Extrinix:

I have two easter eggs on my profile. One is easy to find, the other is not so much (if you aren't into CS). Clue for Easter Egg #1 (easy): I project what I read, for you need to take a closer look to see what I see. Clue for Easter Egg #2 (medium): Work from the end, for I must be 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗱 in order to reveal myself once again.

tbh this is an interesting puzzle, and I believe that his bio is encrypted several times in Base64...

Not just

I do see Base16 there, if I'm not wrong...

Aratox:

Ah, I now get it. 1 Base64 decryption of the string in your profile, which is `NTYzMjQ2Nzk0OTQ3NkM3QTQ5NDg0MjZDNTk1NzRFNkM0QzY3MzA0QjUyNkU0QTZDNUE1NzUyNzY2MjUzNDI3MDYzNzk0MjdBNjI0NzQ2MzI1QTU4NEEzNTRDNjczMDRCNTM1NzY0NzU2MjMzNEE2ODYyNkQ0RTZDNDk0NzZDN0E0OTQ4NEUzMDYzNkQ1Njc1NUEzMzUyNkY0QzY3MzA0QjQ0NTE3MDU4NjE0NzM4Njc2MTU4NEQ2NzY0NDc2ODZDNDk0ODQ2MzE2MjMzNTI2QzQ5NDc0QTM1NTA3NzNEM0Q=` (when decrypted it returns a hex code, aka Base16), and then you must decrypt that once more using Base64, which returns the following quote: `War is peace.` `Freedom is slavery.` `Ignorance is strength.` `Who is the quote by?` This quote is from George Orwell's novel '1984'.

Extrinix:

Congrats Ara :)

Aratox:

I believe that's one down, one more to go...

I sleep walk and from the candy next to my bed, I think I got them out and put my glasses in there

sllo:

Do u have to decode the stuff in your bio??

Extrinix:

Yes

sllo:

Okay can I use an online python compiler?

Extrinix:

Go for it ig

sllo:

Okay so The output from the third base64 encoding, Gave me this Final encoded result: WlZjNVJXRklVa3BhYldnd1V6QlNiMlJGYkcxaFNGSktVa1YwZFdWVlVtOWtSV3Q2WVVoU1NsbDZNRDA9 === Code Execution Successful ===

Extrinix:

Lol, I assume you were encoding it instead of decoding

Oh gotcha, this kinda feels like something from Ready Player One

Aratox:

Uh oh... has James found something on Ext's profile? He's viewing this πŸ˜₯

Extrinix:

I'll give you a second hint, https://questioncove.com/assets/

Aratox:

@extrinix if there's an asset that includes the string in your bio, this is what I got:

1 attachment
Extrinix:

Lol incorrect. Look for things that use assets directory, that's all I'll say :)

well then, guess it's time to make a C++ script that sorts through QC asset URIs until it finds what you're talking about

Extrinix:

Just look in inspect

my brother, not that :skull: In my profile, look at links, not that hard

bro thinks he the riddler

adrianluvvsyouu2:

Decode in base64 first and you get hexadecimal which decodes to base64 Damn this takes a long time I don't want to do this anymore

adrianluvvsyouu2:

Is the easter egg the cat with the santa hat?

adrianluvvsyouu2:

And the code is the 1984 society motto
