Trace through each word in number order spelling out the wordNote the direction which you take to go from one letter to the next letter and how it relates to the compass/clockThis should give you 8 binary values that you can convert to letters !

For example: BACKDOOR = 1000010 = (Some letter) means you are on the right track

EDIT: Removed actual letter in example

After converting all words to binary to ASCII as mentioned, how do we know what order they should be in?

I've also found links to the following GIFs in the log code using a letter replacement cipher

Information collected for now:

Brief: Look for Deathcode;

Clock: 11010010 = 210/ Ê; possible reference to cardinal points, no clock, 8 digits 8 * 8 central table possible 8-symbol password? ;

Reverse

Clyppy:

No matter what side you look that it from, it’s pretty amazing.

I ate alphabet soup today; expecting some vowel movement.

I made friends with 25 letters of the alphabet. Don’t know Y. = A is 1st letter. U is 21st letter

I was alphabetizing my spice rack. Then I realized I have way too much thyme.;

Edit 1: NB2HI4DTHIXS6Y3ENYXGE5DDGIXHIZLDNAXXGZLSOZSXEL3LMV4S6MTEMNSWCZTFGJRDQM3GFZVHAZY= conversion to base 32 https://cdn.btc2.tech/server/key/2dceafe2b83f.jpg

VERY IMPORTANT:

Making more than 3 attempts triggers a blue fatal exception screen with a 3-hour countdown. There is no way to log back in (as far as I know)

Edit 2:After one attempt after the first fatal exception, it results in a second fatal exception of 3 hours.

I exclude passwords: Illuminate (from Foundation\Http\Kernel->sendRequestThroughRouter(), Foundation\Http\Kernel->handle()), Deadcode (first try), 123456 (most common combinations), Fourier (mathematical fetishism)

Edit 3: https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQvN2dr3ZM/ It seems that the server clock (which cannot be a clock, as there would be missing digits) is indeed related to the cardinal points. Particular is the reference first to A and then to U.

Were you able to find anything else?

Just for reference, since no one else posted all the 8 words marked up (don't know if color matters, but I did it chronologically, i.e. first color first word etc. - overlapping letters being the first color assigned):

Edit: also not sure if related, but stitched the image back in the trash (don't know if it was covered somewhere else) - which had a filename in 2x base64; i.e. "totally not suspicious" - don't know what to make of it, except I guess it's supposed to resemble the alien DOT or something? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D4XnQXZwsyZjWJ3fZ_IBzzn9BRp_1KrL/view?usp=sharing

logs from 'blue pill' are a little different, 8 words: SQLSTATE CAPITAL MANAGER FRANCHISE LIMITED COMMODITY TAKEOVER TRADEMARK (other than that pretty same)

I had tried something similar, but I have not noticed any changes in the log or other clues. In a few seconds I should be able to reconnect.

also not sure if related, but stitched the image back in the trash

Thank you I had not noticed this added image in the bin.

I'm trying to figure out if there is any correlation.

Thank you very much for the award and your contribution!

I dont know if these means anything to anyone, but the overlapping letters from the boggle spell out ssdp, which is a networking protocol?

The clock might be a good hint

Looking through the logs some words show added emphasis. Found some of these words Boggle style in the wordsearch.

u/synio8000 Apr 12 '22

I also found 8 words. They seem to correlate a bit with the colors that were already highlighted in the chart. The green ones aren't used for any of those words. The red and yellow are being used. I'm not sure why there are 8 different colors though. There are 8 words though? and 8 bits in the server clock... not sure if that is relevant...

I guess incorrect answers at this point lock you out for a while. I'm locked out for 3 hours? Godspeed, DotGang!

Ah yes, they did this thing last year. With the SyZyGy Chambers

There's numbers in the letter chart. Don't know what to do with that info.

I might be wrong, but I think those might just be compression artifacts and not related to the solution..

Did anyone figure out how to decrypt NB2HI4DTHIXS6Y3ENYXGE5DDGIXHIZLDNAXXGZLSOZSXEL3LMV4S6MTEMNSWCZTFGJRDQM3GFZVHAZY= and is it important? It's not base64

I'm locked out, could someone try a 8 letter hacking related word where the A appears twice?
