Cipher challenge Options

[Nyx]

Hey - was trying to get hold of Monkeyfriend. I'm Hazel. a maths grad from bristol now doing a crypto course, was hoping you could give me some advice on the crypto cipher challenge since you've completed it?

Have extracted the second link and have gone through the 7bit block, but am stuck at the 3rd block of hex, it doesn't transcribe to anything I've seen before?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

What games do you play here btw?

it was some government sponsored program to find crypto experts in the general public. The first part of the challenge is closed (and the answers published)

The next part for me has been delayed till September if I remember the email and I'm not eligible for the other challenges. Reminded me of the old zebulun (later sered) challenges from cyberarmy (back in the old cyberarmy.com days where website rank was based on hacking ability until it went all mincy white-hat activist meh)
