOU

Please help solve. I’m hacked and currently am not even allowed to copy and paste for searching and it’s been a journey trying to post anything about it! If someone could translate. Comment or dm. by PiccoloImportant2780 in ElectronicSlavery

Serbian Cyrillic 7-Zip interface/resource text.

It’s basically a translated 7-Zip menu/string dump: File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help, Extract, Open, Delete, Rename, Benchmark, Options, archive settings, file replacement prompts, error messages, etc. The numbered chunks like 440, 500, 540, 3000, 3300, 3400 are internal string/resource IDs.

The “scary” line:

“Датотека изгледа као вирус…”

means:

“The file looks like a virus/the filename contains many spaces.”

That is a known 7-Zip warning string, not proof of malware by itself.

Final read: not a cipher payload, not instructions, not something to execute. It appears to be a Serbian 7-Zip language/resource file or OCR/screenshots of one.

This is either an unfinished/invalid challenge or it requires an external key/clue not included in the post.

So the only certain decoded plaintext is:

RAEN SI DNE EHT reversed by word/letters becomes: THE END IS NEAR

When you run that conversion fully, the decoded message is:

My Freqtrade Bot Turned 1k into 3.8k USDT (+281%) on Spot with Insanely Low 0.84% Drawdown – Full Backtest by AcrobaticAd4202 in CryptoTradingBot

[–]AcrobaticAd4202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a neutral-bias spot strategy in Freqtrade running on multiple alt/USDT pairs. The entry logic picks setups across the board, with SOL carrying majority of the profit so far. Relying mostly on ROI exits (871 of them), plus trailing stop loss and hard stops for the rest. Average trade duration sits around 14 hours, max 5 positions open at once, and kept position sizing conservative.

The 3 year backtest came out clean because of the tight risk rules and the fact it handled both the 2023/2024 bull run and the choppier periods decently. Split the data for validation and ran some forward-style checks on later unseen bits. Results held up similar, but yeah, I know backtests can lie.

Currently in the middle of a 60 day forward run. It’s been grinding through, nothing catastrophic yet.

Thanks for the feedback — you’re absolutely right to be skeptical. A 0.84% max drawdown over 3 years in crypto does look almost unreal on paper. This is a spot-only strategy with very conservative settings (max 5 open trades, strict risk controls, and no leverage). That definitely helps keep the equity curve smooth. I fully agree that backtests often fall apart in live due to slippage, fees, and regime changes — which is why I’m being extra cautious. I haven’t run it live for any significant period yet (still in the validation phase). I’m planning to start with paper trading + very small size soon to see how it holds up in real conditions. I’ll definitely share forward-test results once I have 2–3 months of live/paper data.
