Glad you are un-stumped, but did you get to the end?

RR Puzzle #2 "Switches":
Some of the same ideas as the last one. You come to a step, and then have to figure out what technique I used to encode the rest of the data. [spoiler=Starting string] Code: 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 The final solution of the puzzle provides a super easy way to prove to me that you figured it out. [spoiler=Hints to previous puzzle] #a is a slight hint, whereas #b is a big hint, c being even bigger hint. All talking about the same thing. [spoiler=1a] Think about V-Mans previous puzzles[/spoiler] [spoiler=1b] Start off by unencoding using base 64, and then un-gziping the included file[/spoiler] [spoiler=2a] You know what technique I used here, the hard part is recognizing it[/spoiler] [spoiler=2b] l, s, and b all stand for something. Simple replacement should get it into something recognizable. In the private forums, I posted a song that had some relevance[/spoiler] [spoiler=2c] Beginning of Glitter Freeze[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Previous puzzle solution (to almost final step) in python] [code=Python] ss = """H4sICJtEElAC/3NhbW15AMtRKC5WyAGhnBwgE4iBHCAuVkgCcYGCQDaQVwwngbIg9WA9AG361Tw+AAA A""" import base64 s2 = base64.b64decode(ss) f = open('d.gz', 'wb') f.write(s2) f.close() import gzip f = gzip.open('d.gz', 'rb') s3 = f.read() s3 = s3.replace('l', '-') s3 = s3.replace('s', '.') s3 = s3.replace('b', '/') print s3 [/code] [/spoiler] |
