i can see people are having trouble. the clue in the HTML source of the page is meant to suggest to the user viewing the HTTP headers. this can be done using telnet.

In fact you do not need to know hexadecimal for this challenge.

Really lucky that I got it when manipulating them... This one's great! And yes, we need to manipulate them to get the answer.  ----------Haruhi-ism: all about a mysterious girl who think everything except herself in the world should be mysterious; but she actually is the most mysterious 'thing' in the universe. |

The only thing in a header I could imagine to be useful here is the hash... Oh, I have the encrypted message. No idea what to do with it. "blah is big and blahblah is small." Does that mean the number blah decrypted means big and blahblah decrypted is small?   |

well, once you have the numerical sequence, you might want to pull those number apart. each number represents an english word, which is a sequence of letters.

i never announce the answers. it seems to me like too many people are tripped up on the very first clue. click here for a semi-spoiler, to see the encrypted message.

Thx Gendou. Lets see if I can get anywhere now. (BTW, I figured it would be something like this, but the telnet thing didn't work out.)

I think I'm seeing it now. Does the factor's order matter?

multiplication is reflexive, so there is no such thing as factorization order! however, the characters in an english word are ordered, obviously. so, there's going to be some sort of clever trick to preserving order. try arranging the factors in different orders, like smallest to biggest, and vice versa.

It seems like the step between ~finding the primes of each number in the Encrypted-Message~ and ~organizing/scrambling/sorting the primes of each number in the Encrypted-Message~ could take forever... All I know FOR SURE is what number "L" is, because there are two Ls in "small"... In other words, I cannot figure out the "clever trick to preserving order."  edit: btw, thank you Raijinili for the websniffer clue!!! I would have been lost without it. |
