Morse code in the banner says "dropbox"
Why me lazy fucktard
fairly certain we use the email address provided in dropbox. now for the password!
Sorting the comments by the time they were posted you were the first to have solved the morse. Well done
Is it just me or is there anyone else here who is dumbfounded by the skills some people got over here. I only understood that it's the Morse code on the cover photo.
I am truly amazed by the work you all did! I had not much time to check everything. And the challenge is not finished yet
I LOVE SAILING
in the cesarean as hint. It uses every 7th letter.
Emm, there is a new file in dropbox.
The password of the dropbox with that email is ilovesailing and it contains
There's also a
hello.rarfile that's password protected.Yes, also she's from germany.
Interesting, it cannot be uploaded to steemimg neither opened with traditional img viewer. the only thing i remark inside is that 0 and the 64 number that wasn't pixelated
Just get into the dropbox, i think its german, there is also a text with a password and an audio, im playing with the audio play speed but either im high either its german.
It's backwards. I JUST UPLOADED THE NEW UNREVERESED AUDIO TO DROPVOX
I wanted to play it backwards but since vlc doesn't have it im passing to bruteforce it (thanks google for finding me a cracker) and now atleast we have the hint that its only letters.
edit: By then i thought the audio hold the password of the text :P
nope, i can understand the kiss and the kinda bye at the end lol.
I freaking swear its saying hitler somewhere.
4c43883fa5 does that work?
Can you upload it to an image sharing site?
Doesn't work, you all can access the dropbox too, its [email protected]
ilovesailing
Ps: the account was per default in german but to stop fucking my mind up with the similarity to swedish i changed it into english, however you should change it back if you want the original look.
67
yeah seen after, lol.
So its insects that like sailing?
Well, im going to roll and smoke one maybe it helps :D
absolutely correct! well done: you but the hints together and brought us one step closer. 10 SBD for you. :)
The audiofile is distorted and in reverse. It says:
Hello dear Cryptofriend,
as you can hear i'm outside
Can you tell me where I am right now?
I need to know.
I will send you a picture of my location.
Do you know what this could be, and where?
Thank you my friend, I'm waiting for your response.
And before I forget to tell you, you know in which city I live, just have a look at my introduceyourself post. And I see a building with a lot of satellites on it. It says "studio". I can see some rails, probably trains.
--> He lives in Hamburg
I found it.
it's here:

You came so far. I am amazed by your skills my friend. But you came to an dead end.
Is that what is in the rar?
@reneenouveau why don't you share it with us then?
I just bruteforced it with english and german dictionaries, but the pw wasn't in there
Amazing! Very amazing coco. How did you find it? 10 SBD goes to you
Cool :)) I used many clues... I think I'll have to make a post about it
Yes please! Would love to see a post :)
Check the introduce yourself post.
Hello dear cryptofriends, I'm outside, can you tell me where I am right now, I need to know.
I will send a picture of my location
do you know what this could be and where?

150 Upvote Hint: Don't look forward. This challenge it's big. Let's make history
100 Upvote Hint: do not get distracted. The molecule is distraction as has nothing to do with the solution. Stick to the image in the Dropbox
Ah seriously thats the hint? I know nothing about molecules so i was just expecting someone else to find it, lol.
It's supposed to be a hint, not a solution :)
is that morse?
under crypto challenge?
or is it 010101 shit?
Also, the second picture seems to be a protein, aminoacid if im not wrong.
It's a protein that's been folded into it's tertiary structure.
specifically the tertiary structure....
which may mean binary > Ternary
Morse is correct
Nearly at 100 votes, good luck :)) xx
