Images are a different size anyway - you can make whatever letters you want fit if you move it about a bit

Hey guys and gals,
new to this board but I have been reading this among other sites that relate to the game. Looking at the first paintover pic of the little girl What is it that she is actually looking at. Going with the alice theme it could almost be a crown over a heart (the red queen), just a thought. Could be a login wherever it is that the picture is pointing us to.

nothing much

I don't get anything either - I put the jpg on top of the gif; the result is attached (as a jpg). I don't see anything there...

[yanka]

Hmm, I just thought of something different - the color noise that results from an overlay is probably different than either file by itself. Can somebody analyze that to see if there is something there? If needed, I can attach a gif as well (just tell me if I should save it as dithered or not?)

NG?

I am going to summarize a lot of previous posts here in an effort to stay focused on the stegged text, which I think is the important/only clue to be gained from the new pic--I kind of doubt there is anything in the "Congrats!" pic other than a pat on the back.

Slight change in plans.
Probably does not need interpretation.

Second verse, same as the first.
The next hack/puzzle is going to be along the same lines as the last. Also: a line from the song, "I'm Henry VIII I Am" among others (probably not relevant)

The blind transit's been plugged to the oafs
Blind transit likely refers to the process we used for downloading files without being able to get a directory listing first--blindly trying extensions. Not that it may or may not be extensions this time, but will still be blind.
"Plugged to the oafs" likely means that the the areas set up by this hacker group have been plugged to US, although plugged could mean either "blocked" or "advertised," I am going to guess they mean blocked.

Let's view it from the top
This could refer to traversing up directories. For instance, if you have a URL like sampledomain.com/archives/files/picture.gif, you can chop of bits from the end, at the slashes, to traverse up to the "files" directory and "archives" directory. This could also refer to going from individual sites (The Aquapolis, Little-Boxes, etc) to the site that overarches all of them (Underscore).

Blindly, still, but climb those stairs carefully
See above. It looks like it is going to be "blind" again, like last time. Note the usage of the antonym of our favorite word from the last hack, "carelessly." This might not be coincidence.

dub dub dub, hack and slash
Dub dub dub implies it's a www (or, rather, http) hack, as opposed to ftp or some other service. Alternately, it could refer to music, but I think we can set the probability on that pretty low.
Hack and slash could be a reference to hacking, possibly directory traversal (see the note on slashes above). It could also be combined with the www to form a website, but I believe hackandslash.*, hacknslash.*, hackslash.* have all been tried.

You'll find the way!
Hang in there, we'll figure it out!

So, there ya' go. It looks like we have a task at hand...if only we could figure it out.
