Yeah that was quick. I sat down, saw the post and was like WTF this is just hex. Converted the username and got treasure55, surely enough that was it and was like "Ok, I get it, cool, someone will nab 100 Steem." Straight up bizarro world someone would reverse the string and convert to ROT13 on a hunch . . . I don't see the logic.
Well the formatting was a dead giveaway for hex, so I check the username and got @treasure55 immediately. I was assuming Marky was keeping it simple and thought the pass followed as easily as the username, but I was wrong! I actually got to the point of reversing it and just kinda hail mary'ed it (forward and back) trying to find out what algorithm hashed it (was gonna try to crack it). I ran it through LM, NTLM, md2, md4, md5, md5(md5_hex), md5-half, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, ripeMD160, whirlpool, MySQL 4.1+ (sha1(sha1_bin)), and a few other checks. NO DICE!
In terms of caesar ciphers, I always though of ROT1, ROT2, ROT3, and so on, but haven't even thought about them since I was a kid doing it by hand haha.
simply change it and place a another 100 STEMM fg
You should announce early to allow more people to join. We have a time-shift and lot of quite good guys are busy hacking other stuff most hours of the day :-)
I backtracked the name but what was the letter coding used? Is that some kind of programmer language or what? I just want to know becuase I like puzzles
congrats @hakancelik
Hello guys
!popcorn
Got it. Not gonna claim :-). Have fun y'all.
This is some stuff I can get behind, nice initiative!
Do this again in the future and I'll toss some into the ring to sweeten the deal.
EDIT: Spoke too soon!
Prove it by sending to my account. lol
Will you work with us to create a weekly contest for the @steemitweekly?
Take it if you figured it out.
It was taken by @hakancelik. What was the encryption of the password?
Spoke too soon! Converted the username, thought the same thing for the password followed/didn't login and was wrong, nice one!
LOL, I suspected that was the case :)
I'm actually surprised it was found so fast.

well it is commonly used CaesarCrypt in Python with offset=13.
But I guess I would not have thought about the "reverse string".
And before having a look at the ASCII-Codes, I would have parsed the blockchain for recently created accounts with 100 STEEM :-)

Hahahaha - "some people" do stuff like this with starting from C64, Atari and otheres for more 30 years - daily :-)
Its gone!

Its an enigma code! Thats how itw orks! i figured it out!
DONE!
https://steemit.com/@hakancelik (found it)
@themarkymark thanks you for the contest.
Impressive, good find.
Quicker than I expected.
Mind leaving the password so others can continue to play?
too late, I just saw your message, so I told them how to find it :( sorry
!popcorn
Well done!

Got 100 Steem?
here my 1st 3 cent!
cannot afford at this moment. But I like the idea - and maybe....

nice
@hakancelik found it. Now he's obliged to tell us how he did it! :D
(Congratulations, btw.)
I concur. Tip!

too late. it's hex to ascii...
If only it was so easy.
Will you give us the solution? (Since 2 people already did it...)
I'm so curious! :D I want to know too.
I'm on it!
The user-name was an easy guess, but I think you fooled me well with the password.
