2 days it says but it's in Portugeuses in the source. Seems like it's a little different of a countdown that is normally used. This one is a little simpler but still gives the same effect. We have access to what was found so far here saved.

First thing I see that was different is that the onion page is using an IMG folder. Normally we haven't seen them do that in the paste. Other than that it seem that the name of the image is a cipher of some kind. It's a Caesar Cipher with a shift of 3. /img/JRRG_OXFN.png

Nothing in the Exif Data of the Image and it has a weird size. http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi

773 x 322 =248906
773 is a prime number!
322 is not Prime! http://www.archimedes-lab.org/primOmatic.html

This could be a password for Steghide? Or just a bad copy?


Also every weird, It’s an onion running from an IIS server? Since when do they not use linux and why do that?https://2rynibhfbadvfoh4.onion.link/img/

Pastebin Notes for Cicada 3301 2018
https://pastebin.com/u/defango/1/1t6i2Tx0

I'll be cronicling everything for this year on steemit with Video and notes to keep solvers informed. It would be great to have a wiki but I'm not going to be adding to the amount of stuff I have to do. I think it will be nice since I finally re-opened the discord for anyone that wants to solve or get help with the puzzle. I will be helping and posting notes and we can explore the puzzle world of 2018 together. It was a fun year in 2017 and we got a lot done but this journey is now fully on the blockchain!
