Fellow opposers,
During the Gelhan attack i employed codebreaker and analyzer modules to see if they had any effect on Sansha forces or wormholes. No results were received unfortunatly so they proved to be ineffective.
However, Aura notified me of a block increase in transmission reception, which were not of any broadcasts directed at my FTL receiver. Wether these 2 transmissions are the result of using the codebreaker and analyzer modules i am not sure but one seems to be heavily encrypted, the other was decrypted by onboard systems just now.

It does not resemble the type of encryption we've seen before so it appears they are adapting their transmission encryption tactics aswell. There seems to be some robust data incorporated in the encryption. Even after applying co-cpu's to my fitting, my efforts to decrypt the second message have been unfruitful. Therefor i decided to call in the minds of perhaps smarter capsuleers. ___________

There is a standard way of composing these communications. Pared with the strange fact that the adressed, and the sender's identity have not been encrypted, a cypher can be made. 23Xdw*999*&6DU\\Master Kuvakei 882&2$dkjaKKD))6^\\Gelhan-planet four liberation DjfW^^2(*sk32D\\Slave Ation09 In order, they are recipient, subject, and sender.

After carefull re-evaluation of the decrypting process done by Aura i can conclude that the cypher is not contained in the header. It merely seems that the header is not encrypted with the advanced algorithms and was simply decrypted as the first broadcast was. The numbers in front of the recipient, subject and sender seem to be nothing more than ID calls of sorts.. If anyone else can hazard a guess, educated or not, i'm sure we'll be able to figure it out in time. ___________

It indeed could well be. Main issue right now though is to assertain which encryption method has been used to encrypt the message. I'm sure it's discoverable by the trained eye of a cryptologist.
Unfortunatly i will be bound to station business for the coming hours so i will not be able to assist in the effort during that time. I hope someone will be able to crac.k the code. It might be that there is valuable information contained in the broadcast, that could prove invaluable. Possibly though, it could also be a request for a shower after Slave 32152 will be podded for the umphteenth time...

This makes sense.
The data blob in the second message looks to be encoded in the base64 scheme. Running it through a decoder results in data alike to what the third line looks like.
So, however we get from "=ÑOò˜í¿gĄ¦+xn¦" to "One Purpose." is the key. It is possible that the ASCII symbols for carriage return and new line need to be appended to "One purpose.". This would make the decoded sequence equally long as the encoded sequence.
Hmm, this may be a substitution cipher over the full range of a single 8-bit byte. I shall investigate further.

Indeed, Dorgiers seems to be the main liason between CONCORD and the capsuleer community at this time. The art of the conversation shouldn't be present amongst friends. The skill of the conversation is in the listening. |

It certainly does resemble base64, given that every character comes from the set "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/". We shouldn't assume, though, that it will resolve to simple text (clear or otherwise) and could in fact represent binary data encoded into base64.
I've got some of my own routines chewing on it now and will report later.

I think we should try a plain-text attack. Given the info given above there are at least two possible known phrases:
23Xdw*999*&6DU = Master Kuvakei 882&2$dkjaKKD))6^ = Gelhan-planet four liberation
Given the length of the Gelhan phrase it could well be that instead of "Gelhan-planet four liberation" we should use "Gelhan-planet 4" or even "Gelhan 4" or Gelhan IV".
We have two other possible combinations: DjfW^^2(*sk32D = Slave Ation09 iODPs&&20/fiFF = Slave 32152
Then there is the Dorgiers result. Can that be narrowed down to the exact part of the encrypted text?
Due to the severe security restrictions in my home station, I cannot run a codebreaker. Maybe someone else can arrange a codebreaker running on a main frame.
Please post any results. Hope this helps

Sometimes the answer is staring you right in the face you know? Taunting and sticking out it's tongue...You just have to look past first glances or perhaps sleep on it a night and then it slaps you in the face...hard..
There's something about =ÑOò˜í¿gĄ¦+xn¦ i just can't put my finger on...We're now at the point that it's ASCII symbols but how and in what type. Is it multi layered? Does it have extra meaning? DAMNIT!

Okay, but what sort of encryption? If we had a better idea of that, then we could try all sorts of key phrases (definitely including the ones you listed).

That sequence is "F0 A5 EA 95 F7 A1 A8 67 41 B9 BD 78 FC B3" in hex, for what it's worth. If in fact it matches up to "One purpose", then we have two additional characters. And if those represent CR/LF, then the plain text for "FC B3" would be "0D 0A". I'm not sure that's more than a red herring, but it's what I've been chewing on for a bit here.

Even better, if we assume that they reused the same key, then a regular stream cipher attack would likely work. An XOR (exclusive-OR) operation on two ciphertexts would be highly instructive.
I hypothesize that the headers consist of ciphertext followed by the equivalent cleartext. "23Xdw*999*&6DU" would, in this case, decrypt to "Master Kuvakei", though the subsequent lines don't exactly line up byte-for-byte between the two sections.
But if we were to XOR "23Xdw*999*&6DU" with "882&2$dkjaKKD))6^", what would we get? Or "=ÑOò˜í¿gĄ¦+xn¦" with the base-64 decoded text I listed earlier?

Looking a the first message I couldn't ignore some misplaced letters and numbers. These are E A S 2 5 6. For some reason I think it might be a hint to using AES256 encryption. In that case we have to find the 32-byte key somewhere within first message as well. ____________________________________ Open your eyes. And Awaken. |

But not the key, sadly.
Also note that many codebreaker modules will internally hash the passphrase to 256 bits (32 bytes), so what we seek need not be that exact length. Compiling a list of possible keys now to feed to my recursive codebreaking...

=ÑOò˜í¿gĄ¦+xn¦ has been translated. It decrypts to KUVAKEI. Simple substitution of text to ASCII coding. It is most likely to be the key to decipher the wallo' text. It was already established that the encryption was AES 256 bit. In channel we established that the tool used for encrypting is probably used off site to keep it out of the transmission itself, but after careful and extensive digging outside GalNet sources i have found the answer. Password was encrypted into ASCII in capital letters but as per usual names are only with first letter capital. Found that out after the third try.
The message translates into: For Nation. Master, harvesting of liberated souls is going well. Adapting tactics to capsuleer involvement seems to be effective and they have not yet been able to break the pattern of our attacks. Involvement of Navy forces has been limited as of yet as they seem unsure what stance to take. Loss of our CONCORD agent has been difficult but CONCORD itself seems tied up in rules and legislation. CONCORD involvement is limited to the rally of capsuleer forces at this time. For additional confusion I believe doing simultaneous assaults will be effective.
For glory of Nation. Slave 32152
I am however unable to pass this along as 100% Slave broadcast considering the "Intelligent" message. Perhaps there's more to the Slaves than meets the eye?
