 		As I said before, it's all fine and dandy that people are digging into code, but it's a little too far fetched to believe that hints and tips would be hidden in code. The games are made for one step above the lowest common denominator.

Simplest explanation is that it is possible to hide files and images within JPEG files without changing the main image.

Stegdetect is a tool that can be used to detect these hidden files and Jphide/Jpseek are examples of tools used to hide and retrieve them.

To get at the hidden files, you need to enter a passphrase. In ARGs it's generally something you have to figure out from clues that find on the web or from in game emails.


I know when I forgot some passwords to a zip file, I found a breaker that cracked the password... can you find a standalone brute force style program that will try infinite passwords until it cracks? ... Assuming there's something there, of course...


Stegdetect comes with a brute force attacker called stegbreak. It's a DOS program, and I couldn't get it to work. I was missing the dictionary file. Maybe someone with more command line experience can try to use it...


. . thing is, is that it may not be a dictionary word . . . could be something with letters and numbers like '51U5H0 Z00m!'

. . it's worth a shot though.

However, I feel that we should know what the passphrase is by now.

Some things which may help tracking down the passphrase (assuming the image, large6.jpg, has something in it and there is a passphrase):

1) What parts of the slusho website were activated on the same day as the store?

2) What were the new animations or additions to existing parts of the site when the store was activated?

3) What changes were made to the www.1-18-08.com website around that time?

I don't think they would provide a stegged pic without providng the passphrase at the same time or shortly afterwards.

I also feel that the addition of the hammer to the jellyfish/octupus thing is significant. As well as the Donkey only passing the history section once. The fish cheese thing i'm sure is important too.

I'm beginning to wonder if they (the PMs) have been throwing extra hints at us but it may be just making the situation even more confusing.

--EDIT--

So the passphrase is CORN?

 		I checked in one of those "reverse phone books" online and 727-204-8715, as found on the last page, is listed as a wireless registered in Seminole, Florida.

If we now have access to something, we should have the password now or very soon. Otherwise, why would we have access to it?

Theoretically- I'd almost bank on it being 6 chars. What with Slusho, YCOD6, hammer, mitten, etc

 		Searching the forum for octopus and hammer turned up a lot of results.

I just wanted to mention that there is a Hammer Octopus.
There are cheese fish crackers.
That donkey might be a mule, thats why he is thinking of a pot holder. Using puns?

 		wait...whut
i really hope your not implying that its illegal for me to be trying to crack this password...the day something like that stands up in court is the day i move out of the country.

 		Just as one of those niggling obvious things

Anyone tried emailing

storeSPLATslusho.jp?

I just did, no auto-responder thus far, and I'm not sure if I'm about to harass some tech support person, or if I'm about to find something IG.

That's what I was thinking. It's not like you're trying to break into someone's server; it's a jpeg (on your computer none-the-less).

Here's a slightly different reading of the bad/broken English on the Slusho! site. Specifically, I think that You Can't Drink Just Six may mean You Can't Drink; Just Six.

You= those of us reading the website.
Can't Drink= aren't allowed to "drink"...not fit, not worthy, unqualified.
Just Six= there are only six people in the world who can "drink".

The six being: Rob, Jamie, Beth, JJ, Marlena and Hudson (as has been pointed out before, each represented by a flavor of Slusho.) Lily (represented by the water lily h/t Kayberry) is the odd person out.


What about Slusho itself being 6 letters???

Or perhaps we're missing a slu"T" and sho"W"??? Sorry,,, couldn't resist that one. Laughing

But serious about Slusho 6.


Good question...made me think. On the page it's SLUSHO!...6 and 1. Smile

Thanks! Very Happy

More spec...First line from the History page at Slusho.jp: "The Slusho! story is of magic and triumph!" I think this is the movie plot being lain out for us. I've been leaning towards Slusho! being the cause of the monster, but maybe it's the other way around. Maybe the "magic" in the Slusho! is what allows our 6 heroes to "triumph." Personally'd rather see a classic monster movie, but with Heroes being hot, who knows. Still not sure where to put Lily in all of this.

 		Really, cracking the passphrase on a stegged picture isn't illegal, considering it's on your own hard drive.

Probably just harassing some OOG customer support worker. If the store is legit, they are selling merch, it would be logical to think the store e-mail goes to a customer support department.

I'm hoping for a monster movie, just a good monster movie. No heroes. I thought it was pretty firmly believed that all or most of these character were going to die in the movie? Except maybe Rob, of course, he's like the "main dude". Confused
