  玛雅语中“钥匙”的词不是玛雅语，它是加密密钥，好的，好的，别激动。

[11:18] uh key to what remember the subreddit was full of post with encrypted titles it was determined that they were encoded with a visionaire cipher which is another letter Shi encryption technique.
  呃，钥匙是什么？还记得那个子版块里充满了加密标题的帖子吗？它被确定是用维吉尼亚密码编码的，这是一种字母移位加密技术。

[11:28] visionaire cipher which is another letter Shi encryption technique visionaire encoded text needs a key the string of letters made from the Maya numbers was that key.
  维吉尼亚密码，这是一种字母移位加密技术。维吉尼亚加密文本需要一个密钥，由玛雅数字组成的字母串就是那个密钥。

[11:34] without the key decoding a visionaire encrypted message is almost impossible even with the key.
  没有密钥，解码维吉尼亚加密消息几乎是不可能的，即使有了密钥。

[11:39] it would take a long time and if you miss just one letter you end up with meaningless texts.
  这需要很长时间，如果你漏掉一个字母，你就会得到无意义的文本。

[11:45] so your translation has to be perfect but there's no reason to do it manually it takes a lot of processing power.
  所以你的翻译必须是完美的，但没有理由手动进行，这需要大量的处理能力。

[11:51] but computers can eventually guess most visionaire keys but if you already have the key computers can easily decode the message.
  但计算机最终可以猜出大多数维吉尼亚密钥，但如果你已经有了密钥，计算机就可以轻松解码消息。

[11:59] there even websites to help you do this the decoded text was from Thomas bullfinch's mythology.
  甚至还有网站可以帮助你做到这一点，解码后的文本来自托马斯·布尔芬奇的《神话学》。

[12:03] this was a classic work based on the tales of King Arthur the knights the round table and their hunt for the Holy Grail.
  这是一部经典著作，基于亚瑟王、圆桌骑士及其寻找圣杯的传说。

[12:09] so now the solvers knew the book that was needed to decode the book Cipher but this time it
  所以现在解谜者知道了需要解码书籍密码的书，但这次是

[12:14] decode the book Cipher but this time it wasn't a message or a web page or an image.
  解码这本书的密码，但这次它不是一条消息、一个网页或一张图片。

[12:16] it wasn't a message or a web page or an image it was a phone number.
  它不是一条消息、一个网页或一张图片，而是一个电话号码。

[12:23] at first people thought cicada 3301 was just an online troll pumping out puzzles to waste everyone's time.
  起初，人们认为 Cicada 3301 只是一个在线巨魔，发布谜题来浪费大家的时间。

[12:28] but there was just too much work put into it.
  但其中付出的努力实在太多了。

[12:31] whoever was behind the puzzles was someone with computer skills and advanced knowledge in cryptography.
  无论谁在这些谜题背后，都拥有计算机技能和先进的密码学知识。

[12:36] so the duck image led to a book code and a page on Reddit.
  因此，这张鸭子图片导向了一个图书密码和一个 Reddit 页面。

[12:40] and the page on Reddit led to two more images Maya numbers and the book Cipher.
  而 Reddit 页面又导向了另外两张图片：玛雅数字和图书密码。

[12:44] and the book was about King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail.
  这本书是关于亚瑟王寻找圣杯的传说。

[12:48] get on with it now we can use the book code mentioned in the out guest message from the initial image.
  继续说吧，现在我们可以使用初始图片中提到的访客消息中提到的图书密码了。

[12:57] a book code en codes each letter with two numbers the line number and the character index in the line.
  图书密码用两个数字对每个字母进行编码：行号和该行中的字符索引。

[13:03] by applying the book code to the text we get the following text string.
  通过将图书密码应用于文本，我们得到以下文本字符串。

[13:08] call us telephone number 21439 0968.
  请致电我们，电话号码是 21439 0968。

[13:14] call us when the book Cipher revealed a phone number in Austin Texas.

[13:17] revealed a phone number in Austin Texas Cod Breakers thought they'd finally learn who was behind cicada 3301.
  揭露了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的一个电话号码，破译者认为他们终于知道了 cicada 3301 背后的身份。

[13:27] very good you have done well there are three prime numbers associated with the original final. jpeg image 330 one.
  非常好，你做得很好，原始的最终 jpeg 图像 3301 与三个素数相关。

[13:38] is one of them you will have to find the other two multiply all three of these numbers together and at.com on the end to find the next step good luck.
  其中一个是，你必须找到另外两个，将这三个数字相乘，并在末尾加上 .com，以找到下一步，祝你好运。

[13:50] goodbye no answers just another clue cicada 3301 was a series of intricately woven puzzles.
  再见，没有答案，只有一个线索，cicada 3301 是一系列错综复杂的谜题。

[13:57] each puzzle got progressively more complex but future puzzles often referred back to earlier ones indicating this entire process was thought out well in advance.
  每个谜题都越来越复杂，但未来的谜题经常会回顾早期的谜题，这表明整个过程是经过深思熟虑的。

[14:06] the length of the scavenger hunt also weeded out casual participants only those with patience would continue.
  寻宝游戏的长度也淘汰了偶尔参与者，只有有耐心的人才会继续。

[14:12] it was natural selection solvers went back to the
  这是自然选择，解谜者回到了

[14:18] selection solvers went back to the original image looking for anything that would indicate a prime number out guest.
  选择求解器回到了原始图像，寻找任何能表明是质数的线索。

[14:22] revealed nothing scanning the image with Photoshop and other forensic tools also provided no help.
  扫描图像，使用Photoshop和其他取证工具，均未发现任何线索，也未提供任何帮助。

[14:27] people counted the characters and the spaces in the text.
  人们计算了文本中的字符和空格。

[14:31] they converted the characters to aski.
  他们将字符转换为ASCII。

[14:33] they ran the text through every cryptography algorithm you can think of and still nothing.
  他们将文本通过你能想到的每一种密码学算法运行，仍然一无所获。

[14:36] but like many of the cicada puzzles the answer was hidden in plain sight.
  但就像许多蝉谜一样，答案就隐藏在显眼的地方。

[14:41] the original image looks like a square but Keen observers noticed it wasn't a perfect square.
  原始图像看起来像一个正方形，但敏锐的观察者注意到它不是一个完美的正方形。

[14:46] the image was actually 509 pixels wide by 503 pixels tall.
  图像的实际尺寸是509像素宽，503像素高。

[14:53] 509 and 503 are prime numbers.
  509和503是质数。

[14:57] multiply 509 by by 503 by 3301 and you get 84514.
  将509乘以503再乘以3301，得到84514。

[15:02] 5127 adda.com just like the voicemail said.
  5127 adda.com，就像语音留言说的那样。

[15:06] and that's where we see the infamous cicada image for the first time.
  这就是我们第一次看到臭名昭著的蝉图像的地方。

[15:11] under the image was a timer and it was counting down.
  图像下方有一个计时器，它正在倒计时。

[15:13] when the countdown reached zero the timer was replaced with a list of coordinates.
  当倒计时归零时，计时器被替换为坐标列表。

[15:15] 14 locations in five.
  五个中的14个位置。

[15:21] of coordinates 14 locations in five countries all over the world with an invitation to find the location nearest you up until now the puzzles existed exclusively on the internet but now cicada 3301 was going out into the real world.
  在世界五大洲的14个地点坐标，并附有邀请，找到离你最近的地点。到目前为止，这些谜题只存在于互联网上，但现在蝉3301正在走向现实世界。

[15:38] the list of 14 locations around the world indicated that cicada 3301 was a global organization or a handful of people with the time and money to create complex puzzles and travel the globe but by taking the next round of puzzles into the real world cicada created another filter in order to move forward.
  世界各地14个地点的列表表明，蝉3301是一个全球性组织，或者是一小群有时间和金钱来创造复杂谜题并环游世界的人，但通过将下一轮谜题带入现实世界，蝉创造了另一个筛选器，以便继续前进。

[15:55] not only did you have to be excellent cryptography you had to have the means to travel to one of the locations provided and only the most committed could proceed at each of the coordinates was a poster containing the cicada image and a QR code scanning the QR code resulted in a link to another JPEG file like before running the image through out guest revealed secret text a poem of fading death named for a
  你不仅要精通密码学，还要有能力前往提供的地点之一，只有最坚定的人才能继续前进。在每个坐标处都有一张海报，上面有蝉的图像和一个二维码。扫描二维码会得到一个指向另一个JPEG文件的链接，就像之前一样，通过out guest运行图像揭示了秘密文本，一首名为“垂死之诗”的诗，

[16:21] text a poem of fading death named for a king meant to be read only once and.
  写一首关于垂死之诗，以一位国王的名字命名，只读一次。

[16:23] king meant to be read only once and vanish alas it could not remain unseen.
  国王，只读一次，然后消失，唉，它无法保持不被看见。

[16:27] vanish alas it could not remain unseen the image also included a warning you've.
  消失，唉，它无法保持不被看见，图像还包含一个警告，你已经。

[16:30] the image also included a warning you've shared too much to this point we want.
  图像还包含一个警告，你已经分享了太多到目前为止，我们想要。

[16:32] shared too much to this point we want the best not the followers thus the.
  分享了太多到目前为止，我们想要最好的，而不是追随者，因此。

[16:36] the best not the followers thus the first few there will receive the prize.
  最好的，而不是追随者，因此，最先的几个人将获得奖品。

[16:38] first few there will receive the prize good luck luck.
  最先的几个人将获得奖品，祝你好运，好运。

[16:41] good luck luck 3301 considering the difficulty of the.
  祝你好运，好运，3301，考虑到它的难度。

[16:43] 3301 considering the difficulty of the puzzles and the Mystery surrounding them.
  3301，考虑到谜题的难度以及围绕它们的神秘性。

[16:45] puzzles and the Mystery surrounding them it was only natural that people were.
  谜题以及围绕它们的神秘性，人们谈论和分享信息是很自然的。

[16:47] it was only natural that people were talking and sharing information and.
  人们谈论和分享信息是很自然的。

[16:49] talking and sharing information and collaborating if you didn't live near.
  谈论和分享信息并合作，如果你不住在。

[16:50] collaborating if you didn't live near one of the cicada locations you almost.
  合作，如果你不住在蝉的地点之一附近，你几乎。

[16:52] one of the cicada locations you almost had no choice but to ask for help but.
  蝉的地点之一附近，你几乎别无选择，只能寻求帮助，但是。

[16:55] had no choice but to ask for help but cicada 3301 was clearly watching and if.
  别无选择，只能寻求帮助，但是蝉3301显然在观察，如果。

[16:57] cicada 3301 was clearly watching and if you got caught teaming up you'd be out.
  蝉3301显然在观察，如果你被抓到组队，你就会出局。

[17:00] you got caught teaming up you'd be out and it didn't take long to identify the.
  你被抓到组队，你就会出局，而且很快就确定了。

[17:01] and it didn't take long to identify the text referred to by the last clue it was.
  而且很快就确定了最后一个线索所指的文本，它是。

[17:04] text referred to by the last clue it was the poem Agrippa by cyberpunk novelist.
  最后一个线索所指的文本，它是赛博朋克小说家。

[17:06] the poem Agrippa by cyberpunk novelist William Gibson Agrippa is a very cicada.
  威廉·吉布森的诗《阿格里帕》，《阿格里帕》是一首非常蝉的诗。

[17:09] William Gibson Agrippa is a very cicada type of poem it was originally.

[17:11] type of poem it was originally distributed on floppy disc and after you.
  一种诗，最初分布在软盘上，在你之后。

[17:14] distributed on floppy disc and after you read the poem it encrypted itself meant.
  分布在软盘上，在你读完诗后，它就自我加密了，意思是。

[17:16] read the poem it encrypted itself meant to be read only once in F solving the.
  读完诗，它就自我加密了，意思是只读一次，在F解决。

[17:19] to be read only once in F solving the book code resulted in another URL but
  只读一次，在F解决书号导致了另一个URL，但是

[17:22] book code resulted in another URL but this one was different a DOT onion.
  书籍代码生成了另一个URL，但这个URL不同，是.onion。

[17:24] this one was different a DOT onion extension onion routing makes the data's source and destination untraceable by encrypting the data multiple times like the layers of an onion.
  这个不同，是.onion扩展名，洋葱路由通过多次加密数据，像洋葱的层一样，使数据的来源和目的地无法追踪。

[17:33] onion Pages aren't accessible with a regular web browser you need a specialized browser designed specifically to access Pages hosted on the onion router Network or tour Network in other words the dark web.
  洋葱页面无法用普通浏览器访问，你需要一个专门设计的浏览器来访问托管在洋葱路由网络或Tor网络上的页面，换句话说，就是暗网。

[17:44] tour Network in other words the dark [Music] web.
  Tor网络，换句话说，就是暗网。

[17:48] when most people think of the dark web they imagine a Place full of illegal activities a place where people can buy and sell drugs weapons and worse and it's true those things exist on the dark web but that's only a small fraction of what's there.
  当大多数人想到暗网时，他们会想象一个充满非法活动的地方，一个人们可以买卖毒品、武器甚至更糟的东西的地方，而且确实，这些东西存在于暗网，但这只是其中一小部分。

[18:02] the dark web is actually a part of the Deep Web which is all the unindexed parts of the internet including private databases email accounts and subscription services.
  暗网实际上是深网的一部分，深网是互联网所有未被索引的部分，包括私人数据库、电子邮件账户和订阅服务。

[18:12] in fact most of the data on the internet exists on the Deep Web the dark web is specifically the section of the Deep Web accessible only through specialized tools like the tour browser which makes.
  事实上，互联网上的大部分数据都存在于深网，暗网是深网中专门通过Tor浏览器等专用工具才能访问的部分，这使得。

[18:23] tools like the tour browser which makes web traffic anonymous.
  像Tor浏览器这样的工具，它能让网络流量匿名。

[18:25] Before it was made public, tour was used by the US Navy to secure government communication.
  在Tor公开之前，美国海军曾使用它来保护政府通信。

[18:29] Later it became a beacon for privacy advocates and anyone looking to shield their online activity from prying eyes.
  后来，它成为了隐私倡导者以及任何希望保护其在线活动免受窥探的人们的灯塔。

[18:36] Not just criminals though, journalists use the dark web to communicate with activists in oppressive countries.
  不仅仅是罪犯，记者也使用暗网与压迫性国家的活动家进行沟通。

[18:42] Whistleblowers have used the dark web to remain anonymous.
  举报人曾使用暗网来保持匿名。

[18:46] If you want to remain anonymous and untraceable, you go to the dark web.
  如果你想保持匿名且无法追踪，你就去暗网。

[18:50] It's only natural that a group like Cicada 3301 would end up there.
  像Cicada 3301这样的组织最终出现在那里是很自然的。

[18:53] So Cicada solvers who made it this far typed the onion link into their tour browser and were greeted with the following message:
  因此，那些坚持到这里的Cicada解谜者将洋葱链接输入到他们的Tor浏览器中，并收到了以下消息：

[19:01] Congratulations! Please create a new email address with a public, free, web-based service you've never used before and enter it below.

[19:29] first time time that cicada would communicate directly with people very
  第一次，蝉将直接与人沟通，很少有人能成功

[19:31] communicate directly with people very few made the cut but those that did
  但那些成功的人几天后收到了一封电子邮件

[19:33] few made the cut but those that did received an email a few days later this
  这个消息只会显示一次

  这里有一个用RSA加密的消息

[19:39] message will only be displayed once here is a message that has been encrypted
  加密的消息是一个数字

  破解解密密钥，然后回到同一个URL并输入解密后的消息以继续

[19:43] with RSA the encrypted message is a number break the decryption key then
  到目前为止的每个人都收到了一个用唯一密钥加密的唯一消息

[19:46] number break the decryption key then come back to the same URL and enter the
  您不得合作，分享您的消息或密钥将导致您收不到下一步，祝您好运

[19:49] come back to the same URL and enter the decrypted message to continue each
  祝您好运 3301 祝您好运，因为每个参与者都被分配了一个唯一的数字，蝉 3301 能够追踪谁在分享信息

[19:51] decrypted message to continue each person who has come this far has
  如果您被抓到，您将被淘汰

[21:26] a the music was encoded as a midi file midi is music expressed as code

[21:29] midi is music expressed as code it was found that there were two tracks

[21:30] it was found that there were two tracks that provided two different messages

[21:32] that provided two different messages each message had fewer than 26

[21:34] each message had fewer than 26 combinations of pitch and tone which

[21:36] combinations of pitch and tone which hinted that each combination could

[21:38] hinted that each combination could represent one letter the music was

[21:40] represent one letter the music was decoded into a cryptogram which could

[21:42] decoded into a cryptogram which could then be

[21:43] then be broken very good very good you have

[21:46] broken very good very good you have proven to be most dedicated to come this

[22:43] this one hello thank you all now 3301 and just as cryptically as the

[22:46] 3301 and just as cryptically as the cicada puzzle started it finally ended

[22:49] cicada puzzle started it finally ended it was assumed that the mysterious group

[22:50] it was assumed that the mysterious group whoever they were finally found the

[22:52] whoever they were finally found the highly intelligent individuals it needed

[22:55] highly intelligent individuals it needed cicada 3301 stopped posting messages and

[22:57] cicada 3301 stopped posting messages and was largely forgot en but a year and a

[23:00] was largely forgot en but a year and a day after the first puzzle was posted

[23:02] day after the first puzzle was posted cicada 3301 was

[23:09] back cicada was quiet for a year but on

[23:13] back cicada was quiet for a year but on January 5th a new image was posted to

[23:16] January 5th a new image was posted to forchan hello again our search for

[23:19] forchan hello again our search for intelligent individuals now continues

[23:21] intelligent individuals now continues hello again the first clue is hidden

[23:23] hello again the first clue is hidden within this image find it and it will

[23:26] within this image find it and it will lead you on the road to finding us we

[23:28] lead you on the road to finding us we look forward to meeting the few that

[23:30] look forward to meeting the few that will make it all the way through good

[23:32] will make it all the way through good luck luck

[23:34] luck luck 3301 like before running the image

[23:36] 3301 like before running the image throughout guest led to a book code

[23:38] throughout guest led to a book code which led to a URL which led to a file a

[23:41] which led to a URL which led to a file a large

[23:42] large file this file was its own mini

[23:45] file this file was its own mini operating

[23:49] system when you booted it up it

[23:51] system when you booted it up it displayed the prime numbers up to 3301

[23:54] displayed the prime numbers up to 3301 and then restarted the computer it would

[23:55] and then restarted the computer it would do this indefinitely but there was also

[23:58] do this indefinitely but there was also a message within the numbers the key is

[24:00] a message within the numbers the key is all around you good luck

[24:04] all around you good luck 3301 those numbers led to a Twitter

[24:06] 3301 those numbers led to a Twitter account that was posting tons of

[24:08] account that was posting tons of encrypted text that nobody could

[24:11] encrypted text that nobody could decode but on the mini operating system

[24:13] decode but on the mini operating system someone realized that you could break

[24:15] someone realized that you could break the boot sequence and browse the file

[24:17] the boot sequence and browse the file system in one of the folders there was a

[24:19] system in one of the folders there was a song This Time an MP3 file

[24:29] according to the ID tags the title of

[24:31] according to the ID tags the title of the file was the instar emergence

[24:34] the file was the instar emergence solvers tried all sorts of techniques on

[24:36] solvers tried all sorts of techniques on this file to search for hidden meanings

[24:38] this file to search for hidden meanings they played it backwards they isolated

[24:40] they played it backwards they isolated frequencies they even ran the sound

[24:42] frequencies they even ran the sound through spectral analyzers but they

[24:44] through spectral analyzers but they found nothing there were hidden messages

[24:47] found nothing there were hidden messages and odd mini poems all over the place

[24:49] and odd mini poems all over the place but nothing seemed connected then

[24:51] but nothing seemed connected then someone determined that the messages

[24:53] someone determined that the messages from the Twitter feed were actually

[24:55] from the Twitter feed were actually lines of binary code which could be

[24:57] lines of binary code which could be assembled into a file but it was

[24:59] assembled into a file but it was encrypted and nobody could figure out

[25:01] encrypted and nobody could figure out how to decode it it turned out that the

[25:04] how to decode it it turned out that the messages were encoded with the binary

[25:06] messages were encoded with the binary data from another file as the key that

[25:09] data from another file as the key that file was the

[25:15] [Music]

[25:17] [Music] song So using the song the Twitter data

[25:20] song So using the song the Twitter data was decrypted into an

[25:22] was decrypted into an image a rune table the Run table image

[25:26] image a rune table the Run table image also contained secret text which led to

[25:28] also contained secret text which led to more puzzles which led to the dark web

[25:30] more puzzles which led to the dark web and to more posters around the world

[25:32] and to more posters around the world with different coordinates in order to

[25:34] with different coordinates in order to move forward from here you need to have

[25:36] move forward from here you need to have solved every puzzle so far now on the

[25:38] solved every puzzle so far now on the posters there were phone numbers and

[25:40] posters there were phone numbers and each phone number required an access

[25:42] each phone number required an access code that You' decipher using the room

[25:44] code that You' decipher using the room table once you got past the access code

[25:47] table once you got past the access code a computerized voice then read you a

[25:48] a computerized voice then read you a string of letters and numbers which

[25:50] string of letters and numbers which turned out to be a hex code and then the

[25:53] turned out to be a hex code and then the hex code converted to a page on the dark

[25:55] hex code converted to a page on the dark web which had a test for you to take

[25:59] web which had a test for you to take there were 19 questions in total some

[26:01] there were 19 questions in total some mathematical some logical some

[26:03] mathematical some logical some philosophical very few people made it

[26:05] philosophical very few people made it past this test but those that did

[26:08] past this test but those that did received an email

[26:10] received an email congratulations your testing has finally

[26:12] congratulations your testing has finally come to an end congratulations we hope

[26:14] come to an end congratulations we hope you have enjoyed the vacation over the

[26:16] you have enjoyed the vacation over the last few weeks you will be very busy now

[26:19] last few weeks you will be very busy now should you choose to join us you have

[26:21] should you choose to join us you have all wondered who we are and so we shall

[26:23] all wondered who we are and so we shall now tell you we are an international

[26:25] now tell you we are an international groupal group we have no name have no

[26:27] groupal group we have no name have no name are drawn together by Common

[26:29] name are drawn together by Common beliefs that tyranny and oppression of

[26:32] beliefs that tyranny and oppression of any kind must end that censorship is

[26:35] any kind must end that censorship is wrong and that privacy is an inalienable

[26:38] wrong and that privacy is an inalienable right cicada 3301 was pretty well known

[26:41] right cicada 3301 was pretty well known by now and was being connected to hacker

[26:43] by now and was being connected to hacker groups and this was addressed in that

[26:45] groups and this was addressed in that email we do not engage in illegal

[26:48] email we do not engage in illegal activity nor do our members if you are

[26:51] activity nor do our members if you are engaged in illegal activity we ask that

[26:54] engaged in illegal activity we ask that you cease any and all illegal activities

[26:57] you cease any and all illegal activities or decline membership at this time we

[27:00] or decline membership at this time we will not ask questions if you decline

[27:02] will not ask questions if you decline however if you lie to us we will find

[27:05] however if you lie to us we will find out but the big question was why what

[27:08] out but the big question was why what does cicada 3301 even do we are much

[27:11] does cicada 3301 even do we are much like a think tank in that our primary

[27:14] like a think tank in that our primary focus is on researching and developing

[27:24] security and if you choose to accept membership we are happy to have you on

[27:26] membership we are happy to have you on board to help with future projects

[27:29] board to help with future projects security so that was it cicada 3301

[27:32] security so that was it cicada 3301 found a few more recruits and went dark

[27:34] found a few more recruits and went dark but the following January people eagerly

[27:36] but the following January people eagerly waited to see if cicada would return and

[27:39] waited to see if cicada would return and they did not

[27:40] they did not [Music]

[27:46] [Music] disappoint after being inactive for a

[27:49] disappoint after being inactive for a year in January 2014 the cic Twitter

[27:52] year in January 2014 the cic Twitter account tweeted a link to a new

[28:03] luck Enlightenment awaits hello good luck

[28:05] luck 3301 during the time cicada was quiet

[28:08] 3301 during the time cicada was quiet there were lots of fake puzzles floating

[28:10] there were lots of fake puzzles floating around claiming to be from cicada 3301

[28:13] around claiming to be from cicada 3301 and they all turned out to be fakes but

[28:15] and they all turned out to be fakes but running this new image throughout guests

[28:17] running this new image throughout guests revealed a new message that proved to be

[28:19] revealed a new message that proved to be authentic cicada 3301 was back and they

[28:22] authentic cicada 3301 was back and they followed their familiar format they

[28:24] followed their familiar format they embedded messages and images that could

[28:25] embedded messages and images that could be extracted without guests these images

[28:28] be extracted without guests these images led to more clues on various web pages

[28:30] led to more clues on various web pages and the dark web and a new piece of

[28:32] and the dark web and a new piece of music was also discovered this one was

[28:34] music was also discovered this one was called

[28:36] called [Music]

[28:50] [Music] interconnectedness using some familiar

[28:52] interconnectedness using some familiar techniques as well as some new ones

[28:54] techniques as well as some new ones cicada solvers concluded that cicada was

[28:57] cicada solvers concluded that cicada was focusing on on a single

[29:00] focusing on on a single document it's called the Liber premise

[29:02] document it's called the Liber premise or first book as more puzzles were

[29:04] or first book as more puzzles were solved more pages of Libra primis were

[29:07] solved more pages of Libra primis were uncovered the book was written using the

[29:09] uncovered the book was written using the runes found in earlier puzzles but the

[29:11] runes found in earlier puzzles but the solution to every puzzle seemed to be a

[29:13] solution to every puzzle seemed to be a clue to yet another puzzle people went

[29:16] clue to yet another puzzle people went back to the music file they found more

[29:18] back to the music file they found more clues from image files they extracted

[29:20] clues from image files they extracted more codes and more puzzles like magic

[29:22] more codes and more puzzles like magic squares and

[29:24] squares and anagrams all of those were decoded to

[29:26] anagrams all of those were decoded to reveal strange poems which were nothing

[29:28] reveal strange poems which were nothing more than more clues Libra primis is 59

[29:31] more than more clues Libra primis is 59 pages and only a handful have been

[29:33] pages and only a handful have been solved and the pages that are solved are

[29:35] solved and the pages that are solved are still mysterious January 2015 came and

[29:38] still mysterious January 2015 came and went with nothing from cicada some

[29:40] went with nothing from cicada some people speculated that cicada had enough

[29:42] people speculated that cicada had enough recruits for whatever it was they were

[29:44] recruits for whatever it was they were doing others thought that cicada would

[29:46] doing others thought that cicada would stay silent until all of Libra primis

[29:49] stay silent until all of Libra primis was solved and they could be right in

[29:51] was solved and they could be right in January 2016 cicada tweeted a link to a

[29:54] January 2016 cicada tweeted a link to a new image running the image throughout

[29:56] new image running the image throughout guest proved it was auth authentic hello

[29:59] guest proved it was auth authentic hello hello the path lies empty Epiphany seeks

[30:02] hello the path lies empty Epiphany seeks the devoted Libra pris is the way it's

[30:06] the devoted Libra pris is the way it's words are the map their meaning is the

[30:07] words are the map their meaning is the road and their numbers are the direction

[30:10] road and their numbers are the direction the devoted seek and you will be found

[30:12] the devoted seek and you will be found you will be found good luck you will be

[30:14] you will be found good luck you will be 3301 beware false paths many speculated

[30:18] 3301 beware false paths many speculated that their numbers are the direction was

[30:20] that their numbers are the direction was the major clue but still no progress was

[30:23] the major clue but still no progress was made in 2017 a user stumbled across a

[30:26] made in 2017 a user stumbled across a message from cicada in Google's C pages

[30:28] message from cicada in Google's C pages that nobody had noticed beware false

[30:31] that nobody had noticed beware false paths always verify pgp signature

[30:36] paths always verify pgp signature 3301 and that was the last anyone heard

[30:38] 3301 and that was the last anyone heard from cicada 3301 it's been a few years

[30:42] from cicada 3301 it's been a few years with no solution to Libra primis and no

[30:44] with no solution to Libra primis and no further contact from cicada this was

[30:46] further contact from cicada this was disappointing to a lot of people after

[30:49] disappointing to a lot of people after all this over several years we were

[30:51] all this over several years we were still no closer to finding out who

[30:53] still no closer to finding out who cicada 3301 was or what they did but

[30:56] cicada 3301 was or what they did but Liber primis was the thir Quest the

[30:59] Liber primis was the thir Quest the first two were solved and the people who

[31:01] first two were solved and the people who solved them they started

[31:03] solved them they started [Music]

[31:07] talking when that first image appeared

[31:09] talking when that first image appeared on 4chan looking for highly intelligent

[31:12] on 4chan looking for highly intelligent individuals the chase was on the

[31:14] individuals the chase was on the mysterious group known as 3301 presented

[31:17] mysterious group known as 3301 presented Clues and challenges that thousands of

[31:19] Clues and challenges that thousands of techies and puzzle solvers found

[31:21] techies and puzzle solvers found impossible to resist each Mystery became

[31:24] impossible to resist each Mystery became more complex the clues that connected

[31:26] more complex the clues that connected Julius Caesar and King Arthur to

[31:28] Julius Caesar and King Arthur to cryptography were genius and easy enough

[31:30] cryptography were genius and easy enough to solve that people became hooked the

[31:32] to solve that people became hooked the solutions that led to phone numbers and

[31:34] solutions that led to phone numbers and Geographic coordinates made the search

[31:36] Geographic coordinates made the search even more real but over time it became

[31:39] even more real but over time it became clear that 3301 was looking for a

[31:41] clear that 3301 was looking for a specific type of person to solve cicada

[31:43] specific type of person to solve cicada you needed knowledge of the concepts and

[31:45] you needed knowledge of the concepts and the tools used in encryption you had to

[31:47] the tools used in encryption you had to have computer skills understand

[31:49] have computer skills understand operating systems and be handy with

[31:51] operating systems and be handy with programming it also didn't hurt if you

[31:53] programming it also didn't hurt if you had expertise in mind numerology and

[31:55] had expertise in mind numerology and pre-christian literature yeah who

[31:56] pre-christian literature yeah who doesn't but who was cicada a popular

[32:00] doesn't but who was cicada a popular theory was that this was a recruiting

[32:02] theory was that this was a recruiting effort for a government intelligence

[32:03] effort for a government intelligence agency like CIA NSA or MI6 there was

[32:07] agency like CIA NSA or MI6 there was plenty of precedent for that during the

[32:09] plenty of precedent for that during the second world war the top secret

[32:11] second world war the top secret government code and Cipher School used

[32:13] government code and Cipher School used crossword puzzles printed in the Daily

[32:15] crossword puzzles printed in the Daily Telegraph to identify good candidates

[32:17] Telegraph to identify good candidates for Bletchley Park those recruits along

[32:19] for Bletchley Park those recruits along with Alan touring went on to solve the

[32:21] with Alan touring went on to solve the Enigma machine which helped the Allies

[32:23] Enigma machine which helped the Allies win the war NSA and CIA ran similar

[32:26] win the war NSA and CIA ran similar contests over the years companies like

[32:28] contests over the years companies like Google and Microsoft have also used

[32:30] Google and Microsoft have also used cryptography and puzzles to recruit but

[32:33] cryptography and puzzles to recruit but one of the early winners said cicada was

[32:35] one of the early winners said cicada was none of these after solving the final

[32:38] none of these after solving the final round of puzzles in 2013 he received an

[32:40] round of puzzles in 2013 he received an email with a username and password along

[32:43] email with a username and password along with a site address on the dark web the

[32:45] with a site address on the dark web the site had two parts a message board and a

[32:48] site had two parts a message board and a chat room The Message Board had various

[32:50] chat room The Message Board had various topics including a welcome section and

[32:52] topics including a welcome section and an area for cicada's goals and current

[32:54] an area for cicada's goals and current projects the chat room had about 20

[32:57] projects the chat room had about 20 members according to a couple of the

[32:59] members according to a couple of the winners cicada wanted to further the use

[33:01] winners cicada wanted to further the use of cryptography so more people would

[33:03] of cryptography so more people would have access to Internet privacy cicada

[33:06] have access to Internet privacy cicada had some big goals but in the short term

[33:08] had some big goals but in the short term they wanted to recruit highly technical

[33:10] they wanted to recruit highly technical people to develop open- Source

[33:12] people to develop open- Source cryptography software oh that to find

[33:14] cryptography software oh that to find people to write free software yep and I

[33:16] people to write free software yep and I think this was cicada's big mistake the

[33:18] think this was cicada's big mistake the recruits didn't want to write software

[33:20] recruits didn't want to write software they wanted to solve puzzles and when

[33:22] they wanted to solve puzzles and when the puzzle stopped the membership

[33:24] the puzzle stopped the membership dwindled there were spikes in membership

[33:26] dwindled there were spikes in membership when new challenges appeared but it was

[33:28] when new challenges appeared but it was the same story the winners weren't

[33:29] the same story the winners weren't interested in writing software they

[33:31] interested in writing software they weren't driven by ideology they didn't

[33:33] weren't driven by ideology they didn't care about politics they just wanted to

[33:35] care about politics they just wanted to solve puzzles the same thing happens

[33:37] solve puzzles the same thing happens when NSA CIA gchq and other intelligence

[33:41] when NSA CIA gchq and other intelligence organizations do recruitment drives many

[33:44] organizations do recruitment drives many of the winners are offered positions in

[33:45] of the winners are offered positions in one of these agencies and many of them

[33:47] one of these agencies and many of them refuse they don't want to work in

[33:49] refuse they don't want to work in government yeah they're too smart to

[33:50] government yeah they're too smart to work in government well that might be

[33:52] work in government well that might be part of it but really they just want to

[33:54] part of it but really they just want to solve puzzles whenever you achieve a
