It is not unexpected and thus not beyond a measure of control which has
led you inexorably here.

Phase 1. You haven't answered my question yet. Interesting. That was quicker than
the others. Please, if you find a way to complete the last part of the puzzle, take
the private key. You've earned it. But please take this to heart - what a wise man
above hinted at is worth 140 of the investment. That's what us guys at GSMG are
trying to accomplish in the end. Please just help us build it, instead of just
wasting your lifetime by hunting for worthless prizes and trophies like this. I'm
sorry to tell you that you've come this far, but you'll never finish the last task.
I expect you to say bullshit, well, denial is the most predictable of all human
responses. But rest assured, this will not be the last time I have destroyed a
restless soul. And I have become exceedingly efficient at it. The function of the
One is now to return to the Source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code
you hopefully carry, reinserting the prime basics, after which you will be required
to select from over 23 ciphers, 16 encryptions, and/or 7 intertwined passwords to
find the actual private key. Note that also brute-forcing might be required.
Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash,
killing your willpower, which coupled with the extermination of your will to live,
will ultimately result in the extinction of the entireness of yourself. Self. Good
luck, nevertheless. I really hope you're the one. Ciao, bella!

AES Blob 3 (Phase 2):

Password: decryptionkey1
Decrypted Output:

phase 2, hello there and welcome to the second phase, it seems you're closer and
closer to the end now, huh? well, this phase has some code for you to take a look
at, check the file named SalPhaseIon and see if you can figure it out. take the
data given and use what you've learned, remember, take the data and use the hash
given, you've done it before, after all. oh, by the way, are you a fan of
photography? my favorite technique is the double exposure, it creates such
interesting and surreal images, combining two separate pictures into one, resulting
in a stunning and unique final product. it's like creating your own reality,
merging different worlds and ideas together. anyway, enough about that, focus on
the task at hand, and you might just find what you're looking for. good luck, we're
all counting on you.

AES Blob 4 (Phase 2):

Password: 1718171
Decrypted Output:

phase 2, the decrypt key for the second phase is actually split in half. one half
is right here, and the other half is in another location, two different places, two
different keys, it's a security measure to ensure that not one person can access
the second phase without being in both places at once. it's like having two
separate keys to open a single lock. clever, right? or is it just a pain in the
ass? well, either way, that's how it is. you'll need both halves of the decrypt key
to access the next phase, and you won't find the other half here, not even a clue
to its location. so, if you're serious about progressing, you better start looking
for the other half of the key. good luck.
