Decode / Solution
Two sheep, a quilt, and a clock.
The pattern of the quilt is very regular, it is easy to associate with the barcode, and it should be like “two” barcodes superimposed.
My first thought was to find a tool that can recognize barcodes to parse it, and use photoshop or screenshot tools to capture the horizontal and vertical barcodes, respectively, and then use the tools to easily identify them.
However, three barcode analysis tools were tried directly for image recognition, and no valid conclusion was reached. So I started to try to parse it manually.
The bar code consists of multiple bars and spaces with different widths. The thinnest bar (or blank) is recorded as 1 in width, and the other bars or blanks are several times the width of 1.
At first, I tried to see the width values of the two colors alternately in order. After two attempts, it didn’t work well. It took a while to look at the eyes. Later, I thought of a way to look at only one color at a time, and look at the two barcodes a total of four times. This way, it is relatively smooth to record the value of the barcode width.
Horizontal barcode width numbers from left to right are
| 2112321122144211121224111241121224111212412412111112421341112411121122141421121 |
The first 6 digits are 211232Start Code C, which is a Code128 encoded barcode, so this should be a Code128C standard barcode.
According to the Wikipedia Code128 entry, a Code128 standard barcode consists of 6 parts: blank area, start tag, data area, check character, terminator, and blank area. Wherein said front 6 211232 is one of the start markers. The final terminator should be 2331112 7 digits, but the end of the horizontal bar code obtained above is not this, indicating that we need to continue to parse the vertical bar code.
Should vertical bar codes be viewed from the bottom up or top? From the direction of the original image, after the original image is rotated 90 ° clockwise, you can get pictures of the sheep head, bedside, and alarm clock facing up. Look at it.
Vertical barcode with numbers from bottom to top are
| 212411421121411221341112411121122141241121224111212411211241241212 121232331112 |
The end of the 2331112conformance to the Code128 standard terminator.
Combining two strings of numbers is
| 2112321122144211121224111241121224111212412412111112421341112411121122141421121212411421121411221221111111121122141241121224111212411211241241212121122331121 |
According to the definition of Code128, every 6 digits are divided into a group, converted into the corresponding Code128C value, and then converted into the corresponding ASCII character according to this value.
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | 211232 112214 69 e 421112 87 w 122411 72 h 124112 84 t 122411 72 h 121241 82 r 241211 75 k 111242 80 p 134111 79 o 241112 78 n 112214 69 e 142112 73 i 121241 82 r 142112 73 i 141122 67 c 134111 79 o 241112 78 n 112214 69 e 124112 84 t 122411 72 h 121241 82 r 121124 65 a 121241 82 r 212123 30> 2331112 |
Remove the check character, the original barcode string is
| 6987728472827580797869738273677978698472826582 |
If you are interested, you can use this string to generate a Code128 format barcode and compare it with the original image to see if it is consistent.
And the converted string is
ewhthrkponeiriconethrar
Convert according to thr = 3 and one = 1
ewh3kp1iric13ar
But this does not conform to the format commonly used by Passcode.
After that, read the dictionary, oneirica word. ONEIRIC is a keyword for ingress, (see here at github for the list of keywords: keywords.txt , line 301 has ONEIRIC which is a synonym of Dream)
Hence, here, the oneis not replaced by 1.
The converted Passcode should be
ewh3kponeiric13ar
ewh3kponeiric13ar
