Not detecting base32 encoded string

[Adamkadaban]

Ah, I think I just didn't copy the initial string correctly. Sorry about that

Hey @Adamkadaban,

I found the CTF challenge and the Base32 decoding works just fine.

You know, the tears of one's enemies works lovely in tea. Turns out, there's tons of different bases for tea. In fact, I think I heard Delphine talk about this chef website she used for her tea base combinations...

Oh! Speaking of which, GIANt wants Delphine to make him tea... all he has is the tea leaves and the cup though. Maybe you can help Delphine, since she's really busy with cooking other things?

This was the challenge right? And yes the first encoding is Base32

I just gave it to basecrack and it detected and decoded it correctly:

$ python3 basecrack.py -b O53GG4CSJRHEWQT2GJ5HC4CGOM4VKY3SOZGECZ2YNJTXO6LROV3DIR3CK4ZEMWCDHFMTOWSXGRSHU23DLJVTS5BXOQZXMU3ONJSFKRCVO5BEGVSELJSGUNSYLI2XQ32UOI3FKWDYMJQWOMKQOJ4XIU2WN5KTKWT2INUW44SZONGUUN2BMFRTQQJYKM3WGSSUNVXGEU3THFIFUSDHIVWVEQ3LJVUXEMSXK5MXSZ3TG5JXORKTMZRFIVQ= --magic

Can you please uninstall the dependencies, reinstall them and try again? Also were you using Python2?

Thank you! 🙌❤️
