Short Description: I don't think anyone is going to solve this even if I give a hint

Hint 1: This string has been padded. It's actually an array of numbers. Try decoding the array using lzw…

Hint 2: The word I ciphered is 10 characters
Hint 3: The word has to do with a certain guy who had a redacted. On Github, he added a commit to turn redacted into a program to follow this guy. He got banned

I think I know the guy and the redacted you're talking about. Now to solve the code.

Also, I've created the first draft of “Cyberchef URL fixer”. You may have noticed that some Cyberchef urls trip Scratch's filter. But if you go here, you can put the Cyberchef link, and it will base 64 encode the recipe.

Try it out! Get a Cyberchef URL, and put it into that project. Then paste the URL it copied and click the green flag.

Normally, the filter prevents you from using any Cyberchef recipes that use ROT thirteen or ROT forty seven because who knows. But if I put it through here, it becomes:
https://share.turbowarp.org/projects/b86b15e0-67b8-4e20-b176-4941e0dbe3eb?recipe=Uk9UMTModHJ1ZSx0cnVlLGZhbHNlLDEzKQ%3D%3D&input=WWF5LCBpdCB3b3JrcyE
That link is fine, and clicking it and then the green flag will redirect you to the normal cyber chef!

I will certainly make it less ugly soon.

I'll remix this for beepbox as well

Website to compose music, some songs falsely trip the filter tho

And because the whole song and the data are included the links are long.

Short Description: Wild goose chase.

I SOLVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Method: (it's a long one)
Take the original ciphertext. Decode it from Base64 4 times.
That provides:

1086303276 it's not over yet

Here's where it actually starts getting clever:
1086303276 is actually a Scratch project id!
Going to https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1086303276 provides a seemingly empty project. (But it's from co0lcr34t10ns' school alt so we're on the right track). But opening it in the editor reveals a single comment. That comment says:

9EEADi^^6?]D4C2E49\H:<:]:?7@^H:<:^&D6Cir@_=4CbcE`_?D^D64C6E

This is actually pretty simple. Decode from ROT-47.
That provides:

https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/User:Co0lcr34t10ns/secret

Going to that webpage gives this:

Evp hwwo uzzgp nvlds td oneilwzj zjpc. Bz xccp hctqvd.

which can be decoded with Vigenere “lol”.
That gives:

The wild goose chase is actually over. No more tricks.

Finally.

Two things:
Could you please link to the leaderboard at the top? The list of ciphers is kind of long.
Also, question: Do you update the leaderboard and cipher list with some sort of program, or do you do it by hand?

By hand
Can you feel my pain? I'm actually going to make a project at this point to save FP space cause I'm actually going to run the character limit into the ground

Maybe a project for solved ciphers and this forum post for current ciphers.

Also if you want I could write a Python program to automatically write the current cipher list.

we could use archives. every now and then remove the solved ciphers that are already in the topic, then create a new post that contains what was removed.

Okay I will soon. I'll probably forget so feel free to remind me in, let's say, 3 days.

I will spend more time debugging ChatGPT's code than writing my own.
Co0lcr34t10ns, do you have Python on your computer? What OS are you running?

I can probably reuse most of the code I wrote for updating my BaG sticky.

Yes, I have flash. well a remake of it
