The FBI Needs You to Solve this Code

[Sanaje]

April fools joke of the year, tbh.

 

[headless Monkey Boy]

so you'd only tell someone that the Lizard people were after them in code !!!!! and have it sound so inocent? well thanks alot! (that last bit was in code)

 

[llew]

In my opinion this kind of thing is probably either:
1. A clever way to confuse the police if you murdered this man
2. It could be this guy saying, "if i'm going to kill myself, I might as well make the police involved confused as hell." *scribbles random letters on paper*

i thought this as well xD

if the FBI hasn't cracked this yet, then it's probably gibberish. in my amateur opinion, there are way too many repeated letter patterns for this to be any kind of polyalphabetic cipher and a simple substitution cipher would be trivial to solve.

the dashed lines like "KLSE-LKSTE-TRSE-TRSE-MKSEN-MKSE" on the second page are particularly suspicious in how repetitive the letter patterns are.

maybe it's his microsoft office key. i know i would do that, just to fuck with the police. i'd write down jibberish, plenty of inside jokes, and an actual code at the end that says "u mad bruh?"

I broke this and have a fairly complete translation, it is not code which is why they cannot break it.

The guy used his own abbreviations and works in an industry that most do not know, I think the Feds might be disappointed though as its work related.

Good luck with it, took me 8 hours.

K

Lol, bullshit.

Post what it means

No B.S, all they had to do was walk those pieces of paper into his employer and they would have known this guy for sure. He must have given them a real headache.

Let them have this first as I do not know what they want me to do with it and its possible others broke through it as well. I am really not sure to be honest as I know the industry and struggled, the use of various numbers put me onto it early, but its very hard to read.

Considering you made an account just for this I'm starting to wonder if you actually did crack it, seriously, post as much of your "fairly complete translation" as you can, I'm curious to see it even if it makes little sense.

As for what to do with it, mail it here:

FBI Laboratory
Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records Unit
2501 Investigation Parkway
Quantico, VA 22135
Attn: Ricky McCormick Case

As stated in the article.

What do you mean "let them have this first"? They aren't going to figure it out, they've tried, they can't, if you think you have it, mail it in.

I called them, there is no other way to go with it than the way I went with it and there are 3 separate confirming aspects, the numbers confirm the industry, the work confirms the industry, and the language is pure industry. It has to be this way.

I made an account because I picked this up on Drudge Report around noon, when I got through the first page I went to search for the original story to see if they mentioned his line of work. What I got was this thread and 20 other sites.

Guy was a blue collar worker, and the entire first page appears to be his work orders for the day and what he was to do. The second page is more complicated as there are series of numbers and some of those numbers are jumbled and out of sequence, when you get them in the right sequence they are for parts, materials, and numbers that can track information that they actually may want. But what I cant figure out is why jumble a 20 digit or 18 digit number??. Either you dyslexic or maybe there is something else. I really do not know.

I will call them in the a.m and tell them, then I will tell your what this guy is so you know. I guess I posted it here as it was actively being talked about and I got excited after blowing a whole day on it.

Huh, forgive my skepticism, this is the internet after all, but you seem to be sincere, so congratulations!

Very impressive.

Hey guys crack my code!

See you in 10 years once you have cracked it

 

[Madara XIII]

Dude just wrote random numbers to fuck with us. He is one good troll.

OT: I'm really surprised it hasn't been cracked yet. It's probably what I wrote earlier in my post.

Honestly without a key or a legend established it's damn near impossible to solve.


Secondly this code obviously reads

DRINK YOUR OVALTINE!

 

[Baldry]

I'M GOING TO HAVE A SHOT AT THIS AND NOTE DOWN ALL MY OBSERVATIONS!...I may be mistaken but there seems to be no I's and U's and O's and the bigger note seems to have a essay type structure, though slightly muddled, the bottom is the title, the two short ones are the intro and conclusion and the two big ones are the main paragraphs and I don't want to think about it anymore as I'll go crazy trying to decipher it.

 

[comadorcrack]

put it on 4chan.
Problem solved

 

[cke]

It's easy: 10011000100010010010001001010001001 and it goes on forever

Until it hits a 2!

 

[Kristoffer Mattila]

Still two days 'til April...

 

[PleaseDeleteMe]

I think...THINK that its his activation codes for his pc games, and at the bottom, it says Day week month year mil

Haha, mental illnesses are so funny, or not.

 

[Dr.Panties]

Don't listen to the BS floating around in this thread. I am soooo close! I've got it down to a numerical series that corresponds to the alphabet in some way, but I've been on it for about 11 hours straight now, and I've just got this futhermucker of a migraine.

I'm done with it, seriously. Here is the series of numbers. Go for it, guys. I'll check back when my brain stops splitting apart:

26-15-15-2-12-6-9-25-26-8-22-26-9-22-25-22-15-12-13-20-7-12-6-8

This looks like a job for anonymous.

Someone contact this guy:

How to make an uncrackable code: scribble random characters on a piece of paper. Feel smug.

 

[Giest4life]

You know, the leaver of the note might actually be trolling everyone.And this could actually be gibberish.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

I'd be afraid to crack it and have them think I planted the note on the body, stupider things have happened.
