Encoding card. Python's standard library encoded these strings while the card was written. Nothing below is an observed CyberChef result. Alphabets, reused from Stage 04 Hex digits are 0-9 and a-f. Standard Base64 uses A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, and = for padding. Worked input NmU2Zjc0NjU= Outer layer: Base64 of the hex text 6e6f7465 Those hex digits are the ASCII bytes of: note Recipe order for this input: From Base64, then From Hex Predicted output: note Activity input 6c616e65 The characters are hex digits, and the length is even. One operation: From Hex Predicted output: lane ASCII map for the activity: 6c=l, 61=a, 6e=n, 65=e. Use the map to check your one-layer prediction. Field input NjQ2NTczNmI= This string is Base64 of hex text. It contains = and letters outside the hex digits.
