Illuminati | Puzzle Bounty

I scraped all 5 character strings from this thread (using a regex with \b set instead of spaces) and tried to bruteforce the file with that word list. No luck.

I suspect that the 5 mystery characters are to be obtained from that image because, shit, I'm not sitting through an eternity for a spot in the group.

Bruteforcing is of course a viable alternative, though perhaps a little less fun.

I know :( Tryna figure it out but it's been bothering me all day so far.

Well, think about it this way, how are the four animals related to the geometric figures? How might you distill that into a password?
Keeping this alive, might have another go today (maybe)

Maybe something similar to

square▲

or a 5 character word that describes the shape/geometrics we see.
Maybe if I just call the freaking number they'll give me the password lmao
In all seriousness I'm triggered now because I can't come up with any 5 letter words. My brain is melted.

I would probably be more into it if it weren't like this.

255 ascii combinations
26 lower case letters
26 upper case letters
10 digits (0-9)
31 odd random characters on the keyboard(/.,<>?;:'"[{]}\|=+-_)(*&^%$#@!~`)

Just with that info clearly missing some there are 41,321,978,664 different 5 letter combinations.
We also still don't know if the word is 4 characters long with the final character being ▲ which at 4 characters to brute force ending with ▲ is 600,610,155 combinations.

So besides that the only information I can really gather from the way the animals are lined up, we have squares and rectangles, triangles and the direction the animals are facing.

Based on the last statement, I'm pretty sure it's either a word or acronym or something, so it would be alphanumeric only. I also doubt it would have any capitals. So basically:

26 + 10 = 36
36 ^ 5 (number of chars) = 60,466,176
And we just add the alt30 on the end for each possibility. Which doesn't change the number of possibilities.

Still, that's an incredibly high number and I don't wanna try to crack it because I'll be here for a week with my processing power lmao.

I doubt it would be mixed Ualpha as it would make little sense however it could be full caps or full lower case.

I'll make a word list for someone to brute force with at 5 characters ending with ▲ if people want.

Does anyone here know how to add ascii characters to crunch?
Copy pasting the unicode gives me "Notice: detected unicode characters. If you are piping crunch output to another program such as john or aircrack please make sure that program can handle unicode input.

Not sure if the 2gb file I just made with have the ▲ at the end.

You can open it in Emeditor later on and change all the newline characters to alt30 then newline later on, just generate the 5char

So i worked it out, it's a series of co-ordinates and instructions that lead to the albert dock liverpool and the final clue is a padlock with the name davey mier.. Probably just a hoax but whatever i ain't going to the albert dock to search for this padlock.

I'll check this output.

sudo crunch 6 6 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz @@@@@▲ -o ascii.txt

Here's a link to the results in lower case. Any ideas on how I can add ▲ to the suffix?

sudo crunch 5 5 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz @@@@@ -o 5charnoascii.txt

figured I could do it with emeditor with alt left click and drag but too many lines to scroll through. Faster way?

When I do ctrl+shift+f8 it crashes when trying to replace the characters.

Never mind got it.
5char with ascii in lower case
Example
aaaaa▲
aaaab▲
aaaac▲
aaaad▲
aaaae▲
aaaaf▲
aaaag▲
aaaah▲
aaaai▲
aaaaj▲
aaaak▲
aaaal▲
aaaam▲
aaaan▲
aaaao▲
aaaap▲

Anyone want to try use this list to dictionary attack the rar? If so, I will make a Ualpha list and try it in capitals.

5 char ascii lower case

5 char ascii upper case

Well shit, let's see where this leads

Some other ideas I have had.

Squares behind images? 1/2/4/2
Ascii code to represent the squares? couldn't find anything significant.
5 numbers associated with Illuminati? Couldn't find any 5 set numbers.
5 numbers associated with Hermes Trismegistus? Nothing significant.

Was sent this by another user which you will need to extract.
Contains the png and rar file separated.

Big ups to "Josh" aka Hampo
Dope puzzle, hope ya'll get closer.
We are now onto flipping the image and re-trying to cut it out.
