Found an interesting pattern at 310 line. Try to use hsv decompose and watch hue layer. Then interpret the line as 128 x 23 or 64 x 46 image, you'll see what have i found. Second case looks like a perfect data key/pair. Im not sure about this, that's might be just anomail caused by background cyclity.

Saturation layer will also keep some interesting info.

let me give you faggots a hint;

The lines represent constants that are part of the elliptic curve. The hexagons are all points on a finite field that are plotted to graphically represent an elliptic curve. This gets you the first key. if you trial and error the decimal numbered basepoints on the curve starting with the generator being two integers derived from one of the lines (that gives you the constants) you will get a set of keys that can be trialed and errored to try and unlock the second key.

this gets you the first and second key. i also know the third key but am not revealing it until i manage to somehow get the 4th.

How are you converting the hexagons to a finite field? You cannot even see all the hexagons on the image (I tried counting the hexagons to get the width and height of the image to understand the group structure of the finite field, but it's not possible because some areas are black).

If the maker of the puzzle wasnt a complete autist. He would make a true puzzle. that anyone could solve. but creating such a puzzle is extremly time consuming and is alot more effort than what has been made.

[Anonymous No.11330525]

Ok so here's what I got. I figured I might as well let the brainlets know what kind of approach actually works. Pretty sure this is the big one as nobody in the reddit thread even found it the riddle yet.

The png contains two compressed files.
Extracting and uncompressing the first yields a color-spectrum definition file. I'm not sure if this is a PNG-thing, but after trying it out on some random PNGs, I couldn't find anything like it. Pic related - pretty sure the values of the color scheme are pieces of one of the keys,

The second file isn't as easy. The compression stream itself appears to be corrupted on purpose. Most tools will not attempt to inflate the file - but some will. Running such a tool will give you a ~20MB file. I'm not sure if you can correct the corruption, but so far I haven't been able to.

Running the result through a file-type-analyzer yields a 100% certainty match for .dbf, an obscure database filetype from the 90s that is currently used in SAP's SQLAnywhere.

The database isn't loadable - the first header bit is a 1 and only numbers from 2 are valid. Also the encoding is fucked (which could be because of the broken compression).

That's where I'm at rn. How bout you brainlets?

Complete brainlet here with 0 chance of even understanding this, how will this actually work in laymen's terms? Is the money parked on an exchange that you can log into and transfer out? Or sitting in a wallet that you somehow gain access to? Plz no bully and explain.

Hey man I did something similar. But I only found 1 zlib-compressed chunk starting at byte 34 and 3144 bytes in length. I run file detection on it and got:
Microsoft color profile 2.1, type Lino, RGB/XYZ-mntr device, IEC/sRGB model by HP, 3144 bytes, 9-2-1998 6:49:00 "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"

I assume it's the same one you found. I don't think it's relevant to the challenge because many PNGs have embedded color profiles in them, and you can see it if you open the image with GIMP for example: it will ask you if you want to keep the proprietary color profile or convert the image to the GIMP one. The challenge image was created in Photoshop most likely, so that's the reason.

If you want to collaborate on this drop me a line at [e-mail]. Note: I also work, so I won't be able to devote all day to this, but I will see what I can do.

You are looking for a private key, which starts with a 5, or even a 12/24 word passphrase that many wallets use these days instead of directly giving you the private key.......

As in this months old puzzle NOBODY solved because it was likely too convoluted and based on a custom passphrase...... but it at least had some clues......

to be honest I'm probably not going to invest too much time into this either. From what I gathered since the zlib is probably a dead end anyway. PNG just uses that internally and giving false positives. Still, the values of the color scheme do seem a little... too well formed for something random. It might still be one of the keys.

Right now the best bet is the salted openssl encrypted string from decoding the hidden binary in the image. As the guy here
https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/29106/openssl-recover-key-and-iv-by-passphrase/29139#29139
points out the security is quite weak and will probably get brute forced in the next few days.

I will tell you all this: This puzzle took weeks to create. Some extremely intelligent people were kind enough to challenge themselves to create something more difficult than they have ever created before. I offered to reimburse them for their time, but they said they would rather publish papers about this project. We agreed that is more than reasonable, as long as these papers are published after the puzzle has been solved and the person who solved it has (hopefully) been contacted.

but op, those papers are gonna be written, you are gonna publish a book, why hide behind anonymity now? ppl would give you credibility if you (and the profs) gave name behind the competition now. why wait?
ye you proved you got access to an address with 310 BTC. you proved nothing more, and no one knows atp anything about anyone involved with that puzzle. you could just remove the BTC a month from now and claim some anonymous person solved the puzzle. one of the professors, or anyone who got access to their work could anonymously move the funds at any point.

honestly - yes, intelligence does make some difference although I would say you are more right than wrong.

If a high IQ gives you a better ability to learn things (and thats basically all it says) and the field is basically nothing more than a large accumulation of trivia-like facts, it does give a slight edge.

I have done the drugs, fucked the bitches and sucked couple of dicks but its not my thing really. I'm getting bored on useing drugs and fucking. I also have a very loving gf whom I really care of so I'd never cheat on her.

Just a hunch, but I think the image is a photo. You'll eventually find a string of numbers thinking it's a key, but it's actually a longitude/latitude. From there, you'll have to go in person to find the original spot where the photo was taken.
