THE RED TRIANGLE
Do you remember when I said that a lot of puzzles or what we called Alternate Reality Games can be found in the Dark Web, the most famous among all of them is Cicada 3301 but little known to some there are a lot of ARG existed after their emergence and some are quite similar like the infamous RED TRIANGLE?
What is it? Red Triangle, an internet challenge or according to some as well it is an alternate reality game(ARG) that began in late November 2017 and presumably associated with Cicada 3301. The name comes from a sinister image of the red triangle on top of each puzzle-like what is shown in the photo.
It all started with the fact that November 19, 2017, on the Internet when the first Chapter of the puzzle "Red triangle". The user has published a series of hexadecimal ciphers on a YouTube channel Defango, which was the link that led to the first Chapter of the red Triangle puzzle. The name of the user to which this YouTube has been registered and the account looked like 0a 0a, also the account was full empty. There was no content on it.
Now about the theories about the red triangle. Some believe that the puzzle "Red Triangle" connected with the interactive Internet challenge Cicada 3301. Certainly, there are some similarities, however, in it, there is a completely different style and feel, much darker, creepier, and more sinister.
Some of the differences between the original Cicada 3301 puzzles are that Red Triangle is different models, much more than hexadecimal text, handwritten ciphers and red triangles as a logo and Red Triangle has a much darker tone because it refers to murder, the infamous Redrum(Red Room), serial killers, and killers, and also consistently used the sinister manner of filing in red and black.
Some say that the Red Triangle is an organization that is either associated with Cicada 3301 or is it? Though still not confirmed that Red Triangle is part of the Cicada 3301 puzzle, many it is believed that this is due to its complexity. The Red Triangle gives a reference or connection to the serial murderers, positioning themselves according to some participants as a puzzle similar to the Zodiac Killer's cipher since the cipher of Chapter 3 includes many symbols of the Zodiac 340 Cipher.
The puzzle is divided into what can be called chapters. Some of them have separate sub-chapters from the chapters. At this point, you will notice that each Chapter it's getting a lot harder with the increase. Chapter 1 was very simple, consisting mainly of the so-called Masonic ciphers, Chapter 2 was to work with sound transcript, slow and reversed. Chapter 3, nobody figured it out. Because the whole process is broken down into the chapters are probably worth expecting as you progress through them there will be more and every Chapter gets harder and harder, weeding out people who can't continue. Now about the people behind the puzzle "Red Triangle" different parts of the puzzle slipped a couple of names like Red Man and Red Riddler.
They look like the aliases of those who stand behind this puzzle. The name Red Riddler was found in the source code, the main page is from Chapter 3, and the name is Red Man it was found in the metadata of the Q.mp3 audio file.
What do you think? Do you want other ARGs to be exposed?
