SombraARG Scripts and Data Collections

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/kimdcottrell/sombra.git
bundle install

And boom, you should have everything. I'm currently working in irb but I plan on writing up scripts for things we've already done. This is very much a work in progress.

What is this?

Currently, this just contains some REALLY helpful gems and a data dump module of everything "Sombra" has given us thus far, as well as the entire Numani Arrival flight list.

You can access the module vars with:

DataDump::TRACER_HASH_NEWLINES # string
DataDump::TRACER_HASH # string
DataDump::ANA_ORIGIN # hash
DataDump::FLIGHT_LIST # array of hashes
DataDump::FLASHING_LIGHTS # hash of arrays

Do you have any working scripts?

Why yes! Make sure the script directory is executable via:

chmod -R 755 ./script

Then run any of these:

# CONFIRMED SOLUTIONS TO PREVIOUS ARGS
./script/solution/1_ana_origins.rb # printf of both frame messages
./script/solution/2_dev_blog_barcodes.rb # printf of raw QR code binary - make 1's black and 0's white for final result

# GUESSES FOR CURRENT (4th) ARG
./script/arg_guesses/arg2_rot23_hexmash_into_qr_binary.rb # ROT23 the barcode hash and then try to make a QR binary
./script/arg_guesses/tracer_hash_to_bitmap.rb # takes the tracer hash and makes a gif of it
./script/arg_guesses/test_flightboard.rb # various attempts to get something from the Numani flight list

Gemfiles and Rbenv

The .ruby-version file is referencing rbenv. If you aren't already using it, I definitely recommend it. https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv#choosing-the-ruby-version

I'm pretty sure everything I will write in this repo will work in ruby 1.9+ though, so maybe you don't need 2.3.1

The Gemfile is referencing the bundler gem and if you're not using bundler and am working with ruby I am impressed by your patience. http://bundler.io/

Working in irb

So Ruby 1.9.2+ is troll AF and assumes that the current working directory should not be part of your LOAD_PATH. This means that if you work in irb and type require 'data_dump' you'll get a big fat error that looks like this:

irb(main):003:0> require "DataDump"
LoadError: cannot load such file -- DataDump

You can get around this by starting irb with any of the following:

irb
require './module/data_dump'

OR

irb
irb(main):003:0> require_relative 'module/data_dump'

OR

irb -I .
irb(main):001:0> require 'module/data_dump'
