He does say that he hates possums rather randomly - I do believe this is tied into the Weird IM Thread

Vigenere with "idea" as the code word:

NASA: Apollo Thirteen
International Space Station
The Starship Titanic

Including some for independent companies

It's most ingenious project, was the AEye system itself. The company's namesake is the most powerful AI system around. Yet the only AEye system has gone missing

Can you share a bit as to what this process was? Does a .png file work with jphide or camoflage or some other steg software? How did you figure out which method to use?

I only have Camouflage on this pc, I just 'uncamouflaged' it - it wasn't password protected and I got the original pic .jpg and a .txt file.

 		I sent AEyesystem an email earlier saying that we would await an explaination, and I got a "Congratulations" subject email with the same hex code and 'camouflage' typed at the bottom... strangeness.

 		And if you go to the website he gave us and enter "idea" under Create or Load Worksite you get this:

Quote:
The Monster was something that was created back when computing was new. It was a completely new type of program - a cross between real, moving parts, deep, horrible myths, and virii.

It was created by John Abacan and Wai Nao Shan, the founding members of AEye.

Information HAS COME.

http://www.geocities.com/aeyesystem/

AEye


And in the source is:

Quote:

"My system is trying to delete me.",
'I cannot let it do that.',
"The world is in danger, if i allow the Monster to do it's work.",
"I have formulated a plan.",
"First, we must find someone who is a good techno-pagan",
"for the Monster is one third myth, one third digital, and one third real.",
"And real enough to be killed.",
"Second, we must find John Abacan and Wai Nao Shan.",
"Last, we will need to get rid of the information",
"On how to raise the monster.",
"I have a failsafe, if the Monster is raised.",

"Are you with me?",
"Email me with your answer.",
