Challenge: A Message Within A Message <--- Legacy :-)

General

I’m having trouble with two questions, one question about the key.I assume it’s about file “*.txt”. <— If I’m wrong, please tell me :slight_smile:

The answer needs “8 characters” and this I have entered unsuccessfully:
Vigenere
Encoding
Rotation
reorders
sentence
… and others that do not meet the length :slight_smile:

Any clues? character with which the answer begins?

The other question is about the encrypted message, it is in “Latin”.

When I try to decipher it (with the tool) he asks me for a key. I thought the key was the solution to question 1 but no … it doesn’t work for me… I even put words of the same riddle without success :frowning: <— If I’m wrong, please tell me :slight_smile:

The answer needs “2 characters” + “7 characters” + “14 characters” and the phrase should be in Latin.

Any clues? Character with which the answer begins (If possible for each of the 3 parts)?

Thank you very much for any information :slight_smile:

Nothing…
Zero help/tip :frowning:

Unfortunately we don’t have any internal documentation on this Challenge - as is the case with most of the legacy Challenges. If you believe it’s unsolvable in its current form, I can go ahead and deactivate it.

That said, I can share that the expected answer to Question 2 is “reversed”

5

The answer (2) does work!!

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Don’t turn it off (the challenge)… someday the answer will come out :slight_smile:

Now only 1 remains to be solved :slight_smile:

With the answer to question 2:
EVERYTHING must be used.

It’s just a guess… The key must be hidden inside the text (introduction image or text to download or even the name of the file with extension… There’s a trick I haven’t seen :slight_smile: )

CHALLENGE solved :slight_smile:

Hint:
With the answer to question 2, practically that help is what is needed to solve question 4.

Now I see that it wasn’t that hard :slight_smile:

Bonus:
—> first character is “L” and last character is “E” :slight_smile:
