Is there any chats I can get in? Really interested in ciphers but cant seem to rack my head around the descriptions online :D

@Tac May you try to add the punctuation for the two solved ciphers you posted (Pablo and the King)?

Some sentences got me confused ;o

I actually really liked this video! Whiteboards are my fave!

 

Anyways, when I saw you write it out like this, it made me think back to something @oxin8 made I believe. The X's could represent a letter from one of the rows at top. I think this is actually not a bad idea now that I see it like this. So we may get some word or small phrase that could be pretty good?

If i understand this right: you think there is more to it?

 

I didnt think so like i mentioned in the beginning the x should be fillers in the cipher

 

I watched the video - pretty nice done:

 

You could start the cipher at the end so you didnt have to read it backwards - nice work

I'll remember that for if I solve another one :D and yea could be either really, I dont think there is anything more, just indicates the person to start a new line / whatever :D

Currrentley on the short unsolved paper atm, racking my brain around it, little progress gained

At the time, I was trying to convey that the 'extra' letters were actually a key or something for the rest of it. At this point, I'm pretty sure the 'X's are just filler. That said, I wonder if there's still something to be gained from the shopping list. I know it might just be a fun thing they did but they could be hiding something in plain sight. As I've said to you before(WINDOW CIPHER! lol), I really think Treyarch is hiding more things in plain sight than we realize. It just doesn't make sense for them to hide the juiciest info on a sheet of paper they know we'll find. There's gotta be some whole cipher hiding strategies we're missing.

 

That said, I'm not going to pursue the shopping list further in the near future. There's bigger fish to fry.

OP has been updated. If you all could go through and help me identify/put into words the code types for a chunk of them, that would be great.

Excellent work, guys. Truly. These ciphers being solved is nothing short of spectacular.

Shopping list = column tranposition? (@WaterKH would have a better description)

BO3 bios = one time pad? (same as above)

Roman numerals = "ASCII values as Roman Numerals"

Tac's 11 Hour Skype Call Cipher = "Assembly code(MASM)" (it would be nice to determine the actual decoding method the program uses but it also doesn't really matter at this point)

[Nieno69]

Bo 3 bios you could call a null cipher  - the paper found in gk is the solution/pattern 

[I4mThoR]

tried quite a few techniques on this but couldnt get that far, tried substitution, caesar and a few others, but got nothing yet. Think the 'U' ia an I and that the 'L' at the end must be an initial of somekind.

So something I saw that could help your analysis is that at the end of the first sentence we have "zw," and then a couple letters later we have "zw," again. Thus, we can use the Kalinski test to determine that the key length (If this is indeed poly, though it seems fairly justified) is 7. I've tried a lot of words though for the key, so I believe, like ZNS we may have an alphabet that is not standard.

[Nieno69]

Rc qipv jhx vld plson fhceuh itp jui gh qhzu dg sq xie dhw.U gbfl lf fluz pcag wrgkv zw, dinyg zw, qge gnvm L fhx

 

Like @WaterKH mentioned: 

You search for repeated letter (ngramm) e.g. zw

Then you count from the first z to the next z - 7 - so you should take every 7th letter and make a new frequenzy analysis

 

But there is more needed to this test  (online decoder helps for this)

 

 

But to go on: i got deeper with polyalphabetic ciphers since de and i'm pretty sure its no "normal" poly like vigenere, trithemus or beaufort 

 

E.g. from d.e.

You run the test and see the probably keylenghts

So this should clearly be a "normal" poly 

 

Key is "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" (trithemus cipher) and solution is

While the loss of the Rising Sun Facility was unfortunate, the Emperor was so impressed with our final results that he has approved the construction of the new Division 9 facility on the island we selected. He assured me personally that he will spare no expense in advancing our research. You and I both know that what we accomplish at this new facility will win the war for Japan.

So it could be something like e.g. rotor machines or other poly besides the "normal" ones

Thanks for your help, unfortunately I find it hard to learn by reading :D

[certainpersonio]

@Nieno69 Great post! I totally agree with you that this is a polyalphabetic but is not in the Vigenere family. I'm inclined to think it's a type of aperiodic cipher again, just like the Clock Tower Cipher on DE, but we'll see.

 

@I4mThoR Keep working on the ciphers! If you have questions, ask and we'll be as clear as we can :)

[certainpersonio]

@I4mThoR Thanks. If you're looking to start somewhere with your ciphers, you can try looking up more transposition ciphers. The technical name for the type of cipher you solved is a Route Transposition cipher. This cipher is also a transposition cipher, but probably not exactly the same as the one you solved:

The "Things to do" Cipher gives me a strong "stuhlinger" feeling.

I remember he was always talking about eating salad, although i am not sure how many items in the list really is for salad lol

If he consumes flesh, then saw may make sense.

Reading the book? The one in his pocket will do.

Others I am not sure. Just my first thought of this list.

[InfestLithium]

I remember when many people (like myself) thought the book Samuel was holding was Maxis' notebook, as noted at the Black Ops 2 loading screens before beginning the startup libby. It even showed a picture of the exact notebook seen in his vest.

 

Perhaps someone can find it before I do?

[Rissole25]

The diaries from Mob, Buried and Origins. Not sure if this would fit Samuel's book or not.
