 		I'm curious to see where the OS leads to. And he tweeted about October 8th-11th.

 		OOG info
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Comments in the site's JavaScript source lead to Thorsten Kober/FlashDesignory, who in turn works for AvatarLabs, a company doing traditional, social media, and "viral" advertising for the entertainment industry (samples of their work). In a tweet from yesterday, they say they're "thrilled to have been part of the team behind the launch of Lex/OS"—that "part" being, I assume, at least the website and social media side of the campaign.

Based on the source, I'm not terribly hopeful that this will turn out very ARG-ish. From what I've found, the closest they've come to an ARG was in a viral campaign for the Dark Knight Rises trailer release back in 2012, which sent people hunting for bat symbols in the real world to unlock frames of the new trailer.

On the other hand, in their tweet, they do mention being "part of the team" behind the Lex/OS campaign. So I guess there could be something more to this.


Info from the site source
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The site's JavaScript source contains code for various pages on the LexCorp site: "home", "about", "lex-os", and "signup". While three of the four pages are already up on the site, the "signup" page doesn't seem to exist—yet? This could be for a future feature, or one that was scrapped during the development process.

Whatever the case, there's code in there to send an email address, first name, and last name to http://www.lexcorp.io/files/php/sdk/signup.php, which seems to be online and working. I've whipped up a quick page that lets you submit this info to their server, if anyone wants to try to get into whatever-this-is early.

If the signup form actually existed on the lexcorp.io site, it would show "THANK YOU FOR SIGNING UP! - WE WILL SEND YOU THE LATEST INFORMATION ON LEX/OS SOON." on a successful submission.

There's also a background_signup.jpg on the server, alongside the background images for the other pages, which isn't being used at the moment.

 		It may be nothing, but that "sphere of hexagons" thing looks a lot like the form Braniac took in the comics when he joined with Lex Luthor. I don't know if that is an intentional reference or just my nerd brain seeing things, but there you go.

Looks like this showed up about 10 days ago.

 		Interesting... the puzzles were fun.

I couldn't get the QR code on the badge to work. Anyone else?

No, but I had some thoughts about it...
During Human Preservation Project, we were sent badges in the mail that had partial QR codes on them. We had to share online and put them together to get the whole thing so we could scan it. Maybe this is similar?

I'll post a pic of mine later when I get off work.

 		Looking through tweets that people posted the QR codes appear to all be the same.

 		Has anyone tried fidgeting with it in photoshop or anything? I tried cutting it in half then placing one side on top of another but didn't have any success. I didn't play around with it too much though so wether or not there's something there I don't know.

 		New levels
New levels are out and completing them gives you Level 5 access. It still did not grant access to the files. Might be a bug.

Edit: Watching the movie will give you a login name and password if you pay attention during the credits:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
User: mgraves Pass: lexicon


Using that displays a single file that is shown immediately. Completing the tests and unlocking level 5 did not appear to unlock additional files, at least on my phone.

There is a valid IP address shown with the file contents but I get 400 errors trying to go there:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
192.169.31.2 (192.168.x.x are not public addresses so it is possible they were just guessing an address)


I'm still on my phone but will try and upload the file contents from a PC tomorrow.

 		Here is what the file page looks like with links to the individual pieces:

The ship is built up of 62 separate images from
https://www.lex-os.io/files/images/files/ship/ship_final_00.png
to
https://www.lex-os.io/files/images/files/ship/ship_final_61.png




The bottom animation is made up of 2 GIF's with one static image:

https://www.lex-os.io/files/images/files/footer/2.jpg

https://www.lex-os.io/files/images/files/footer/window_animation_02.gif


I've not been able to get anywhere with the IP address or these files so take a look and see if there is something else I'm missing.

 		Whats your opinion?
Hi guys,

I didn't like the "Lex Luthor" actor at the recent movie, what's your opinion? Confused
