hello.

The secure tripcode will verify my identity. Watch out for fakes. Only I have this secure tripcode (it is the jumble of letters and numbers next to my name) Your only clue is "portrayal's can house dialogue." ROSE

This is interesting, "rose".

>>22876 So lain from the clue we can assume the answer is contained in either the tripcode itself or the image. I'm going to assume it's the tripcode since it seems somewhat nonrandom and the image seems uninteresting. If you want to prod at the image for steganograhpy and soykaf that might be efficient.

>22861 Im having trouble trying to figure out what this means. Guys do you have anything?

>>22861 I'm guessing the blue pixels on the top of the picture are significant.

>>22877 Well I don't think you can choose the tripcode, but you work on that and I work on the image. I will try a stegonagraphy tool on it

>>22879 Didn't spot that good point >>22878 The clue seems to suggest some part of their identity. The only things we have there are the picture, the name rose, and the code !!U.xPLfhfac so it has to be one of those.

>>22877 Ok, I figured something out. If you take the image in a stegonagraphy decoder with the password "rose" it leads to this message: >reddit user 0234ROSE1234

>>22882 >0234ROSE1234 they have a single post: key6 Euax tkdz irak corr hk vuyzkj ut znk xkjjoz giiuatz ut Pgtagxe 10zn, 2021. Muuj raiq. ​ XUYK

>>22883 key6 being the title of the post.

>>22884 So is it caesar cipher and the key is "6"?

>>22883 FOUND IT: Decoded through rot20 it gives the message: Your next clue will be posted on the reddit account on January 10th, 2021. Good luck. ROSE

>>22886 Wow. Thanks, lainon! So I guess we just have to check on the account tomorrow?

>>22887 i guess so. see y'all tomorrow.

>>22888 See ya, lainon! Thanks for the help!

>>22882 Good soykaf Lain!

>>22890 :D

>>22887 Yep, looks like we solved it in about 30 mins : )

>>22892 This first puzzle, that is. I wonder what the next one is going to be

>>22893 I want something I can program for since being the turbo of the thread and trying to decode a random tripcode isn't a great role lol

>>22894 Well I don't think you can choose your tripcode, you just have to put a name in a name slot then put two hashtags and another word that will be jumbled into a random mess. Hopefully there will be more action on the second puzzle

>>22895 Yeah that's exactly why it was a fuarrrking turbo move, I wasn't thinking well. Second one needs to be way tougher clearly.

>>22896 yeah

>>22895 Didn't read the thread, but OP used a secure tripcode, not a normal tripcode. Secure ones use a special salt (which I assume the admin has kept secret) so cracking it without spamming the site is probably infeasible. If it were a regular tripcode, it can be cracked offline but it could take a long time depending on the guessability.

>>22899 Tripcodes are used to verify identities, they are used to stop someone from impersonating them on an anonymous social media

>>22904 wait rose has been online this whole time :O
