69420 and 999, are they related to Minecraft. Or am I going crazy?
Not going to lie about my maturity level… 69420 made me chuckle. This was a fun one!

Not related…

I though it was funny to use such numbers 
Thanks for the challenge @w3th4nds. It was really fun
Would anyone be willing to help me with the XOR part of this? It’s not a cipher I’m familiar with.

It is not a cipher.
If you still cannot find it, you can dm me on discord, same username.
No idea how to start…

Pretty related with c language doubly linked lists (structs).

Okay ty 
I think I made it. Used a python-script.
But the secret key… The hints are: Keylength = 1 and XOR. So I tried a Bruteforce, but that didn’t work
Edit: Found the flag. @w3th4nds: Really cool challenge. It contains different skills to get the flag.
Just solved this fun challenge! It is easier as it doesn’t require much knowledge but needs a bit of logic!
Some hints I hope aren’t spoilers:
Remove garbage, order properly, get the middle men, “The numbers computer, what do they mean!?”, find a nice key ?.
Hope this isn’t too much and freely contact me at discord: @DHIRAL#3584.
I extracted the “middle men” and now have a long sequence with the Sheldon men appearing a lot. No idea what to do now. I don’t get this hint “The numbers computer, what do they mean!?”. Please help.
Would somebody be willing to give me a hint? I have extracted the numbers but can not see the next step.

Hi!
Sorry - I know it was a while back, but what do you mean by “middle men”? I’m stuck here >.<
thankss
There may be an “error” in this challenge:
$ grep "^4 " deterministic.txt |sort -u
4 93 1
4 93 17
That is NOT deterministic.

I actually deleted the line 4 93 1 because it generates an infinite loop, although after that the XOR brute force with middle numbers and with key length 1 doesn’t show up any flags ://
Hello,
It seems that i probably miss something, i got the beginning of the flag but not the end.
I got exactly 24 characters 
Is there someone that can DM me to see what i’m missing ?
Thanks
Btw: nice challenge thanks a lot !
EDIT: Nvm got it ! was trying to do harder stuff than needed
