As you probably already know on we found a way to reach LIVE PERSON (we call him MD guy) through out numbers and Agent system.

http://otp22.referata.com/wiki/Message_Desk

The guy always replied with "message desk" and then asked about the "number". Depending on number given he answers with another number or "you will have to call (some city with airport/radar/ECHELON)"

He dont like is we ask about number 43, and he is saying that number 43 is in the BOOK.



Our OTP22 Elite librarian team obtained that book: Wink

THE BOOK

Since we got some proves that MD guy is part of this ARG here are some interesting things we got from him. Last night we got location of next DEAD DROP from him in form of NATO message encrypted with files from CD found in Lake Oswgo Library (1st dead drop)


Some interesting recordings of calls to MD guy from first two nights:


•MD asking for number on which he return calls later http://vocaroo.com/i/s1mpRkNi0T9X

•GAY SEX SOUNDS at the end http://vocaroo.com/i/s0qsga6uyCOr http://vocaroo.com/i/s0AW2efV7Kxx (suspected troll, as MD guy commented later)


•After one guy tried to mock MD guy about sex tape, he was put on hold for more tha 1 hourhttp://vocaroo.com/i/s1JRwDUcGY8i

One of us wrote nice summary:
http://pastebin.com/K6QRjUyy

Code:
In September 2012 a strange phone number(303-309-0004, out of Colorado) gained attention when it was posted on an anonymous forum. A group quickly gathered to work on the codes and messages received. The project came to be known as OTP22,in reference to OTP being said in the first phone messages. Since then, there have been several stages with different types of codes, an automated agent system, four different phone numbers, SSTV images, and even a live person.  Currently, we appear to be recieving messages intended for an "Agent Bourges". We have also noticed that sometimes we can reach a "Message Desk" with a live person who, when given a positive integer, will reply with another number, a town name, and even, once, an encoded message in NATO alphabet. 
 
 
    Initially, the phone number asked for "Agent Codes". After finding a valid code, the system would recite a long series of 2-digit numbers. The phone messages were decoded and found to mention GPS coordinates for locations labelled "TROOP", "AGENT", "SHIP", etc. Over observation, a ship convoy appeared to be heading north toward through the Bering Strait and toward Svalbard despite complications when a "MIG BOGEY" appeared.
 
    Information about a drop in Oregon lead to the recovery of  a CD with tools to solve a new type of code, a series of letters given in NATO alphabet and frequently seperated into 5 letter sections. Another dead drop was found at a phone booth in Maine, and its contents led to the discovery of a third drop in Minnesota.The third drop was simply an index card, in a plastic bag, with the phone number 709 700 0122.
 
    A strange series of chirps and tones on the 709 number were decoded to be information on a series of 6 drops across the world. Drops in California, Rhode Island, and Finland were successfully recovered and consisted of a set of strange metal parts in a sealed bag. The drop in Bellwood, Chicago, eventually yeilded a broken CD and a strip of paper with "97 BA 16041-97 BA 16241".
 
    At around the same time as the 709 number was found, the coordinates system shut down. The 202 and 303 numbers started giving strange "horn" tones instead. After several days the "horns" were decoded and revealed yet another phone number, this one in Poland. The Poland number asked for a "Bell Agent Code" in order to "reactivate the system". Finally, this was deduced to be "97BA16041", and we were informed that system reactivation was immenent. All three US numbers switched to strange recordings which sound like encrypted conversations. We have yet to solve them.
 
 
    Promptly, the 202 and 303 numbers were switched back to the original agent system. However, old codes were no longer accepted. Using code 16041, we were given a binary tone, much like the ones on the 709 number, welcoming "Agent Ai Bourges" back and informing her that the assignment had been cancelled. The newest agent system is more organized than the original, with a "Directory" which gives agent codes to use in order to access "AiBourges", "AgentInstructions", and "Upload". We are monitoring all of these for changes.
 
   The most recent development is the Message Desk, which the 202, 303, and +42 numbers sometimes directly forward to. Sometimes it can also be accessed using agent codes #16044 or #16244. At the other end of the line, a live person answers "Message Desk" and prompts you for a number. He will respond with another number, a town name, and occasionally something else. The message desk has been up for a few hours every night since we discovered it on 11/23, but the times have varied greatly.  We continue to try numbers and record responses.

Mysterious black box:



it looks home made
there seems to be some grey paste inside the box and the micro USB connector



BAR CODE ON SIM CARD

Bar code explanation

89 881 6 931200036844 3 appears on the card

89: major industry identifier- telecommunication
881: country code (satellite)
6: Iridium identifier
931200036844: account ID number
3: check digit

Dialing Direct: To call the Iridium phone from a landline phone in the U.S. you would dial 011 and then the 12-digit Iridium number. For example: 011 8816 6299 0000. This type of call is not billed to your Iridium account. The caller will be billed by their landline long distance company.
http://messaging.iridium.com/
messaging that number (931200036844)produces:
Error! The Iridium subscriber number you specified is invalid.

PLUGGING IT IN

Code:
Sync   counterfeitsaint: open a text program and plug it in
counterfeitsaint   ok that was weird
counterfeitsaint   it does emulate a keyboard
Sync   just as I said
counterfeitsaint   it starts typing and deleting 0 over and over
counterfeitsaint   the short answer is it wants agent codes
nadando   and pushing the buttons?
counterfeitsaint   it flashes zero, pressing button 1 counts up, button 2 moves to the next digit
counterfeitsaint   eventually i got this:
counterfeitsaint   Invalid Agent Code. Check for proper application of Salt.
counterfeitsaint   green light went solid and it stopped responding
counterfeitsaint   green light on the board
counterfeitsaint   it requires 6 digits
counterfeitsaint   yeah, button 1 counts up one, button 2 moves to next digit
counterfeitsaint   its constantly deleting and refreshing the text, so you can see updates
counterfeitsaint   but if you screw up the only way to start over is to unplug it
counterfeitsaint   taking a pic of the red light, then i can try some codes
counterfeitsaint   [url]http://prntscr.com/lcl4o[/url]
joaogro   016041 im guessing this one
counterfeitsaint   ok, trying that one
counterfeitsaint   if you fail you get
Sync   read the backlog
counterfeitsaint   Invalid Agent Code. Check for proper application of Salt.
counterfeitsaint   526030 also invalid
counterfeitsaint   http://i.imgur.com/txIWs.png
counterfeitsaint   you can't see the 5th digit cause its flashing
counterfeitsaint   learned soemthing new!
counterfeitsaint   incriment goes 0-9, A B C D * and back to zero again
counterfeitsaint   no E or F
Gwraspe   that is DTMF values
Gwraspe   the ABCD chars are mostly unused
chronomex   and you have to replug after failed attempts, yes?
Sync   chronomex: no worries, the reset pin would work
counterfeitsaint   i haven't found a way to reset it other than unplugging
Sync   counterfeitsaint: because of the goo you cannot do that

We found two codes that works so far:

counterfeitsaint 974568 Fails
counterfeitsaint 4200 Fails
counterfeitsaint 1446 Fails
counterfeitsaint 229443 Works
counterfeitsaint 45146* Works
counterfeitsaint 016041, 16041* fails

this is what we got out of them

Arduino clone (Arduino is an open-source single-board microcontroller)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arduino_compatibles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino

Device

Electronic device with mini USB connector (see pictures).
Board has been identified: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11098
Connecting the device to a computer results in text output: one button increments the counter, the other moves to the next digit. 6 digits are accepted. Possible digits are 0123456789ABCD* (DTMF).
Successful codes have a checksum === 4 (mod 10), where the checksum is computed by simply summing the digits (* = 4, A = 7, B = 8, C = 9, D = 10)

The device will then output one of 15 different messages, depending only on the first digit of the input code. These messages are composed of 2048 lines of 5 5-grams each (10240 5-grams or 51200 characters total). The 5-grams are from a set of 25 characters excluding Z (A-Y).

0: salt = 975, output
1: salt = 287, output
2: salt = 246, output
3: salt = 558, output
4: salt = 870, output
5: salt = 829, output
6: salt = 141, output
7: salt = 453, output
8: salt = 412, output
9: salt = 724, output
A: salt = 161, output
B: salt = 473, output
C: salt = 785, output
D: salt = 744, output
*: salt = 809, output

Unsuccessful codes output "Invalid Agent Code. Check for proper application of Salt.". The device needs to be disconnected to reset.
There is not enough memory on the device (32kb) to store all of these outputs- they must be being generated somehow.

MORE INFO:
http://otp22.referata.com/wiki/Bursage_Loop_drop

Example of how output looks (similar as otp.txt from 1st drop from Lake Qswego library LINK.)

THERE IS NO LETTER Z in them, so only 25 different characters

2 NEW TRANSMISSIONS

At some occasions Message desk guy is asking people who call him for their phone number, if they give it to him he returns the call and ask them about the number they gave him when they called him. If reciever answers correct number he gets new number from MD guy. (sounds complicated)

One of our OTPers got called back from MD guy and got new number 899053.

MD guy is returning calls from spoofed numbers, but on this occasion he called from 202-999-3335, and that number exist (previousl he was calling from 12000000)



8/12/2012

On 202-999-3335 we found this that has NOT been decrypted yet:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1S9k1VoICxy
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1pIH6tqiewI



9/12/2012

we found new binary song on 202-999-3335 and 303-309-0004 AGENT NUMBER 899053 (number that was given to our member on return call on his/her personal phone)

http://dialer.otp22.com/2012-12-09%2005-49%20UTC%20-%20202-999-3335%20-%20899053.wav

This has also not been decrypted yet!
