Encryption Resources
Unknown or mystery geocaches often use encryption to obscure a set of coordinates
or a message. The geocacher must figure out what encryption method is used in the
puzzle and then crack the code. This page will collect various encryption resources

Reverse Image Lookup via TinEye
Some puzzle caches present pictures or photos of unknown objects or locations and knowing more
about the photos can help solve the challenge. Upload the picture to TinEye and it will scour the web
looking for the same image and then tell you what site or sites that image came from. This is often all
you'll need to figure out the puzzle. A very helpful and ingenious tool for a very specific type of
puzzle cache!
