I was dumb. I had everything pretty soon after the puzzle was posted. I just didn't know that spacing in the encrypted text would interfere with the decoding.
Ah well, learned something interesting anyway.

Well.. at least I learned that I won't even try your puzzles in the future 👍 Damn dude 🤣😨
I'm waaaay to dumb for all this.

It's not a waste if you enjoy it, right 👍

Yes
But it give a difference between a puzzle and what was done here....
If someone would mark such a "puzzle" as "Ultra hard, don't try when you have only 30h time" or something like that ... no problem. Each one know then what he jumps into but "marked as normal puzzle" is very bad.

.. talk about a waste of time ;)
" My own words " were humorous, and in good spirit. As anyone else would realize.

This puzzle was not ultra hard. Pretty average actually. I did not solve it, indeed, but that was because of my own lack of attention.

Hello. It seems that your tool accepting only lower case characters. -_^

This is weird, considering I am using custom alphabet with upper case only letters. And since this tool is presented in zelgh's guide, I thought this is kinda ultimate. Anyway I have no idea how I would come to the idea when I should put this word in alphabet and replace duplicates, it seems to me extremely unobvious, anyway great puzzle, just not the sort that I want to solve. Thanks!

Upper case alphabet is fine. The thing is that you need lower case message for some strange reasons. However you can find out it if you'd experimented with your own codes. I'd do like that, or used another tool.

Nah, I just meant that I entered the custom alphabet in cryptii using upper case letters. And still yes, for whatever reason it doesn't work with it. Moreover, I thought it'd be good if I try to make my own Polybius square-like table 6x6(and actually spent about an hour, introspecting how is this cipher work), but never did, thinking tools would do better than me. Looking forward to your another puzzle, wondering whether I manage to solve that or not 🧐

There are a lot of different online tools for decrypting this cypher. But, for my opinion, the most convenuient is this one. You can use any other though.
It seems that I got stuck because the tool created inconsistencies for the correct answer.
Sometimes such tools are hampered in acquiring use by the search of the language area.
It's an Earthling conspiracy.
...I got stuck on the same problem.XD
Although there were enough boxes within boxes to make me suspect malware or viruses masquerading as puzzles.
A long time ago, there was a nightmare trap where the files became very large when unzipped.
[A better zip bomb💣]()
This knowledge caused me to withdraw after two hours. :(
However, it would be a relatively interesting puzzle. :)

Only after posted solution I found my mistake. When I were extracting parts of message I copied one of the parts two times. And I never did this step again, only tried different combinations in future steps. Silly me.

lol, I got stuck on the easiest part of the puzzle. I never thought to click on the image because you normally can't click on images on ITH. Instead I immediately did what I usually do when trying to investigate an image, I right clicked and selected "copy image address". Then I used that address to go directly to the image site, check exif data, or reverse image search.
Also, I thought I might have found something when I saw these values in the exif data because I noticed that they are the same character layout as sgtools giveaways, but they all went nowhere. Now I am curious why these are the same as sgtools giveaway URLs.

Edit: I just found this. I guess it's a commonly used way to give a unique ID to things. I just recognize it as a sgtools thing because that is the only place I know it from.

Hello friends! I recently discovered a new group. Quite an interesting performance. But perhaps there is more behind this.
Here, take a look.
Hint 1: If you are looking for the key, you should know 2 things. First one is that you actually need two keys. Second one is that everyone (who knows about puzzle) can see those keys.
Hint 2: If you have a message, but don't know what to do with it, just ask that man you see. He managed to solve it once
Hint 3: If you see nothing inside, maybe you should open it like a box?
Solution: There is a symbols in youtube link after 2nd "=" - qEKaF7Ze. Leads you here.

Thanks for participating and congratulations for all solvers. It was my first puzzle here, but not the last. Feel free to ask your questions.
P.S. Привет моим русскоговорящим друзьям, а так же пираньям из группы "Халява".
