Anyone willing to point me in the right direction on a puzzle I'm working on?
>>
Its a geocaching puzzle that involves multiple ciphers, and I'm stuck at a clue that seems to point to a SPnetwork.
This is output from a checkerboard cipher-
ggsortkaorossonontcvtnoodntvattprcrspsp
>>
The next clue suggests squares or boxes, and the letters S,P

I'm solving for xx.xxx, yy,yyy- so I backed up a step, and divided the input to the checkerboard to get-GGRTORONCXONTUPRSP and
OSKAOSSONTBTODBATCRSP
there is a clue that deals with case sensitivity, so I've used a number base converter to input the letters as base64, but this SP network is over my head
>>
the next clue seems to suggest keeping your lines straight, so I've been leaning towards the Rijndael s-box as wiki describes it involves an affine transformation that I think would satisfy the "keep your lines straight" clue

The puzzle was made to be solved, so I don't think he went too crazy with the encryption.
I've spent some time with pencil and paper using the binary output from the base converter and a basic s-box, but also reading as much as I can find and ran into the Rijndael hex table: pic related
my question to someone with better eyes for this stuff- Am I looking in the right direction with the Rijndael idea?
But really, any advice/ideas are appreciated

DES is so fucking easy, fuck off brainlet

Eye see

Thanks asshole-I'm trying to learn shit

Fun fun

Will someone explain why >>7963705 this polite gentleman is sure this is DES and not AES?
