[3] $*)&$%)%#%#&%^)%)%&&$&)&

Code #1

Observations

The right amount of numbers, yes you have seen this cipher a lot in the past weeks :p

Spoiler

make a 4×4 grid

`7`	`s`	`4`	`o`
`b`	`o`	`5`	`z`
`y`	`b`	`n`	`o`
`x`	`7`	`o`	`6`

Read up from bottom left X

xyb77boson546ozo

Looks good but the suffix is not the right format. How tricky, simply remove that extra O

xyb77boson546oz

Code #2

Observations

28 numbers ranging between 1 and 5. This is a good indication of what cipher to use.

[hint]A grid of 5×5 will help you but not using the passcode to fill it out[/hint]

Spoiler

When numbers range between 1 and 5, Polybius square always come to mind.

Here’s the index

	1	2	3	4	5
1	a	b	c	d	e
2	f	g	h	j	k
3	l	m	n	o	p
4	q	r	s	t	u
5	v	w	x	y	z

Make pairs with the string

32 34 42 43 15 22 42 34 52 43 33 44 33 34

Using these as coordinates for the Polybius square you should get

morsegrowsntno

You can see the keyword Grow in there but what about the numbers ? Let’s split it

mor s e grow s n t no

S could be 6 or 7, E is 8, N is 9 and T could be 2 or 3. Using a bit of brute force you get

mor68grow792no

Code #3

Observations

All symbols, check your keyboard.

Spoiler

Convert symbols to their respective numbers on the keyboard

`7`	`s`	`4`	`o`
`b`	`o`	`5`	`z`
`y`	`b`	`n`	`o`
`x`	`7`	`o`	`6`

Make pairs

48 07 45 05 35 37 56 05 05 77 47 07

Reverse to get valid Ascii range

70 74 77 50 50 65 73 53 50 54 70 84

Convert decimal to Ascii
