From today's NY Times article by John Schwartz titled "A C.I.A. Secret Kept for 35 Years Is Found in the Smithsonian’s Vault"

"Cryptographic science, he argued, could not solve Kryptos — 'but library science could.'"

#LibraryScience FTW!

Das #Kryptos scheint gelöst worden zu sein. Zwei Nerds haben einen Seitenkanalangriff gestartet und den Klartext extrahiert.

Kryptos ist eine Skulptur vor der #cia mit geheimem Text. Seit Jahren wird versucht, den Text zu entschlüsseln.

Well, well... could we see movements on the #Kryptos sculpture front next year? Or will someone else just hold the keys to K4? Exciting times ahead.

Das ist #Kryptos und steht vor der #CIA.
Die wurde von James Sanborn entworfen. In den letzten 35 Jahren haben Leute immer wieder versucht, den Text zu entschlüsseln.

In a groundbreaking revelation, the has decided it's time to sell the secret key to the CIA's puzzle because, apparently, enthusiasts needed just one more thing to ignore 😏🔑. But first, you'll have to decode the maze to even consider bidding 💻🔒.

35 years ago, Jim Sanborn presented the cryptographic sculpture Kryptos to the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia. Made from copper, granite, quartz and petrified wood, it has four sections, each of which holds a message in code. Over the years, three of the sections have been solved — by CIA code breakers, a California computer scientist, and the National Security Agency. Now, 79-year-old Sanborn says he's going to auction off the solution to the final message, with the company arranging the sale estimating a winning bid between $300,000 and $500,000. Here's @newyorktimes's story on why he's doing it now, and what he hopes the winning bidder will do with the secret.

@burnyourears Wir haben das Glück, in #Stuttgart mit dem „Schwarzen Keiler“ einen reinen Metalclub zu haben. Bei einer Kapazität von unter 200 bringen die dort so Urgesteine wie #Kryptos, #Exhorder oder #Raven auf die Bühne. Und dann motzen welche, dass 30 Euro zu teuer wären. Anstatt eines Stadion-Gigs können sie dort fünf und mehr Gigs sehen. Und hätten wahrscheinlich fünfmal mehr Spaß. 🤘
