A peine [s]le sont ils deposes sur les planches que ces rois de l'azur maladroits et honteux laissent piteusement leurs grandes ailes blanches comme des avirons trainer a cote d'eux. Ce voyageur aile comme il est gauche et veule lui naguere si beau, qu'il est comique et laid. L'[u]an agace son bec avec un brûle gueule, l'autre mime en boitant l'infirme qui volait le poete est semblable au prince des nuees qui hante la tempète et se rit de l'archer [baudelaire] exile sur le sol au milieu des huées. [ Le mot pour [l']étage quatre est Trajan. ] Ses ailes de géant l'empêchent de marcher. [ Le mot pour [l']étage quatre est Trajan. ]

  31. OthelloNeutron Equator Trajan Illiad Molybdenum Stage 6 - Solution This stage is number six and it is a playfair cipher. The following stage is number seven within the context of this competition and it is encrypted according to an ADFGVX type cipher. When you attempt to cryptanalyse stage seven you will see that it is more complicated than a straight forward ADFGVX cipher. Unfortunately I can not give you any more clues. In terms of this stage the shibboleth that you should take note of is molybdenum. You will probably have noticed by now that each stage is in a different cipher and is usually in an appropriate language. So the Vigenere stage was in French and this playfair stage is in English. If the pattern persists then the next stage will be in German. But does the pattern persist?

  48. OthelloNeutron Equator Trajan Illiad Molybdenum Edison Pluto Armstrong Stage 9 - Cleartext Excerpt from Othello, Act 5, scene 2 (William Shakespeare) ==================================== O! cursed, cursed slave. Whip me, ye devils, From the possession of this heavenly sight! Blow me about in winds! roast me in sulphur! Wash me in steep-down gulfs of liquid fire! O Desdemona! Desdemona! dead! Only one more phase to go. Your token for this one is "Armstrong". The final hurdle contains two ciphertexts. The longer one is encrypted with triple-DES in electronic code book mode. It uses a 128-bit EDE key. The RSA public key cryptosystem has been used to encipher the triple-DES key; this forms the shorter ciphertext. The public exponent is 3735928559 in decimal and the public modulus is the following 155-digit decimal integer: 10742 78829 12665 65907 17841 12799 42116 61266 39217 94753 29458 88778 17210 35546 41509 80121 87903 38329 26235 28109 07506 72083 50494 19964 33143 42555 83344 01855 80898 94268 92463. Your task is to decipher the longer message and so discover the final code word. How you do this is up to you, but it will almost certainly be much, much easier to break the RSA ciphertext by factoring the public modulus than by any other approach. Good luck!
