Binary Noise (Unsolved Half-Life 2 Ep2 Mystery)

[ViperStarFilms]

i just found these textures, I was wondering if I coul use them for a black ops trture room map LOL.

[poonjabgerm]

there is a website for a company hiring encryption/code breakers for the government. it uses a binary code to start but gets deeper as you break encryption. "google is your friend." can you crack it?

It's 160 bits in length, like an SHA-1, SHA-0, or tiger hash, though to my knowledge I don't think anyone's bruteforced these functions successfully without military-grade hardware...

@197022007

thanks. valve had something like this in one of there portal "dinosaur" puzzles. maybe its a common phrase or something like this. i have a little spare time at hand right now so im gonna do 2 things. search for a solution and replay ep 2 searching for this. maybe i recolor it so it will be more obvious to see in case it was ingame

HEY PEOPLE, I transtaed TheGuitaristOfGod's code, and I got this:

Èä’ä&#82­17;/#’I?#’e&&#­186;£m)5

[peperonyandchease]

People that use the term "copypasta" are fucking retards.

[jb2386]

@peperonyandchease People that use words like "Peperony" and "chease" are fucking retards.

[radioactive2558]

@peperonyandchease no, u

[evilgrowl]

The value isn't divisible by 8 so it cannot be translated to anything.

[pacific14586]

@evilgrowl Hey, idiot, that only means it's not ASCII. There are infinite ways of interpreting a number.

[evilgrowl]

@pacific14586 Translate: restate from one language into another language.

Translate the binary for me; OH WAIT, you can't because it doesn't translate to another language, just random gibberish. Don't call me an idiot, you patronising cretin.

[pacific14586]

@evilgrowl I'll cut you some slack. You obviously don't have your helper with you. But what I'm saying is, unless you know how to interpret the binary, you can't translate it. Translating binary isn't as simple as checking if it's divisible by 8 and turning it into letters, you know. The binary could represent unicode, in which case it would have to be divisible by 16, not 8. The point being, there are more than one possible languages to translate a number into.

[zoeacacia]

The copypasta in the description is wrong ¬_¬

[Snapleaple]

@zoeacacia Yeah the copypasta is incorrect. I'll put it up correct

[taylordstuart94]

hey, sorry to break it to you man but its just random crap. here it is translated.

@taylordstuart94

i know thats its not clear text, but i guessed it might be something hidden

like the thing with portal. the problem is to decrypt the ,meaning of this

[Headcrabb]

@taylordstuart94 fyi binary doesn't "translate" into anything, binary is a number system
