Passcode Keyword Finder
Today we’re launching a new tool to help find keywords in passcodes.
It works the same way like the other one on the Internet but it’s actually updated!
How to use the finder
Transposition
Sometimes you just want to know what keywords are possible to help spot a pattern in a code. For example:
te68o5erezim2tk8uf
The regular expression to find a possible keyword would be:
^[te68o5erezim2tk8uf]{8}$
The ^ and $ denote the beginning and end of a string, essentially a whole word.
The [te68o5erezim2tk8uf] denotes to look for a character within the [].
The {8} tells it to look for 8 of those characters, since the prefix/suffix are 5 characters each, there are 8 remaining for the keyword.
Trying this example out reveals the keyword to be timezero, and we can now look for the full passcode:
te 68 o5 er ez im 2t k8 uf
timezero can be seen highlighted and we see a pattern for the passcode: ufk82timezero568te.
Substitution
If a code presents itself with a clean distribution and a correlation between letters/numbers, you can sometimes use the tool to find a keyword.
a8bdacc6ccbbbaabbabcabb6b0b1ccccccaab0 would be split into pairs:
a8 bd ac c6 cc bb ba ab ba bc ab b6 b0 b1 cc cc cc aa b0
The pairs starting with c are in the same position as where numbers go, and you can now safely assume everything in the middle is a keyword.
bb ba ab ba bc ab b6 b0 b1
Looking for repeated sets, we see that ba and ab are repeated in the keyword. Creating a regular expression for it:
^.(.)(.)\1.\2...$
The . not enclosed in () denote any character we don’t generally care about.
The (.) are captured to be reused in another part of the expression with \1, \2, etc., in the order in which they were captured.
With our example, we see the only result being detection. If we compare the (uppercase) hexadecimal values of detection to the code:
bb ba ab ba bc ab b6 b0 b1
44 45 54 45 43 54 49 4f 4e
We can now deduce the code was ciphered with a hexadecimal-atbash.
57 42 53 39 33 44 45 54 45 43 54 49 4f 4e 33 33 33 55 4f

New Code Pattern
We have observed a new passcode format in the Body in Brooklyn. A Cover-Up? post on June 16 2016.
The new passcode format is:
xxx##keyword###xx
x are any letter from a-z
# are numbers 2-9
keyword is a word related to Ingress (our compiled list of keywords)
At this time, we are not sure if this code will be used exclusively for daily codes from the Investigation Blog or will it be expanded to include Word of the Day and Ingress Report codes.
Wargames – Aegis Nova (May 28)
The Wargames series continued into Aegis Nova with 15 puzzles containing critical intel for the agent who solves them. Verum Inveniri started off the festivities just before 1200 UTC and the first 10 puzzles all being unlocked within 90 minutes. At 2200 UTC, Verum Inveniri announced more challenges to bring the total to 15.
Remember, all the codes for this series eventually solve to the format xxxxxxxx#keyword# (unless stated otherwise). This is a typical format for passcodes distributing volatile intel around anomalies.

Klue’s Nightmares and her Dream
There are 6 codes found in the Klue’s Nightmares and her Dream post on the Investigation Blog. Normally there are only 3 codes found but there are 3 codes found in the image which was recycled from November 2014. 1, 2, and 3 are found in the source code; 4, 5, and 6 were found in the image.

Getting started with decoding
Welcome to the world of Ingress passcode solving. By checking out this tutorial, you’ve taken the first step to ascend beyond the ranks of a field agent.
In this tutorial series, we’ll be going through a few basic topics, we’ll be adding more topics as they are written.
This post will discuss where to look for codes.
