Hi guys - sorry to drag you into this - hopefully people from the Xbox.com forum like Dasidans (Daeeder on the xbox forum) wont spoil what looks like a decent firum

It seems you have already spotted Dansidans for what he is, a trouble maker

Sorry for any inconvienience!

Tomorrow I will reveal the password for the login screen in the UK forum - it will be in code (so you will have to do some work, sorry!) and the thread title will be: "Blue on Blue" - I will post it at about 10:00am GMT



If you are interested there are 3 more layers beyond the login page and as you have already found there are 35 prizes up for grabs

If you want the final say...

So the people from Bungie finally spoke in on this and wrote in the weekly update this week (http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?story=weeklyupdatemarch03&p=6325871)

"We got a lot of inquiries about www.ilovebees2.com and I would like to say for the record that it's a fake. Or at least that it has nothing to do with us. I mean for one thing, you have to figure that if we were doing a secret vial campaign, we wouldn't call it ilovebees, because you know, that wouldn't be terribly secret."

So if anyone still thought it was real, you can stop thinking that.

Now I'm going to go listen to my ILB dvd and remeber the good times Smile.

So I'm not sure if anyone's gotten a chance to check out the new page.. The top ASCII looks like it's another screen from oblivion, possibly someone in armor. If you control-scroll wheel to zoom out, you can see the bottom ASCII pic looks like a finger hitting the enter key. There's a small link in the middle of the ascii art linking to: http://www.ilovebees2.com/3.jpg which is.. Well odd.

Throughout the art there appear to be more clues like yesterday's art. Here's what I made out, tell me if I'm wrong Razz

Quote:
"KEYin3"
"Security breach discovered can't access anymore its up to you."
"INCONTROL" I think
"MISSINGCC"
"CAPTURED"
"!FREEDOM!"
":}(BYEMAIL"
"TAKEN"
"USERNAME&PW"
"CAPTIVE"
"LISTENCLOSELY"
"REQUIRED!!"


So it seems you can either email the guy with your preferred client or use the email script That troublesome guy on the xbox forums was talking about xD. But anyway it looks like he wants us to email a username and password. I suppose. Here are the things I'm working on at the moment:

"KEYin3"
Alright.. there's a picture named 3.jpg. We're finding the key (Though I originally thought that the key was status.html, who knows how this guy thinks) so I'm trying to desteg the picture '3.jpg' since it seems to be pretty arbitrary on it's own. So far no luck with a ton of different passwords and variations thereof.

"MISSINGCC"
This has been a theme for the past few days, I believe.. AESS DENIED was the title of the error page yesterday and now it's A-CC-ESS DENIED. The login page has a mention of CC as well.

":}(BYEMAIL" & "USERNAME&PW"
As mentioned above, the guy seems to want us to email him a username and password. Maybe I'm wrong Razz I think a webpage URL would make more sense but m'eh.

"LISTENCLOSELY"
Apparently the new sound file (though still labelled soon.mp3) on this error page has some mumbling in the background. I'm gonna see if I can enhance the sound on this file later and make out what they're saying. Maybe it's a password or just story.

As for meta talk. This definitely feels grass roots to me. But that's okay. Still kind of jerkey for them to call it ilovebees2. Not cool. However I'll tinker around xD.

If you scroll down all the way on the 'login' page, there's a hyperlink "CONCUR" in the bottom left that links to the Bungie.net weekly update saying ilovebees2 is a fake.

JOURNAL ENTRY: R MORROW

I have been recording noises of what I can hear from where I sit, its a small room maybe 12X12' and I hear the footsteps of someone patrolling back and forth. My messages do not seem to be getting out, I have tried and tried but no one is registering. I have been disciplined because someone has been using my username to try and gain access to the database.

Today there was no food as part of my punishment it appears that the one they call Onas is in charge at least that's what it sound like his name is from what I can hear. I only hope someone can help me discover the password so I can escape, I have made contact with one they call Walsh I think he is in the cell next to me. It sounds as if he is being tortured I heard screams and laughter I can only assume the screams were from him. I see a light through a small hole in the wall it looks as if it is some sort of screen or monitor I can almost make out a the letter C it must have some significance. I have to go someone is coming.

This is the new message on the site. I am so scared right now.
Go to www.ilovebees2.com/journal and be scared. Now!

First off, HI ALL! first post here. I have been following the ILB2 thing since 3/2/06 - read up quite a bit of info on the original ILB (I must have been under a rock cause I didnt hear anything about it, at the time.) Any way, I have been keeping tabs on several sites, including the xbox one where Mr. Leisure claims responsibility, but unless you read that entire thread you may miss that he also later recants and claims to have nothing to do with it again.

He also posts a couple of cryptic tid bits but when queried, he says he is just repeating what he read elsewhere, but he also doesnt say where...

Quote:

To: Lt.R Morrow

The code has been changed - you need to re-initialise the project key

Code: CC 777 to A-CC-ess the database no longer works

You must contact me

ends...logged 03:56gmt


Quote:

System Breach - Emergency Logout Protocol 777#CC##

System wide attack. Break contact.

Reboot 10:00 gmt

ends..04:05gmt



Here is what I have been doing.

On 3/2, I see a link to ILB2 pop up on the forum where I have been lurking recently (elderscrolls oblivion forum). When I get to the error.html ASCII art I guess there is more than meets the eye (remember, up until this point I had no idea about ILB).

I get all the words that have been said before, find the ASCII key on the status page, try to puzzle it out, but give up for the night. I came back on 3/3 and found my forum now had a link to this forum and and noticed an updated ILB2. After going through the same process of gathering the words and stuff. I came here read this thread and then read a few websites about the original ILB (boy, am I sorry I missed that)

Armed with my new ILB knowledge I decide to take an action. I shoot off an email to webmasterSPLATilovebees2.com with the subject: RMORROW and a simple: hello? in the body of the email. Within minutes, and much to my surprize, I got a reply saying, "Welcome back Lt. Morrow please let us know your password to continue."

Apparently, this is referring to Lt. Rob Morrow. I guess it's the same Rob Morrow that said the key wasnt fire. (whatever that means)

As a result of what I read in this thread, I added opera7orSPLAThotmail.com and ladybee360SPLAThotmail.com to my IM contacts. But, no word from them and I havent seen either of them online yet.

Today, I found out something on the status page. See this screen
You have to resize your browser window until the the letters line up. It probably doesnt mean much, but I am not sure if people know about it yet.

Thanks,

KenO

For the sake of thoroughness, the page is www.ilovebees2.com/journal.html. I think it is a screen from Rmurrows laptop (look at the source)... which is contradictory since he is supposed to be in solitary.

The error page is new as well, there's a big ole number 5, and what appears to be morse code in it:

Perhaps not morse... but an overlay key to extract a hidden message in the Rmurrow text...

Yay. Registered.

When translated from morse, it says "three" on the first line and "five" on the second. This repeats four more times.

just wanted to throw something out there...on the status page, the database records are not dynamic as far as I can tell. The number of incorrect and correct entries doesn't seem to change no matter how many times you try to log in...this might mean they dont plan on anyone logging in today. In other words, there isn't a correct password...for now...

[EDIT] Oh, also, I noticed that the only two jpeg files we have are 3.jpg and 5.jpg. This goes in line with the morse code. [/EDIT]

[EDIT2] I also did a quick directory scan, here's what I found: [/EDIT2]

I was involved with I Love Bees on this forum, but I cannot remember my username. Sorry about that. I was more of an annoyance than a help anyway.

To me, this looks like an amateur website. As said before, the Javascript is pre-written and taken from another website, and if you take a look at the HTML form on the login page, it seems like even the server-side script is pre-written.

I think that no matter what you put as the password, you will not be able to get anything but error.html, because the script appears set up to redirect there anyway.

EDIT: Just discovered that the password you enter doesn't actually get sent to the server (it has no name attribute). If this were an ARG, I'd say there was another way we're supposed to send the password.
