But for what is this password for?

I am really confused right now. I have gone throught the binary codes, tried to solve other stuff, the riddle the sudoku. But for what is that password for? For the pic below the sudoku? Or for something else?

Another link can be found in the sourcecode of the page:

http://m3ps.blogspot.ca/p/m3ps.html

On this site is an image, MainScreen.jpg




and a new countdown, pointing to August 29th, 2013.

As for now, the Futoshiki riddle is unsolved, but there is an update for the site found in the sourcecode.

New picture: Main_Screen.jpg with unreadable binaries on the screen:




Below this picture is another one, hidden in the black area:




Binary in the filename decodes to: Why?

The Picture itself reads

Code:
A Defrayals Myself Nth Knots Vow


Maybe this is an anagram and can be used as a password in Mobilefish?

The binaries on the screen are really difficult to read. I found some but they make no sense at all. ANd I am really bad with photos.
Letting that aside, I tried the text given in the pic as pw for the screen image but it didn't work. Tried only the capitals, left them out, merged them etc etc.

Once again the site was updated:



On clicking this image shows up:



The hint in this pic says:

Code:
Think of the man you knew once.
A man who is lost, soon to be found by the child not yet born.

He hides in the answer you seek. Now where will he fall?
This solves the anagram.

It's solution is hidden here. Use it to see inside the mirror.



This picture links to a password protected 7zip file:

Now we need to use the hints to solve the riddles.

I'm running a 7-zip password cracker on the archive because I'm a cheater.
I'll tell you if I get any conclusive results.

Site was updated again. The link http://m3ps.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_5.html contains a new picture. The only difference seems to be the bottom of the picture dripping down.


Direct link


With another picture in the black space below:



this is another binary url

Which decodes to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Where will he fall?


The hint says:
Code:
He is a man assosiated with a certain color.
Remember, all you've answered will return again.
The solution lies in the last. Who is the man I seek?




A man associated with a certain color probably refers to the "yellow man" mentioned previously. (Though could refer to the "man who's eyes burn green" with envy)

The anagram A Defrayals Myself Nth Knots Vow contains the letters yellow man, leaving DfraasysefthKnotsV remaining.

Maybe those letters have to do with where he will "fall"? Does falling mean dying? Literally falling over? Something falling into place? Turning evil?


Also, the previous anagram turned out to be Asimovs child find man of envy. Which sounds like the child found a man (the man who is lost?)

"The solution lies in the last." The last thing solved but not used was the "emergent" thing. There's still the Futoshiki riddle that hasn't been fully solved either.

Actually, the Futoshiki riddle was solved in a thread on /x/ a week ago.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


and the combined password was
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
emergent_232451


which, when used as a decipher on the blurred image on mobilefish, led us to this:

Asimov

I think the answer has something to do with New york city, since thats where Asimov died.

Oh cool, I had no idea the Futoshiki was solved, that's pretty neat.

I've been working on the riddle/anagram (A Defrayals Myself Nth Knots Vow) some more. I've found that the anagram can become:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
man of envy falls towards the sky
or
man of envys fall towards the sky


But that phrase doesn't seem to work as the password to the 7zip file, so maybe it's something else. I've tried replacing spaces with underscores and dashes, and just leaving out the spaces as well, and those didn't work either.


It may have something to do with New York (no City because there's no C). But if it does, you can't use the words "yellow man" or "man of envy."

I don't know whether this is relevant, but I did some searching and Asimov's autobiography is titled "In Memory Yet Green", coming from a poem Asimov claims he wrote himself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Memory_Yet_Green

Maybe this has something to do with it?

New image on: http://m3ps.blogspot.ca/p/m3ps.html





Direct link


Looks like a picture/poster of a person was added. There are foosteps leading to the poster and a handprint (with only 4 fingers) along the wall. It says ME and of on their chest (Man of Envy perhaps?), Capital below the person, and then some smaller text I can't read below that.
