I just rewicked my Zeus Dual RTA myself for the first time. I have been taking it to the shop to get rewicked since I got it and today decided to dive in and do it myself. It was successful. Feeling super stoked!
Feels good, doesn't it? I was forced to learn from the get go as I'm one hour from the nearest vape shops.
On another note, who likes cryptographic and steganographic puzzles?
Not a easy one. My first time making oneConvenience can make one lazy.
On your other note, I love any kind of puzzle.
@Elmien here you go. Everyone's free to try crack it
Thanks, @RainstormZA. It's not working, though. Downloaded the file and it won't open.
Make sure your browser and antivirus isn't blocking it from being downloaded.Thanks, @RainstormZA. It's not working, though. Downloaded the file and it won't open.

So I got it downloaded, and tried another program to open it, but it is asking for a password.
Edit: Is the password part of the puzzle?
and I guess we have to crack the password...... any clues @RainstormZA ?
Yes it is. Two steps asking for password and the last one you need to decrypt the cipher
Password Clue: normally I would use an anagram but I made it a bit easy by using the filename as the password
Cipher clue: it's a substitution cipher on the internet, you need to figure out which one I used.
WARNING: the file isn't what it seems. You might think it's a picture. What if it's an audio file? or a text file? or something else. You got to figure it out.

Just when I wanted to tell @RainstormZA that I cracked the code, I saw that you beat me to it! Well done, @Asterix !
Thank you! Good fun! Had to do a bit of googling there.
Yep, had a much harder one - almost impossible to crack. Then I asked a member for some help, only to find out later that a certain clue had changed and he had to give me the answer.
I didn't have time to go further - got a Security+ exam to write on Wednesday morning. Steganography and Cryptography is part of my Security studies so yeah it was fun.
I had a little issue uploading this file to the Xenforo forums so I had to improvise and zip it instead of trying to upload a file that it didn't recognise (a bmp file, it wouldn't even upload jpg either).
That must be a really interesting course. I should do this more often. It is loads of fun and it helps to keep the brain going.
Good Luck for the exam Wednesday!
Yeah this one had 7 steps to go through. I'll pm you as I'm not sure if pasting the link to another forum is allowed.
