Any clues anyone??!!

EDIT::

An email i sent to our dear old friend jo:

Dear josephine,

i have recently heard that you have made contact with ethan dobbs and have researched his desidthech venture. Is it possible that you could somehow lead us to the program as i need to see how its integrity is as carlyal are on the backs of certain members and they are in danger. If we somehow can get hold of the program then we can save the cheerleader, if not the world will die. keep quite about iur communicarions as Ethan might not be as trustworthy as we thought. plaese aide us.

Well i got a reply from Zacheepoo and it reads this:

Something seems familiare about the first site nad the second one also. i do nt know but maybe this is where things are going!!


The best way to see if a site in IG or OOG is by using the WHOIS is lookup. On the UnFiction toolbar, use the one that says DNS lookup or Multiple Keyword WHOIS lookup.

The first site was created in 1999 and the second one in 1998. If you look at the information listed in the WHOIS directory for these sites, there's no way they are IG.

The Deleted the Game sites are usually registered in the UK. They seem to be all made with the Moonfruit software suite.

Ok...edit. First off...CONGRATS Schrijvertje! Yeah! Good to see an UFer win the weekly game!

How the heck to I keep getting points? I submitted an answer this week...yes. But it was like 2 hours before the new episode came out and like 2 days after everyone else would have submitted their answer after it was cracked by Colmy. i wanted to send it in just so the PMs would realize I was still an active player. But since the friendship of circle thing is gone, the only thing points are good for is toward the grand prize which is a trip to the city I already live in! I think someone else should win. But whatever, I'm thinking that if I just keep playing as I normally would and if I ended up on top then the PMs would have no problem just transfering the prize to someone else. I just didn't want you guys to think I was some sort of greedy SOB since the whole friendship of circle thingy is gone.

Don't worry

Irene, i wouldnt worry about it too much, i just sent in my answers to the questions as i realised i could work backwards and try and get some points.

I had a thought, shall i take a back seat for a while as i might be getting ahead of myself and i realise that im emailing and posting like a madman trying to get the edge, i feel that i might be trying to take over here and so i dont think i am really giving people a chance to give posts saying that they found something or theories.

If people want, ive added my msn address that i use and so if people want to add me they can, just say that your from the deleted thing as we might try to get some real time convosations and research going. weve missed something but what?? Is the key still on that wiki page?? is it on of the links?? the short message might enlighten us.

EDIT:: i know what i just said but read this, consider the document and think that this might be an advertisement for something and it was added recently!!!

http://www.prlog.org/10116877-security-seal-news-alert-effective-october-15-2008-iso-17712-container-seals-on-maritime-cargo.html

and another:

http://www.prlog.org/10096641-taylor-saad-investigation-firm-launches-new-on-demand-case-management-system.html

heres the page i found the stories on:

http://www.prlog.org/cat-security/us/new-york/


EDIT::

Scrap what i said, i might hev just got something a bit ascew, if someone wants to investigate this they can but it is likely to be a dead end.

EDIT::

Jo got back to me on an email:

XXXX

It seems like everyone wants to get their hands on Desidtech. I'm afraid I don't have any special access to the program at the moment. I know only that it supposedly has the potential to turn the online security industry on it's ear. Can you explain to me how your "cheerleader" will be saved through this program?

I mailed Ethan (or rather PMed him on Facebook) to ask him directly. I'm not hopeful I'll get an answer though.

Time for a new bit of info

Dear Dr S,
I have some photographs that I would appreciate your opinion on. These were shown to me recently, and I don't know what to think. Any information you can provide will be deeply appreciated.

Dr Z

Dear Dr Z,

I am writing to inform you that the long text you refered to us was a very inmorpant document and now i am writing to enquire whethen T.D. had any other traits as so we can unlock the final part of the puzzle, The reason i ask is because we are unable to unlock the text and thus we cannot complete the work provided, is there something that could have been missed. I am feeling BORED at the mement and so feel this picture best shows my mood, please responde soon.

Dr S.

and some attachments and they arent camoed (to my knowledge, i tried the prog.):

So whoever these people are, they might hold some inportance!!

1a and 1b, thats on his profile the picture. i assume that it is either the Sseon person of he's being investigated!! Seems that this is the desidtech related stuff and who is biz?? busines partner possibly??

As a side note, the colour of the picture makes it seem like ethan has been photoshopped in badly.!! XD

Jo has the pictures, shes done some investigation in the past, it is possible she has information we need.

EDIT::

If i find a site or two that on WHOIS says, 'is not a properly formatted domain name', what should i do??

I wonder if the second set were also taken in Moscow. I'm assuming in the 2nd set that 'E' referes to Ethan. Anyone got any interpolation software we can run the ages through to get a clearer picture?

[edit] did you put in the http://www. bit?

Winning this one was a big surprise. This week's puzzle was pretty much a group effort and it was in fact Colmy who found the password first. Those 1,000 points got me second place and a prize (I wonder what it'll be?)

Interesting photos. I was wondering when those pics would come into play. Yes, I'm wondering as well whether photo 2 might be something inside the Kremlin.

The guy behind Ethan on photo 1 seems like he's preparing to take a picture of another guy further to the left (he isn't in these pictures, but on the original photo on Ethan's Facebook). Which is kinda odd, because you'd think it'd be the other way around, guy on the left taking the picture while guy on the right poses in front of the Kremlin.

Biz and E. Yes, E would suggest it's Ethan. However, even though we only see his back, he doesn't look like Ethan to me. In fact, he looks more like that guy on the left in the first picture.

But how do these photos fit in with this week's puzzle: the true capabilities of Desidtech? Why would we study these photos, find out who these people are, when the answer we're supposed has no apparent connection to them?

I've already exhaustively researched Desidtech these past few weeks without finding anything. Perhaps new information has recently been published on old pages, though it doesn't seem so at first glance.

Could Desidtech be used to gain access to any computer connected to the internet?

Jo got back to me on the thing ethan was reading:

That's just an old chart containing code used by Lewis and Clarke. It's been on my wall for years. Ethan said he found it interesting from an historical perspective. I've looked it over, but it doesn't contain our B12. We'll have to keep looking.

Yeah, she said about the BIZ being B12, which it could, and heres my responce:

dear josephine,

I was wondering if this chart had a name or something as it might be worth while research as it does contain a code (i assume some kind of cryptic one) and also its going to bug me as well. I considered that B12 (if that is what it is) might refer to an excel spreadsheet or a grid referance to a map. This is interesting waters we enter now so exploring every avenue is paramount.

Yours greatfully,

Heres a url to explain what this code might be.

DBl, again but info!!

well by request i give you the third set of pictures!!

I think that this is two events at once, one being the Desitech stuff then the other being a federal investigation. Something about this is odd as we can't find anything on the Worl Wide Waste of time about Desitech. Either the PM's want us to ask certain questions or they have everything timed out rather than release everything on the friday. I don't know but is anyone making seperate investigations into these or other avenues and if so, what results have you got??

I don't believe the Desidtech info can be found online either.

I've been thinking about that federal investigation. That's difficult to follow up. I mean, what? Is one of them going to pretend to be an FBI agent? That's a real agency, and this is completely different from portraying one in a movie. I doubt the FBI is in on this game and we can just start e-mailing that Martinez fellow.

Those photos are weird. Did you ever see that movie with Christina Ricci, "The Gathering", or read Ray Bradbury's "The Crowd"? Those people are exactly like that.

By the way, does anyone else have the feeling that what we see in the videos doesn't completely gel with our own experiences with the characters? Reactions, knowledge, etc? It's like the episodes are one version of a parallel dimension, and the e-mails and messages another; both very similar yet still different in details.

Well, blood from a stone isnt too hard...

Your going to love me i suppose, I just got another file from zacheepoo, and ill even post the emails:

Dr S,
I'm not sure if this will help you at all. You have urged me to share everything with you, and I do have this other document in the file. It seems unrelated, but maybe you will find a connection.
As to Russia, I have been to the country only once myself, and have no knowledge of my associate every visiting. I was away for much of the spring and summer, and was not monitoring the location of my colleagues.

Z

------

Dear Dr Z,

It appears that Dr E is at an event that is significant in russias history, as you know Dr E best, what dates did ethan go to russia, if multiple dates then please specify. We need to cross reference this with the pictures and also can you tell me if he have communica with any companies of corporations and what these dates are he did so and finally, is there a website i can email asking about the investigation regarding Dr E. I know i ask alot but if you ask the right questions then you get the answers you need. If we can solve this thing quick the good but i feel it will go on for a while longer.

Yours,

Dr S

Well agree with your theory Schij as we only seem to get what they want to give (i pester zach alot) but we make no real progress as what we usualy want isnt there for some reason.

also Jo agreed that B12 might be a location so if we can find some kind of map (dont know of what) maybe, by chance, B12 will give us a company name. I might look into odinance survey maps of Moscow!!

Ive not read those books but i trust what you said was correct.

Read the document, its got a mane in it which is specific and is leading to terrorism. (wow, im shocked americans creating a story on terrorism, oh how original...not)

Hmmm...maybe its an email password. Does B12 correspond to anything on the SecureIDGuard "secure communications" chart (the one with the Keycode 82 barcode embedded at the bottom) that some of us got by email?

When looking up Babana1002 it turns out the the Madrid bombers traded info via an email account with that name and password. They saved messages in the "draft" folder of Yahoo or Hotmail so as not to leave email traces. They would all log into the same account and check messages to each other that way.

I was thinking about "Gordon" from J-Cob's video. Maybe my husband was right, maybe this will turn out to be a Fight Club sort of thing, and Ethan stealing identities and robbing credit card companies will actually make him the good guy.

Zach, answers please..

Well, i checked the secureid thing and B12 doesn't exist on there but i did email zacheepoo about if he knew of any of ethans e-mail accounts but i havent a respoce yet, i probly wont get one for about 4 - 6 hours as ive noticed that the characters cheack and send e-mails at a similar time each day so i know when to start checking. also i think the fact that we have this new info in light means we have to do it, its a bit odd that he just missed it off but usually the things that are missed are sometimes the most vital part.

next weeks episode i feel might go more into desidtech. we cant get info on it and thus cannot answer the questions. now all we do is wait. i thought thyed atleast have another mini puzzle for us to solve, unless its there and we just havent seen it.
