Three codes could be found hidden in the HTML source of the Via Noir: Anomaly Intel II post on the Investigate Ingress blog.

Code #1

Observations

There’s a lot of numbers in there.

Hint

A bit of math

Solution

Try a skip of 2

nuc3m1p1p2=kt9781626361737

Look like we have a good start

Split the string in two

nuc3m1p1p2=kt

9781626361737

In the first half we have what seems to look like the start and end of prefix and suffix

Notice those m, p and =. Looks like Niantic math which would be

nuc 3 -1 +1 +2 = kt

Use 3 for all operations

nuc 3 (3-1) (3+1) (3+2) (=3) kt

nuc32453kt

Now we have 13 numbers for the keyword. Can’t be Ascii as we would need an even number. Try Googling the string

Google gives a BIN for a book called Discover Magazine’s Vital Signs

nuc32discover453kt

Code #2

Observations

27 letters, notice that lots of them are repeating

Hint

2 steps to get the passcode. Check the range of those letters.

Solution

The code includes a lot of D, E, P, and Y. Because it’s 27 letters first instinct was to think of morse but nothing came up. Let’s try to convert letters to numbers using a=0

15 24 3 24 4 23 21 3 4 3 3 15 5 24 4 23 4 3 24 4 3 2 4 5 4 4 4

Notice the range of these numbers, no single digit is higher than 5. Polybius square uses a range from 1 to 5.

Pair those digits

15 24 32 44 23 21 34 33 15 52 44 23 43 24 43 24 54 44

Use this grid to map out the letters

	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

Code #3

Observations

Passcode format is there, go through your usual basic ciphers

Solution

Atbash and ROT didn’t give anything good to work with, next up is morse manipulation

Convert to morse

.-. .. ... ----. .---- -. -.-- -.-- ---.. .---- .---- -..- .---

Swap the morse bits

-.- -- --- ....- -.... .- .-.. .-.. ...-- -.... -.... .--. -...

Convert morse to text
