Only Google, using the search terms above (link).

Not sure how much you (or anyone else) knows on this, especially if you're outside the US. The NSA is one of those huge American TLAs like the CIA and FBI (if not bigger?) (not to be confused with the other NSA) - the nsa.unaligned thing is a spoof on that, I assume, crossed with a reference to SETI@home. NSA@home is not produced by the NSA Smile

The NSCS is part of the NSA. According to wikipedia, it "is responsible for testing and evaluating computer equipment for use in high security and/or confidential applications." In other words, they know their security stuff Smile

Doesn't do much for us - we can use it to check what those "lights" refer to - i.e. which countries accessed the nsa@home page. (For the interested, most activity is from North America and Europe, natch. The "bright patch" 7 squares across and 3 down is "Cable TV" - I assume that's cable internet access. There's some access from Bell Labs, but generally very little from any military orgs.)

What I can't decide now is whether we've been pointed this way to a) find an exploit/some info on the packetstorm site to help us get into the nomennescio server (Eric said he had access to their files...), or b) use an md5/SHA-1 cracker to determine a key (of which there's been much talk).

 		Another image find
Are we making this more difficult than need be? Here's another image found.

Doing an image search for "CYG X-1" and scrolling down gives me this page:

http://bepposax.gsfc.nasa.gov/first/firstl.html

The CYG X-1 image is from a spacecraft called "BeppoSAX" - more info on the camera used to take it is here and here.

So, so far we have a possible link to the NSA and a link to NASA? Fits with the decoded message from before about a group of government officials and scientists.

(ETA: Also noticed, according to that webpage, the image was taken on June 24th. There's a "624" in the string of numbers we extracted from the RTF file, but could be coincidence.

Yeah I'm pretty much stuck, and other ARGs have pulled me in now. Got an alarm set for when the countdown runs out, and might try some other things for the numbers if I have time. But s'all a bit vague really.

Have spoken to Eric briefly on GTalk a few times, but doesn't seem to throw up anything useful. He's going through some Matrix stuff in his status/icon (status was "Trinity" and the icon is now some panties with "follow the white rabbit" written on them), but he said they were personal.

Maybe they're just preparing something big for December.

 		Eep.

Eric keeps popping up whenever I log into my IM, which has prompted me to check the website a couple of times over the last few months - never saw any changes, so this is fairly new. I don't think I checked it since 12th December (the postdate of the page says 12.12.12, which could = midnight 12th Dec) so maybe it's been there since then.

I also spoke to Eric a few months ago, who said it would be starting up again at some point (probably with some more thought gone into it this time?) - maybe here we go...
