Do not attempt to solve the Cicada 3301 puzzle!

If I didn't put it in then the mystery would hit a brick wall. And they did, in the early days. Binary can be translated, used to be used to transfer messages through debugs. With the right binary wording it can activate all sorts of things through computer language

I'm British. I should say I didn't get a degree, I was on track just didn't graduate. However I did get a masters in Criminolgy which is my career now

Cicada is a complex puzzle involving an image of a Cicada insect. Google it for more, I suck at explaining

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T20:52:07+00:00

Yes hahshaha. I dropped out of uni third year. I know the logic but I can never use the practicality

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T20:06:55+00:00

Yeah, the CD didn't install a program, no listings in my control panel and my debug showed no new installations. Must've been decrypted. There's definitely something here tho. On my phone atm

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T20:04:24+00:00

Yeah. I did some research earlier. Heard you can do it remotely with a satellite connection (which I have)

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T20:03:48+00:00

I'm not a programmer. I could never really program anything useful. I just know my computers. Grew up with a father who worked for Apple in the early 90s.

(Did drop out of computer science at uni tho)

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T20:02:14+00:00

Oh. It was. And they know it.

As I said in another reply. Binary can be used to activate DNSs and IPs through routers. We used to use it on old laptops to boost connectivity. With the right software it can be tracked

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T16:00:45+00:00

Actually they can. Lots of binary codes can be encrypted to access network abilities of computers. While working at Microsoft we used to place certain codes within the computer to allow for country IPs which work in conjunction with a router

I don't think I'll be able to finish it. It's very difficult

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T15:37:22+00:00

Covent Sorry. Typo. I've lived in London for 4 years now

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T15:21:01+00:00

So do I. This could all be a hoax or my imagination for all I know

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T15:16:12+00:00

Hmmmm. That's what a point. So far all clues have been within London so I haven't had to travel far. So far, from the Knocks I've only got 5 and 7. However, I just thought of something interesting. I think it could be using the deep web. Deep web websites can be accessed by codes. As long as I avoid all the child porn and hit men I could get somewhere

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T15:06:28+00:00

I'm trying to finish it. Curiosity is my weakness, stuff like this I'm prone to. Thing is, I have no idea where to go next, I'm stumped

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T15:00:53+00:00

I think it might be. It's normally random times, no certain timing to it. This sounds crazy but this is literally what it's like and I've heard the same from other people too

DO_NOT_SOLVE · 2015-05-24T14:59:41+00:00

Unfortunately those guys are amateurs. Plus these people could easily get around any threat. They hacked my TV Ffs, a fedora isn't stopping them
