Seeking help with stego challenge "Monstrosity"

Hi there,

I’m just starting out here and I’m currently stuck with the setgo challenge “Monstrosity”. I wondered if any of the 90+ solvers of the challenge would mind to give a hint where to go/look next? :slight_smile:

I kind of assume/see a pattern in the list of tweets after importing the text into Excel and filtering out the “unneded” text. Somehow I can’t figure out what the chart is supposed to tell me. Making chars out of the string lengths also didn’t kickstart my brain… :-/ Am I at least poking in the right place?

I would really appreciate any hint/help that would lead me in the right direction as not being able to solve this one is keeping me awake at night… :wink: :-/

Check what a tweet really is :wink:

Hmm… I now found a program via Google that even has that name… I’ll check into it. Many thanks for the push… :slight_smile:

It’s difficult to give a hint on this challenge cause it would probably result in a total spoiler :stuck_out_tongue:

If anyone else is working on this and wants to bounce some ideas around and work together, message me.

Doesn’t seem that anyone is looking to work together on this. If someone has completed it and is willing to hear out what I’ve done and where I am and then see if a nudge is possible, please message me. Thanks.

It is hard to bounce ideas around because either you know what to do or you keep thinking about tweets. Any hint to get started is a hint to solve the entire thing. Think generally “what category is this challenge in?”

Many thanks for the hints so far. I kind of got lost in the “bar chart”, but got a new track now which I’ll follow as time allows in the next couple of days… :slight_smile:

Finally was able to solve this one. Once you know how to solve it, it almost seems trivial (as usual). I was following way too complicated routes in the beginning… :lol:

i finaly completed it, not so easy :wink:

anyone working on this that i may pm?
i believe I have read a paper that is related with this challenge, but slightly different, so not sure if i am correct

I’m working on it, but I’m afraid I’m in the very beginning stages here

Does the serebro video is useful?

I’m really out of ideas for this challenge…

Do we need a twitter developer account to solve this one?
