The Assassin's Creed Brotherhood crack puzzle contains many mysterious codes hidden, and they are completely unaware of what they have not understood before they have been decrypted. Below is a player who will study and decipher the mysterious code of the puzzle "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood" shared by players, and use various knowledge to subvert your cognition!
This article focuses on exploring the various mysterious codes and ciphertexts that appear in CLUSTER (it has nothing to do with unzipping TRUTH, it just allows us to understand the background knowledge more)
Mysterious code in puzzle 3
Morse Code
First is a Morse code
Translated it is DARKNESSLOSTDNUMB
Sentence: DARKNESS LOST NUMB (D should be redundant)
Chinese translation: Lost numbness in the dark
3 ciphertexts
The next page appears 3 ciphertexts (and another French word, "Le chiffre indechiffrable.", meaning "unbreakable ciphertext" and is also anonym for Virginia password):
Ciphertext 1: Appears above the 1 dollar bill
Password 2: Appears below Stalin supporters
Ciphertext 3: Russian pictures in the crowd
The key analogue appears in one person's words IMF (it should be an allusion to the International Monetary Fund International Monetary Fund)
To the right of the photo is John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), a famous British economist. He proposed the famous theory of state intervention economics. Students who have studied economics should know his "General Theory" (Keynes should be one of the Templars here, Khan...). On the left is Harry Dexter White, one of the founders of the Bretton Woods System, the IMF and the World Development Bank.
Decipher:
Ciphertext 1: This ciphertext uses the Virginia password (also known as the Virginal password, invented by the French diplomat Blaise de Vigenère), and is an advanced variety of Caesar's password (I'm a fool, the only ones in AC2 are Caesar's password). Here is a brief introduction to the encryption and decryption of Virginia password. This is a substitute for passwords. Each word in the plain text is replaced and encrypted according to the string in the key (as follows), otherwise it is decrypted.
For example
The ciphertext is BDF
The key is BCD
The plain text is ABC (B in line B corresponds to A, C in line D corresponds to B, and D in line F corresponds to D)
For example:
Ciphertext: UPK CCZDPKS BNF JGLMX BVJ UPK DITETKTBODS SBSKS
Key: BIG BIGBIGB IGB IGBIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIGBIGBI GBIGB (If the key is BIG, then the three strings BIG will be repeated infinitely)
Plain text: THE BUTCHER THE BAKER AND THE CANDLESTICK MAKER
If the key is one character, it becomes the Caesar password.
Let's talk less, let's start cracking it
So I used the key mentioned above - IMF to crack it.
Original text: rqpgxqqeqizikxzjpzkwmczyuawmbfxqwuasmkfvpfkqsbdftnfvw
Decipher: jekyllislandclubduckhuntmorepapermoneyandacentralbank
The sentence should be like this:
Jekyll island club duck hunt more paper money and a central bank.
The Chinese meaning is: Ducks in Jiko Island Club hunt more paper money and a central bank
The establishment of the Federal Reserve is legendary related to secret talks at the Giko Island Club.
The central bank of the United States--the Federal Reserve, we generally call it Fed abbreviated. It was established in 1913 under the Federal Reserve Act.
Password 2:
The same applies to Virginia password and key IMF.
The above is the original ciphertext, and the following bold is the deciphertext:
wzjwrypq
oncofthe
rpquzaaqpjlfmmzj
mheprovidedthene
kqxamwgbwmexcd
cessarypressure
Once of them he provided the necessary pressure. (I guess the author of the cipher text missed an e, and added it here)
The Chinese meaning is that among them, he provides the necessary pressure.
Password 3:
Virgini also appliesSub-password and key IMF.
The above is the original ciphertext, and the following bold is the deciphertext:
lqgbdnlpjvotcz
debtriddencount
yzujamwm
tiesare
fmmzjerw
thenewfr
wzyqqw
ontier
Connect to it is Debt ridden countries are the new frontier.
The Chinese general meaning is that a country tortured by debt is the new frontline
Cluser4 has no mysterious code (except for playing chess, it should be meaningless)
Mysterious code in puzzle 5
Cluster5 tells the story of the Peruvian dictatorship (although the free trade policy implemented by this government is very awesome)
There are 6 independent ciphertexts in total, all ciphertexts are encrypted using the simplest Caesar password instead of the password, and G corresponds to A (try it out one by one)
I will introduce the Caesar password here:
In cryptography, Caesar cryptography is the simplest and most well-known encryption technology. It is a technique of replacing encryption, where all letters in plain text are shifted backward (or forward) on the alphabet by a fixed number and then replaced with ciphertext.
If G corresponds to A, after shifting, there will be (up and down):
GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEF
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
If you give a GHI, we can decipher it as ABC
If
Ciphertext: NKRRU
The plain text: HELLO
The following starts deciphering
Ciphertext1
Original text: grrktjkcgymuotmzutgzoutgrofkznks
Decipher: allendewasgoingtonationalizethem
Segment: Allende was going to nationalize them.
Basic meaning: El Salvador Allende (former president of Chile) wants to nationalize them.
Ciphertext 2
Original text: ykvzkshkxkrkbktzn
Decipher:septembereleventh
Segmentation: September Eleventh
Basic meaning: September 11 (On September 11, 1973, the rebellious Chilean Air Force bombed the presidential palace surrounded by army forces. President El Salvador Allende was killed. It is generally believed that Allende committed suicide with an AK-47 rifle. The truth remains controversial.)
Ciphertext 3: In the dictator's car
Original text: luxj
Decipher: Ford
Basic meaning: It should refer to the then US President Ford
Password 4
Original text: SUXK ZNGT ZNXKK ZNUAYGTJ QORRKJ
Decipher: morethanthreethousandkilled
Segmentation: More than three thousand killed.
Basic meaning: More than a thousand people were killed (it should refer to a bloody coup)
Ciphertext 5
Original text: ATOZKJ LXAOZ IUSVGTE AY HGTQY, IGX IUSVGTOKY ZXGTYLKXXKJ
ZNKOX IUXVUXGZK JKHZ ZU ZNK GXMKTZOTK VAHROI
Decipher: unitedfruitcompanyusbankscarcompaniestransferredtheircorporateddebttotheargentinepublic
Segment: United Fruit Company, US banks, car companies, transferred their corporate debt to the Argentine public.
Basic meaning: United Fruits, American banks, and automobile companies, pass on their corporate liabilities to the people of Argentina.
Historically, United Fruit Company has had a long-term and far-reaching impact on the political process and economic development of many Latin American countries, especially in China and the United States. It was accused of "neocolonialism" and was exploited by third world countries. In international relations research, United Fruit Company has also become a classic case that describes the influence of multinational corporations, the subject of international political behavior, so it is nicknamed the "Banana Republic".
Ciphertext 6
Original text: SGQK ZNK KIUT USE YIXK GS
Decipher: maketheeconomyscream
Segment: Make the economy scream.
Basic meaning: Let the economy scream!
This sentence comes from Nixon's speech on the Chilean coup: "1 in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile! worth spending; not concerned; no involvement of embassy; $10,000,00 available, more if necessary; full-time job — best men we have; game plan; make the economy scream; 48 hours for plan of action."
Information: Helms reported two parallel strategies for destroying Allende. As discussed, the "soft line" was (in Nixon's words) to "make the economy scream." The "hardline" was to aim for a military couple.
Another thing appears here:
EYE TEE TEA
Hononic to ITT. It refers to the famous American Telephone and Telegraph Company, which has been involved in industries in various fields. This picture shows the former headquarters of the company.
Mysterious code in puzzle 6
A total of four sets of music scores (including those on the quarantine zone later), and the music score writing method is completely in line with the music theory.
But let's first understand the basic knowledge of the music score.
There are five lines in the five-line spectrum, and the scale can be extended by adding horizontal lines to both the upper and lower lines. Each line and the gap between lines can accommodate a note.
Below are the corresponding sound names of Do Re Mi Fa So La Si that we are familiar with
First see the music score in the picture of Yeltsin and Bush shook hands. There is a word a=a, and the quarter note (solid note) where it is located happens to be La (corresponding to the name A). So from here, we continue to write the alphabet to the treble part, one scale corresponds to one letter, and finally complete the scale and scale of a quarter note.Letter comparison table. This alphabet goes from bottom to top.
See the music score under the New Deal Reform Stamp, and the word f=n also appears here. Similarly, the dichotomous note (open note) here happens to be Fa (corresponding to F). So from here, we continue to write the alphabet to the bass part, one scale corresponds to one letter, and finally complete the scale and letter comparison table of a dichotomous note. This alphabet goes from top to bottom.
Then the next deciphering is very simple. Through these two comparison tables, the dichotomy notes correspond to the quarter notes and their letters one by one, and then you can decipher them. For example, (capsular letters represent dichotomy notes comparison table, lowercase letters correspond to quarter notes comparison table)
Translation of three music scores:
First score:
The most popular condition for reform is a wear public.
The most suitable environment for reform is when the public is already tired of it.
The stamp score is the same as the Yeltsin score:
Bretton Woods began it. The IMF delivers.
Bretton Woods made it begin. The World Monetary Fund made it happen.
The last Pujin score:
Apartment bombings start Czech war and elect Putin all planned by Abstergo.
The Chechen War began with apartment bombs, and President Putin's election was planned by Abstergo.
Mysterious code in puzzle 7
This chapter talks about the Iraq War, a political event that is very close to us.
There are 4 codes here, consisting of numbers and commas.
In fact, if you still remember, the password on an encrypted document EZIO received from the werewolf was very similar to this one. Shaun and Desmond explained that this password was very similar to the type of password that referenced a fixed text as a key. The most famous example is the ciphertext encrypted in accordance with the Declaration of Independence.
The example referred to here is Beale Ciphers. I believe many people should have heard of it, but here is a brief introduction. A captain of an expedition team named Beale handed over a mysterious box to the hotel owner for safekeeping, but he didn't come back for twenty years. The boss opened it and found that it was three cipher texts and a letter, claiming that there was a shocking treasure hidden inside. Over the past century, countless people have spent their entire lives deciphering these three famous secret texts, but they have no result. Only one of the three copies was confirmed and deciphered, the American Declaration of Independence is the key book, but the deciphered content is irrelevant.
Unfortunately, these numerical ciphertexts in CLUSTER7 are encrypted in this way. Fortunately, in one of the photos, the photo of President Bush walking down the carrier aircraft, with a line of words, "1 2 3 We the people",
This is exactly the first three words of the US Constitution, which implies that the mother of the key was originally adopted at the Philadelphia Constitutional Conference in 1787
Milestones in the history of human politics-----The Constitution of United States
The following is the original:
Decipher according to the following rules:
Number the text in order of each word (fortunately, it only takes more than 300 words), the numbers in the cipher text correspond to a word, and the first letter of the word is put forward to form the text.
For example, the number 24 corresponds to the word common in the constitutional text, so we write down the letter C
The original cipher text and decipher are as follows:
251, 280, 53, 107, 181, 254, 274, 133, 183, 24,
223, 214, 9, 291, 284, 259, 267, 234, 136, 255,

114, 254, 159, 121, 81, 279,47, 61, 169.
Decipher: The final frontier: destruction as profit.
Translation: The Last Boundary: Destruction with the Destination of Interest.
24, 4, 113, 2, 77, 30, 46, 10, 37, 81, 58, 187, 167,
198, 99, 56, 100, 181, 124, 81, 11, 9, 166, 3, 77, 42,
200, 101, 223.
Decipher: Contractors ran the war for profit.
Translation: The contractor fights this war for the sake of his interests.

CLUSTER8 and CLUSTER9 have no ciphertext
Puzzle 1Mysterious code in 0
The code in Cluster10 can tell at a glance that these are chemical element names.
The deciphering method is as follows:
Compare the atomic number corresponding to chemical elements to the order in the alphabet. For example, the sequence number corresponding to hydrogen element (H) is 1, then the alphabet corresponds to A
So only need to use the first 26 elements
There are 8 element codes in total, which are deciphered as follows:
