di postingan sebelumnya, yaitu yang ini

saya membahas mengenai steganografi dan menuliskan sebuah pesan tersembunyi di dalam informasi yang saya tulis. Nah, sekarang buat yang pengen tahu (kaya ada yang pengen tau :P), ini mau cerita gimana cara mendapatkan pesan tersembunyi nya.. Sebenernya gampang banget, cupu malah steganografi nya gak kaya temen sekelas pada pake gambar, RGB lah, lagu, frekuensi lah,, ini mah gampang ko ;)

Oke. Saya menulis “ beside steganografi, i’ll tell you some about 10 bands that i like ;) -list sorted alphabetically-“, lalu di bawahnya saya berikan informasi mengenai 10 band tersebut dengan secuil history dari mereka.

CLUE nya ada pada : 1. Nama band dan 2. Angka

Uda kebayang kan? Jangan-jangan pengen coba nebak lagi? Yauda kalo masih penasaran jangan dibaca ke bawah dulu ajaa dan balik lagi ke postingan stegano :D

Nah, jadi yang perlu kita lihat adalah nama 10 band tersebut, ayo kita list,,

1.  30 second to mars

2. Alesana

3. Anberlin

4. Escape the Fate

5. Funeral for a Friend

6. Kings of Convenience

7. Saosin

8. Senses Fail

9. The Used

10. We the Kings

lalu clue yang ke-2 adalah angka. Di dalam cerita history mereka, saya beberapa kali menyebutkan angka, numbers, tapi ada yang ditulis dengan alfabet (misalkan first, five) dan ada yang ditulis dengan angka (1st, 2nd, 6, 12). Abaikan yang ditulis dengan menggunakan alfabet, dan ambil yang ditulis dengan angka, lalu kita bisa menuliskan angka tersebut di samping band yang bersesuaian dengan informasinya.

1.  30 second to mars : 8, 16

2. Alesana : 2, 13, 3

3. Anberlin : 3, 9

4. Escape the Fate : 14, 11

5. Funeral for a Friend : 2, 2

6. Kings of Convenience : 1, 1, 14

7. Saosin : 5, 8, 4

8. Senses Fail : 9, 5, 15, 12, 10

9. The Used : 8, 7

10. We the Kings : 5, 6

sekarang kita punya nama band dengan angka yang kelihatannya random banget ya,,tapi sebenernya gak.

Ini salah saya juga kurang ngasih clue untuk step ke-3, tapi ya inilah cara mecahinnya, setelah dapet urutan angka berdasarkan kemunculan, pisahkan angka pertama dengan angka sisanya.

Angka pertama menunjukkan huruf ke berapa dari nama band tersebut yang akan digunakan untuk membangun pesan tersembunyi.

Angka sisanya, menunjukkan posisi urutan huruf tersebut pada pesan tersembunyi..

Gampang kan? so, can you find the hidden message? ;)

festive sound 2010

 

ok, so yesterday i went to LA Lights Indiefest Festive Sound 2010

after 2 days struggling trying to figure out how to take my two free tickets from the Quiz. huh,

i honestly felt that the official -the one that dealt with Quiz and polling winner- from the event wasn’t professional, at all. Let say it was “him” -the official-. He told all of us the winner of the quiz and polling located in Bandung should get the ticket on Friday, between 11 am till 2 pm at some hotel in hegarmanah. Since i had a mid test exam at 3 pm, me and my friends -i won the quiz, she won the polling-, dealt that we would took the ticket at 11 am. So, 10 o’clock i came to my campus, prepare the document for taking the tickets, and went there. You know what happened? He wasnt there, at all. We called and he said to come back to the hotel between 1-2 pm. Ok, i was rushing to get back to campus because i havent study at all -i know, awesome-. And then i studied, and at 1.30 went to the hotel again. This time i went alone. I get there 1.45 and waited til 2.45, i didn’t call because my cellphone for some reason couldn’t do a phone call. But i did message him, and he said “I would be there in 10 minutes, sorry :(“, “Ok, i’m already at the parking lot”, “I will only wait till 2 o’clock”. bummer.

till i left at 2.45 his nose didnt even show up. and you know, i dont know why but i had this feeling to brought my subject notes’ with me before i went to the hotel, but i didnt because i had this positive assumption of him, that he would be there and wouldn’t made all of us -the winner that wanted to exchange for their ticket wasn’t just me, you know- waiting for his arrival. and my assumption failed me. URGH

as you might already guessed, i went to campus, havent studied at all -of course since i left my notes at campus, NICE positive assumption you made huh-, and left the hotel with feelings of anger and annoyance. i arrived on time for the exam, and it went faaaaaaaaaaaar away from well -the test was all about memorizing the material, and i havent studied ok?-. after that i called him -the official- to asked about the ticket, and he said “sorry, how about tomorrow at the venue? from 12 to 2 pm at the ticket box. sorry earlier i was pray, then eat, then take a walk -HELLO??- , and then i got to the hotel and there were already a lot of people.” s***w y. 

for Saturday, i already had plans you know? i would drove my family go around anywhere, but he said that he would only accept the exchange at 12-2 pm. ok. so at 1.45 i went to the venue -without any intention to went in because i would come in the afternoon-, walked to the ID online exchange venue, and got my ticket. and you know what it looked like? it looked like a bunch of excess flyer that they had, and they just add a stamp at the upright corner that says “invitation valid for 1 person”. EEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW -should have been better than that-

 so, did you see why i called him -the official- UNPROFESSIONAL ? hey, although we got all the tickets for free, he shouldn’t treated us like that. if i wanted to i can buy the ticket by myself, it wasnt a problem at all. buy 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. bummer. he made us wait and gave time limitation while it wasnt mean a thing. because Friday he said 11-2pm, i was there and he wasnt, Saturday he said 12-2pm, but the booth for exchanging ticket was still open till late night during the event. what was the point of me went to got the ticket before 2pm and dropped my family without picked them up again? he sure know how to make people upset. and you know about his message ? you can read above, i already wrote them down and you see, he didnt say the truth. when i called? he answered while not exposing any signs of guilty or shame. ewww

thank God when i got the ticket i didnt have to see him at all, i just have to dealt with some official at the booth -a women-. phuihhh

ok, now i got the ticket -ticket would cost you IDR 50.000, but mine it was free-, all i did then was eat, waited for my companion and went to SABUGA. forget about the incident and just watched all the performance. yay

we walked in and went straight to stage 1, physcofun -indiefest 2009 finalist- was in, the mc was yas budaya from alone at last*. rain fell down and we decided to went in the building. before the stage 3 there was this booth for official band merchandise, i bought myself a T-shirt from efek rumah kaca for IDR 65.000. went in and there it was, the stage 3. i watched lars -also an indiefest 2009 finalist-, and then EFEK RUMAH KACA. they played beautifully, although still, i didnt know all of their song but i can tell you that was it, they played neatly and beautifully. :)

i dont remember the order but i think i watched gecko -another finalist-, and then it was break time for maghrib. we were starving and we bought mr.moo burger, yummy. we bought cheese burger for IDR 15.000 and smokey burger for IDR 14.000. while we were eating we watched  scared of bums, and dharma -those are finalists too-. we were filled to capacity and then we went to stage 1 again, there was electrico -band from Singapore-, i thought they were pretty good, the vocalists has some deep voice, calming. their song has wide variety of music. from one song to another the atmosphere/mood was changed too.. the guitarist, cute, reminded me to this Thailand guy who played at Alone and starred some P*nd’s advertisement. the bassist, funny, haha.

then we moved along to the banery. “salam dasi kupu-kupu”. i was amazed at how nice they sounded. they did some vocal harmonization which proved that all of them can sing. they sound good and their songs were funny -in my ear-. the vocalist, when he sang, it seemed effortless, i wonder how he did that. hmmm

after the banery my feet was killing me so we chose to sit. camera obscura then performed. their songs, hmm, reminded me to kings of convenience.. slow and comforting sounds. they were nice. and then the night ends and we got home.

pretty tired but it was worth it since i got the ticket for free, hahaha. btw, still, thanks for the free ticket from http://www.lalightsindiefest.com. and all the official who make the event possible, please consider the story above as an evaluation though, hopefully it is a constructive criticism.

still for buying ticket and watch live concert, i prefer to watch some rockin’ music and stuff..  so i can rockin’ sing and jump :D 

oh, i had planned to buy Copeland ticket on Monday. see you all on 8th May ;)

12 Maret 2010

yaaaph another keamanan informasi.. :D

terakhir di kelas kita mempelajari mengenai steganografi dan kriptografi.

Steganografi adalah art atau science dalam menuliskan pesan tersembunyi, menyembunyikan pesan seolah-olah pesan tidak ada. Sedangkan kriptografi adalah practice dan studi dalam menyembunyikan informasi. Bisa bedain keduanya ato bingung?

Dalam steganografi orang akan melihat seolah-oleh tidak ada pesan tersembunyi sama sekali karena pesan telah disembunyikan sedemikian rupa, sedangkan pada kriptografi orang tahu ada sebuah pesan yang berisi suatu informasi, tetapi pesan tersebut dirubah sedemikian rupa sehingga isi asli dari pesan tidak akan diketahui oleh orang lain selain pengirim dan penerima pesan tersebut.

Kita fokus sama steganografi yaa. jadi steganografi ini mengandung informasi yang tetap bisa dibaca oleh orang tetapi memiliki pesan atau informasi lain yang terkandung di dalamnya, jadi memang orang tidak menyadari adanya pesan tersembunyi di balik pesan yang mereka lihat.

yaa secara garis besar segitu mengenai steganografi dan kriptografi.

beside steganografi, i’ll tell you some about 10 bands that i like ;) -list sorted alphabetically-
