This Message just might make you crazy. Lets take a stroll through the cipher history time line
New ZIP
-------
But first will need to open the zip! and I am not giving you the password! you will need to crack it. the only hint you get is its all lowercase letters 18char long
Update
------
The second Cipher is a keyed cipher.... one of my favorite ciphers.
I will add hints slowly and those will be encrypted too!
You will need hints to solve So if you solve this with out hints we know you cheated :)

1.Solve this question was the turning point for our team. We were 502 points behind first place (hackem - 9875 points) and this question had two hints - one for 10 points and one for 100 points. We took the first hint (-10 points):
```
That Zip is password protected Im telling you that
youwillneverguessme
```
With that, we could unzip the file and there was a ciphered code with dancing men.
2.This is from the book from Arthur Conan Doyle - The adventure of the dancing men. You can encode/decode using this tool:
[Dancing Men Cipher](https://www.dcode.fr/dancing-men-cipher)
3.After that, we had a string with a polyalphabetic cipher. We got all members of our team trying to solve with different decoders, but what it worked was a vigenere key using `NeverlanCtf` as key.

4.The next text had a big tip on how to solve the next puzzle.

In the end, you can see rotor I, etc... We solved using [Cryptii](https://cryptii.com/enigma-machine)
