    I read all the other topics and everyone seemed to have issues with the second part. I have the key from the second part, but I'm having trouble with the first part. I'm pretty sure I know what it is and how I'm going to have to use the key, but I can't... get at it. It's probably really simple because no one else has asked about it and I feel kinda dumb. \":P\" I've tried a bunch of Google searches but I couldn't find anything useful. A nudge in the right direction would be nice. \":-)\"

    Think about it like this:

    You have something on your mind
    You have pen and paper
    And if you want your thoughts saved on a piece of paper,you have to write them down.

    Use my words in proper way and you'll solve it right away.

    Thanks for replying so quickly; I still don't get it, but I'll think about it some more. \":-)\"

    Ask yourself

    How did you get second part?

    Read about structures and reread the title! \";)\"

    I think that I'm stuck in the same way Shaadows was a year ago.

    • I have resolved without any doubt the second part that indeed gives me a key for the first part;
    • I have recognized that I'm dealing with PK 1400 (pretty sure this is not spoiling it \":roll:\") and guessed how the key will be useful;
    • I have found the encryption method that was used back then and quite a lot of whitepapers on how weak it is.


    I'm stuck never getting to the point where I can actually use the key I found to decrypt the first part.

    My question is: am I expected to break this crypto knowing the key or simply use the key to decrypt it? (see the nuance here? \":stegano:\")
