 		I hope they get AR to post some more messages that might give us the clues they would have used to get us to the SOTA site and the countdown since I know that we are ahead of what they wanted.

 		I work as a Systems Administrator at an Imaging Science college. I actually asked a student about stegdetect and some image manipulation.

Check out some free software called ImageJ.

To see image noise and such, run an FFT from the Process Menu and it will give you this neat noise raitoed graph. Take the paintbrush tool and edit the graph and then run an inverse FFT on it. It will recompile the image with the areas of the noise graph you edited out gone. It allows for portions of the image to stand out more and for you to see things that you have not seen in the image before but were there.

 		I did work on the background of the countdown page. No luck. Nothing worth reporting.

 		Okay, so I'm giving up on structure.jpg for now. Here is the breakdown of my fruitless endeavor:

    -Downloaded structure.jpg from the Halo3.com screenshots page.

    -Ran Stegdetect for jphide and was give a positive result.

    -Ran jpseek from the command line and from Jphswin (gui) and could not obtain any positive results, though using the password 117649 returns output of "file not completely recovered. All other password variants returned "password incorrect."

Appreciated Urk.

Did you try variations of 117xxx with numbers from Halo canon?

No, I did not. I did however, attempt to affix additional characters to the tail end (117649AR, 117649Adjutant, etc.) with no luck. "Password Incorrect."

 		Hrmm. Warthog hidden message?
Does any one remember a couple months back when Bungie released a rotateable Quick time file of the warthog. And when you spun it there was a broken, hidden message at the bottom.

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGwarthog


when you spin the warthog clock wise every couple of degrees a message appears at the bottom. At the time of this things release nothign was thought of the stuff at the bottom.

I thought it was worth mentioning

here are the messages as they are broken up

X.XX.713 gh
host.7
713/non
n-auth/a
activity
y ongo
oing

Strung together - X.XX.713 Ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing

** Pure speculation**
I tried a couple different combinations of this in the web browser and i couldnt find anything. As well as adding the .712 onto the IP adress that is associated with this game. When they released this rotateble image people saw this and nothing came up of it. maybe you all can find something in here.

 		IP addresses do not access anything above 255 in each field of the IP address, so 713 would not be anything that someone could put into an IP address.

 		Avery mentioned solving things by using Ockhams' Razor...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor

"All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one."

Clearly a clue, but we have so much info right now that we might not know what it pertains to.

Now that is interesting... another user and myself both posted yesterday that using John 117 provided the file not completely recovered message. so it'd seem that numbers may be the way to go...
