The following message has been encrypted using a total of 6 different methods.

Can you decipher the original message?




E8EBB8E8B8BB02B8BA8EBA3AA05DDC5717475DC75D




Hint for First Step:




Maybe if you dealt with this the way only Siths do




Hint for Second Step:




Now everyone should get close and comfy (this step isn't necessarily an encryption, but needed for the next)




Hint for Third Step:




Thank you for the tea, Dot, but I really must dash now!




Second Hint for the Third Step:




If you inspect the binary, there are either single ones or zeroes, triple ones or zeroes, or 6 zeroes. What could they represent?




Hint for Fourth Step:




This one should be easy if you've got this far




Hint for the Fifth Step:




Decay Unluckily




Hint for the Sixth Step:




I'm all in a muddle now!

    Will it be clear after each decryption step that you have made progress? If no where there be any hints?

Step 1 & 2:




So there are always two Siths, suggesting a conversion of the string to binary and concatenation:

111010001110101110111000111010001011100010111011000000101011100010111010100011101011101000111010101000000101110111011100010101110001011101000111010111011100011101011101




Step 3:




Convert it to morse code. In general, there are 1s making up dashes, and dots, and 0s making up pauses. Normally 3 1's makes a dash, although in one instance there are 2 1's doing this which could mean all kinds of things, but I'm going to assume is a dot (since this makes sense when I get to the end!). This implies the following words:
NYNAR ULCB JURYC

The first word could also be NYNAW (if the 2 1s are a dash) or NYNAL (if the 2 1s are two dots), but trust me on this one for now!




Step 4 & 5:




The "obvious" thing to do is a rot13. This makes "ALANE HYPO WHELP". These are all words, and of course, "decay unluckily" probably means rot13 (since 13 is an unlucky number)




Step 6:




An anagram of "ANANE HYPO WHELP" is, of course, "HAPPY HALLOWEEN". So that's the answer
