 		Wiki update - more spec
I updated the wiki of jester with this:

Quote:
This file was most likely created via Text-Image (http://www.text-image.com). You can pass it the Chicago I Will (http://www.chipublib.org/images/chiiwill.gif) picture, and it will produce almost the exact same thing(different binary numbers). Use the default settings: "01", "random", "smallest". Change Color to "Grayscale", and background to "WHITE."

The html then comes out, and I think it would be way too difficult to then put a binary message in the html file.

If it is random, then the whole point of the pic was for us to track down where the original image came from. And we did this. What now? Well, maybe we have to use the image or information about it in the future.

Keywords to try:

"I Will"
"Chicago"
"Spirit of Chicago"
"Holloway"
"Charles Holloway"
"1891"

Can anyone think of any others?


This leaves the issue of New York, and the New York addresses and posters. It looks like Will Star is filling that role.

A couple of points:
1. If you use a width of 150 and C/P the binary from the 95h3 file you will get exactly the same image.
2. Since the site takes any text to encode, it doesn't preclude the fact that, however unlikely, the binary may still be something.

Having said that, I think the key to NY is Willstar. As Diandra pointed out, the "IWill" was most likely hinting at WillStar.TV. After we discovered "IWill" but didn't follow through, Will suddenly popped up, in effect saying "of course it's me, pay attention to me now people". Looking at his site, we discover a DJH4X track created April 21. Worry's Zip email to Ian is dated April 22. There are a lot of coincidences here.

Having said that, I ran a MP3Stego on funkylittledrummerboy.mp3 with a blank password.

I haven't had time to process the resulting file, and it may mean nothing, but here it is anyway.
