Bit Message

Bit Message

The Bit Message is a message that is hidden within the lines of an octet stream and it is represented as a hexadecimal string which has maximum length of 149 octets. The first 9 octets of the message contain the header for the message and the rest comprise the content . The header contains 1 type octet, 7 timestamp octets, and 1 message length octet. The content contains a maximum of 140 octets and could be packed with either 7 bit, 8 bit or 16 bit. 7 bit packed messages have a length of 160 characters, 8 bit packed messages have a length of 140 characters, and 16 bit packed messages will only have a length of 70 characters.

Here are some details on the structure of a bit message:

HEADER # OCTET DESCRIPTION







TYPE 1 contains specific flag for specific format identifier








DETAIL





Bit 0-1 : reserved message class meaning

Bit 2-3 : message encoding


Bit 3 Bit 2 Pack



0 0 7 bit



0 1 8 bit



1 0 16 bit



1 1 reserved








Bit 4 : reserved flag message class meaning

Bit 5 : reserved message is compressed or uncompressed

Bit 6-7 : reserved general data coding














TIMESTAMP 7 contains specific swapped nibbles for specific format identifier







DETAIL





Octet 1 YEAR e.g. 10 for 2001

Octet 2 MONTH e.g. 10 for Jan

Octet 3 DAY e.g. 10 for 01








Octet 4 HOUR e.g. 10 for 01

Octet 5 MINUTE e.g. 10 for 01

Octet 6 SECOND e.g. 10 for 01








Octet 7 TIMEZONE e.g. 80 for 08 x 15 / 60 = +2


The Time Zone is GMT format, expressed in quarters of an hour. In the first of the two semi-octets, the first bit represents the algebraic sign of this difference (0 : positive, 1 : negative)

















LENGTH 1 maximum characters allowed is 160, 140 or 70 characters depends on message packed format






































Input data: A hexadecimal string that is a bit message (unicode).

Output data: A list containing the timestamp, length of message and the message itself. The message is unicode.

CheckiO Extensions

CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.

In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)

Install CheckiO Client first:

pip3 install checkio_client

Configure your tool

checkio --domain=py config --key=

Sync solutions into your local folder

checkio sync

(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)

checkio serv -d

Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon

checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium

Read more here about other functionality that the checkio client provides. Feel free to submit an issue in case of any difficulties.
