 		Possible New ARG
Okay so I haven't used Unfiction before now so forgive me if I post this in the wrong area or something. Anyway there's a thread I found on 4chan's /x/ board Containing a QR code that generated a bunch of hex symbols that translated to this:
http://freakshare.com/files/dun0ld9w/Sheep.txt.rar.html
The download was a 220-something meg .rar file containing a text file encrypted using AES.

The first post of with the QR code read as follows:

Quote:
"To find the password you must ask Tex and Brutus, only they would know what to do."


We then did some further research and turned up a few leads including the game Brute Force which has two characters name Tex and Brutus'

From there after countless fruitless attempts to find the password OP posted this:

Quote:
Your all doing very well. But your overlooking the answer. What else does sheep mean? If you still can't get it, spread it. Someone will open it if you spread it.

More help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r3FA7MrCgg

I was never here.


Several fruitless atempts later OP posted once more saying:

Quote:
The hex is the key.

Ever look in a mirror upside down?


Just a few minutes ago he made another post saying

Quote:
Don't miss a thing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r3FA7MrCgg

Not the site, but the way there. Its all a .link.ed together.

As for the original poster, he's long gone.

The truth is out there.


Here's the link to the thread:
http://boards.4chan.org/x/res/8262565

Anyway as you can tell we're trying to crack the .AES file. I assume no responsibility for whatever is in it as I myself have no idea but I would greatly appreciate any help finding the password.

As for the image and the Hex here's the QR code:



and the hex:

Quote:
%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f%66%72%65%61%6b%73%68%61%72%65%2e%63%6f%6d%2f%66%69%6c%65%73%2f%64%75%6e%30%6c%
64%39%77%2f%53%68%65%65%70%2e%74%78%74%2e%72%61%72%2e%68%74%6d%6c


Update 27/7/2011:
The file's been deleted off the Freakshare link since then the password's been found. It's:
Quote:
ha276h37dg63hdj2s7h2gdhjsh26d37dgyfg76gd43h76frhgd338dbs33d8j3hgd.

Thanks to whomever found the password.

The File turned out to be a massive wall of zeroes so far this has been picked out:
Quote:
01110111 01110111 01110111 00101110 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110100 01110101 01100010 01100101 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101 00101111 01110111 01100001 01110100 01100011 01101000 00111111 01110110 00111101 01110010 01101001 01101010 01101011 01010110 01010111 01010100 01100101 00110011 01111000 01101011


which translates to this:
[quote]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giNNkvk4jzQ[/quote

Op later posted this:
Quote:
Iron Maiden and sheep belong in the same video.

He who posts has posted more.

What defence is better than a troll.

Your almost there but far away.

The original poster is still gone.

Never stop looking.
The truth is always out there.


Then He said this
Quote:
Binary stands on its head in a mirror as steel comments about sheep.

The truth is easy to find if you look hard enough.

 		We still haven't gotten anywhere past this. Either people have lost interest or given up. I acknowledge the fact that this may possibly be a troll but I would still like to open the file just to be sure. Thread's still live for anyone interested in reading that.

 		Password for the file is ha276h37dg63hdj2s7h2gdhjsh26d37dgyfg76gd43h76frhgd338dbs33d8j3hgd

Apparently, it is a bunch of 0's. Anyone have the file so I can look at it? It got deleted.
