Image from onion1 page (1033.jpg)

1033.jpg on the onion1 page.

if you look closely at the image, there is a cicada symbol
the center bottom (Ancient of Days) image is shifted two pixels to the right, and the right image is two pixels shorter than the canvas, leaving a 2 px wide vertical and horizontal strip of 415 and 293 pixels empty.
Resolution of jpg: 1327*1427
1327 1427 3301 is prime
330172417231 is prime and the reverse (EMIRP)
Error Level Analysis of the image reveals numerous modified square regions measuring 16px x 16px. They way they are scattered and the fact that they are 256bit (16x16) makes me think that it's probably a part of the data found with outguess but it is worth noting anyway.

Notes on the meaning of the Onion1 image

The image itself is a collage.

It consists of three parts:

Supporter hands at the left and the right sides, taken from "Nebuchadnezzar", a monotype by William Blake, variant from Tate Gallery
Fragment of "Newton", a monotype by William Blake
Fragment of "The Ancient of Days" by William Blake (Copy D from the British Museum)

Nebuchadnezzar (hands)

Image

Newton

Image

This is exact source:

4,702 × 3,617 pixels
picture was used in colage in same resolution than original, no rezizing, just cropping, but it was mirrored

Artefact to which Newton's fingers point

The fragment present in the collage has been overlayed over the original

Original research

This is the cropped result:

Though the original researcher didn't realize the exact meaning of this, the following commenter did:

First row is MXXXIII which is 1033 in roman numbers.
Second row is MMMCCCI which is 3301 in roman numbers.

All you have to do is flip or rotate the image

A different analysis by "lurker" suggests that this may be a scaled-down image of a Cicada.

Image

Either way, there's some reference to Cicada placed right where the Newton's fingers are pointing.

Possible Thuillier reference

It's been noted that a similar fragment of "Newton" is used at this cover:

Pierre Thuillier, "Science et société"

Ancient of Days

Image

This is exact source:

Resolution of original is 2,057 × 2,800 pixels
Rescaled on 46,5% exactly horizontally and vertically

Superimposed Cicada logo

A Cicada logo is superimposed over this fragment in the collage.

Looks like standard logo 3301 uses. We dont have the exact source of Cicada logo. People belive that it's source is some old zoology book, but that rumor was never proven with any link.

The image on the collage looks slightly enlarged.

And horizontaly MIRRORED! (this is first time 3301 used mirrored logo. Note that Ancient days on which logo is superimposed is not mirrored but rotaed for 180°)

Best resolution logos we have are one from png XORed in 2013 and one that was used on CICADA OS for abkground in Format LSS 16

Outguess from 1033.jpg

RSA factorization of the key

That gives:

e = 65537

n = 75579125746085351644267182920580212556413102071876330957950694457000592

10248050757270234679993673844203148013173091173786572116639

(n is a long number continuing on the next line, not division of two numbers).

n is 130 decimal digits long, or 429 bit.

It was needed to factorize n.

To do that, solvers:

distributed computation amont their machines
=> http://cado-nfs.gforge.inria.fr/ Used this tool (unavailable)
used Number Field Sieve (NFS) algorithm

8 hours of factorizing, 23 hours after finding n, the factors were found.

Decrypting

Using these primes, the private key was obtained and this Perl script was used to decrypt the message.
