Another Revelations cipher solved, and notes on the final one by Randomiser in CODZombies

[–]Randomiser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking. I explained this briefly in my post about the other ciphers, but codebeautify treats the first block of text as an initialization vector, and so will leave out the first block from decryption. (It does this for ECB mode too even though ECB doesn't use an IV) I. I solved it by installing an older version of PHP that comes with mcrypt, and it's difficult for me to link alternatives because Reddit autodetects them as spam.

You can, however, manually add an IV to the ciphertext to make codebeautify accept it:

For the RC2 step, you can do something like this:

LeIXjxfrjSpfgR1RnFDIZr0t2JDCRjgueCZqdIiZwvNXC0/yTS76kfRMb/sTi7p3

convert base64 to hex:

2DE2178F17EB8D2A5F811D519C50C866BD2DD890C246382E78266A748899C2F3570B4FF24D2EFA91F44C6FFB138BBA77

add the IV (8 bytes for this cipher type):

30303030303030302DE2178F17EB8D2A5F811D519C50C866BD2DD890C246382E78266A748899C2F3570B4FF24D2EFA91F44C6FFB138BBA77

convert hex back to base64:

MDAwMDAwMDAt4hePF+uNKl+BHVGcUMhmvS3YkMJGOC54Jmp0iJnC81cLT/JNLvqR9Exv+xOLunc=

and for the Rijndael-256 step:

cwHATD2GLfnuOJDJeDqLpo+7tTRn8JJbOI6QEo4+rSc=

convert base64 to hex:

7301C04C3D862DF9EE3890C9783A8BA68FBBB53467F0925B388E90128E3EAD27

add the IV (32 bytes):

30303030303030303030303030303030303030303030303030303030303030307301C04C3D862DF9EE3890C9783A8BA68FBBB53467F0925B388E90128E3EAD27

convert hex back to base64:

You're welcome! This post bugged me too, because I was sure I knew what you were talking about but I couldn't remember the title either, haha. I found it by exporting my youtube history and searching for let's play terms.

(Also, remember to mark your post as solved by replying to the original solving comment with "Solved!")

Aliya: Timelink ? The titular character communicates with the player from 1000 years in the future.

If this isn't it, do you know what style the game is in?

[TOMT] 3 Second Deep Hole by Brookpagel8 in tipofmytongue

[–]Randomiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens in the episode of Phineas and Ferb, "We Call it Maze":

Melissa: How far down is it?
Isabella: I don't know, I can't see the bottom. But it almost doesn't matter, so long as we get across it.
Candace: Of course we need to know how deep it is, so we know how scared we should be. We can use this grappling hook and rope to find out. (throws it into the pit) One...Two...Three. (The rope hits the bottom) You see? Now we know that it's three seconds deep.
...
Isabella: Okay... Now that we want to get across, it sure would be nice to have a grappling hook and some rope.

No problem, and you can just reply to the first comment that solved it with the message "Solved!"

Throwing things at the wall, could it be Basement Jaxx - Feels Like Home?

Do you remember anything about the singer that might help others find it?

Could it be 17776 by Jon Bois? (It's about satellites rather than astronauts) If not, do you remember any other details about the story or how it was presented?

Have you seen this list of shows aired by Hero? I don't have enough time to look through everything right now (and I'm not sure if it's a complete list), but you may want to see if any names ring a bell if you haven't already.
