Wow there is a lot of hidden stuff on those images. on the birth image, if you hold your mouse over the segment numbers appear. On the AU image, each one of the dots is a link to download an image. I am going to try some stuff with the images from the AU page. I will inform you unfictioners if I find anything.

Also the cipher on the "dnE ehT" page is a simple rot 13 it decodes to
"commence being zz". I don't know what the ZZ means but the rest makes sense.

one of the eps files, all 8 are the same

here is one of the eight pics which all seem to be the same from the password
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

They are CMYK pics saved as eps and can't be displayed here so i converted this one to jpg.

These need to be looked into deeper and I don't have time today.

Good recap there Sylvia, thank you!

For those of you interested in The Purification.org here's a few links:


http://thepurification.sequential.org/ - Forum born of the MeFi thread.

The Mefi Thread where it all started:

http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/47757#730989


And a Wiki page with recap:

http://thepurification.sequential.org/wiki/Files_on_the_site


Time is running out if we are to crack this before the final timer pops Smile

8 PICS

Comparing the hex on all eight pictures 1,2,4,5,6,7 & 8 are identical.

Picture 3 is different.

Am getting a positive for Hiderman in all images, but hiderman itself returns negative.

Using photoshop's dropper tool, the white dot on picture 3 is different to all the others.

Am running out of ideas

Your were correct about the third dot, I opened it in Adobe and zoomed in, this is what it says:

AS I END, I BEGIN ANEW
ENDLESS,CYCLIC,ETERNAL.

HALF DARK,HALF LIGHT
A PURIFYING SYMBOL.

I WAS BEFORE EGO,
GREED, WEALTH AND FAME.

SINUOUS, SERPENTINE FOUR RINGS TO MY NAME.

hope this helps.

Clue so we could figure out the next password in the sequence, if someone hadn't already cracked the flash file. it's a riddle, and the answer is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ouroboros

My guess is that most of the "hidden" things in those images are to lead us to each consecutive password. sad that we didn't get a chance to puzzle over em and have "aha!" moments discovering each.

We have the first 7 passwords, The final image is what we need to solve. (the black and white squares)


Semacode was tried I think, but the image is too small to contain info I believe.

Semacode has not been tried yet. Since I can't try it I need someone else with a smart phone or Windows OS to test it.

I tried. KGBrAm had asked me about that earlier. It's not SemaCode.

See, DataMatrix/SemaCode has to be framed like this: perimeter Example: Sema

And then there's QR Code. Like so: WikiQR2


Though it may be part of a larger matrix, by itself the image from the site is to small to be either one.

Maybe it's some sort of binary code, or Morse or something...

So this is also most likely gibberish also?

Good recap there Sylvia, that you!

For those of you interested in The Purification.org here's a few links:


your welcome, but first of all i didn't recap anything . I never read the sites you mentioned and don't intend to. I used the information in this thread to come up with what i posted here. And, if you are a true uFer then the only link you need at this point is this one http://thepurification.org

What I'm trying to say to everyone is don't post links that spoil the game. It's unfortunate that someone hacked the code that led to /cryptograph/ and it's related directories but I'm sure by now the Puppet Masters have created a way around it or they are just going to live with it. I for one, do not wish to create more work for the PMs than what is necessary.

Second and this is not being mean but goes out to all new players, this is a forum for sharing information about args not a chat room. So, I will only say this once, go here for important information and a necessary read. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=284105#284105
