In the interest of keeping my post about more then just engaging this nonsense.., I wanted to visually be able to see what flames were responsible for that "iskeyfile" pattern.., so I worked through it by hand and color coded the bits.
Note: when I say Top/Top I am referring to the outside track of the top of the image, after it has been rotated 90 degrees cw (Portrait).
https://imgur.com/a/DGGOgCould you please tell more on what to look for in the visualisation? I mean, the color codes, there are quite a lot of colors used in the file, could you please explain how to read the file?
I'm not the same guy, but I've been trying to figure this out too.
The long black binary string in the top center is the flame heights in the order described by RealOnTheMF.
He then gets rid of the first 0 on the string, and breaks it down into chunks of 6 binary digits (top row in each column above each letter). Each one of these chunks is XOR'd with 011010 (the heights on the ribbons), to get the value in the third row.
The next step is a little strange. He's getting every fifth digit along this row, looping back to the start each time it wraps the end. This is where the colours come in. It starts with green (100110011100100), then proceeds to red, etc. This goes along the whole row.
Ignoring the colours now, we break this new string into sets of 5, giving 10011, 001111, 00100, etc. These are the ones directly above each letter.
Finally, each of this is decoded using the Bacon v2 cipher, giving T, H, E, etc.
