Congratulations to ilusionz for solving the wizard contest, his steps are below:

Ilusionz wrote Watch video on Adam's Profile page at 0.25 speed to find a IP address hidden a few seconds in (51.75.78.84)




Firstly, the site will deliver a cookie titled "ROMEOOSCARTANGOSIX" - with another code, "KEOCOJDFPNEFTHJBVV"





Ignore the audio with the morse code, if you decoded it like me, ya been bamboozled.





View the website's homepage using a Windows Mobile device(easily done through a user agent on desktop) you'll be redirected to Ducky.txt

In Ducky.txt, make note of the symbols between certain letters, there is a hidden binary code here. There is also a anagram in the upper case text above DECEMBER SNOWFALL (Arrows) -- this is the clue for the step.

Easy solution (I was told about this after doing it the hard way) - Save Ducky.txt to your Desktop, open it up, and go through DECEMBER SNOWFALL with your arrow keys, if you have to press the arrow key twice
to get to the next letter, that is a 1 - if you only have to press the arrow key once, thats a 0.

Cool kids solution - If a none-printable character is present AFTER a letter, that letter becomes 1 https://i.gyazo.com/8f6463430ec8fa26482a56f459713d45.png -- If a letter comes after another letter, that letter becomes 0 https://i.gyazo.com/9595f10837c1240abb972c04c26c85ff.png

After getting the full binary code and converting it, you'll have a new word (Transmogrify) -- this is needed later.




View the website's homepage using an android device or user agent & hover over "Follow me" to find Grandiloquent.php

Open up command prompt, perform a command line request to 51.75.78.84/Grandiloquent.php -- It'll print out a giant Hexadecimal block.
Near the middle of the file you'll find a bunch of XXXDDDDDLMAOXDDXXX inputs.
https://i.gyazo.com/39e682e9f1c446f903e688631ff8a48a.png

Copy that line of X's and D's in to notepad. Here we want to delete all of the LOLs and LMAOs then replace each X with a 0 and each D with a 1. This will give us a binary code which leads to Superfluous.php






On this Superfluous.php, click "For now, take this" to download a RAR file called Wiz.rar -- Transmogrify is the password.

Open up this page in an online archiver (wayback machine) and go to the snapshot taken on December 25. Here you'll be presented with a bunch of numbers.



Open up the previously-downloaded Wiz.rar file and use Transmogrify as the password. Inside the rar file is a .txt file called Passage, which includes an extract from Moby Dick.

The numbers from the archived site are used in this file. Each number on the right side (so if its 1:4 we want 4) corresponds to a letter inside this file.
So, 4 will be the 4th letter, being S, 21 will land on E, 21 to E again ect. ect.
Eventually this will spell out 'SEETHEHIDDENBMP'




Now you want to go to a new page, which will be 51.75.78.84/hidden.bmp -- this will automatically download the .bmp file.

On the surface this file just looks like any old hidden text you'd be able to reveal with hue/saturation modifications.


The powers that be decided to make the entire image in to a Stereograph.

The only way to be able to clearly see the hidden text would be to use a Stereograph solver (I used stegsolve for this one)

Open the file up in the solver, and change the offset to around 90 to reveal the text.


Take note of the 3 capital letters, U,P,R.
Mysterious, puzzle, and riddle are all under the definition of Enigma.

Putting 2 and 2 together, we need to decode an Enigma.

Grab the cookie code "KEOCOJDFPNEFTHJBVV" from the first step, and punch it in, set the initial positions of rotors to U,P,R (in that order) and leave everything else default.

Hit decrypt and we get our result - THEANSWERISSGMOIQG






Back to the first step, ROMEOOSCARTANGOSIX (ROT6) comes in to play, so we need to rotate the alphabet 6 times and pass "SGMOIQG" through it to get the final answer.
