 		Has anyone looked at this website the hymn of one?

http://www.hymnofone.org/

I looked at the source code but its all gibberish to me.

They have a "contact us" link but on the home office sign up page, it asks if you have ever been affiliated with the hymn of one and I put no.

 		email from the home office.

Forwarded on to the analytical recruits.


---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Home Office <wethehomeoffice>
Date: Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 1:55 AM
Subject: [12-09-14-03] Retrieved Data
To: homeoffice.pennSPLATgmail.com


Agent Penn -

Cargill reported in earlier last night with subject in tow. He is docile, though less-than-happy to be here. On his person were backups for the recent operation's video footage, a small, 128MB thumb drive, with a note attached, and two plane tickets to Venezuela, departing two weeks from now.

The thumb drive contained only one file - an image (see attached). What's the story on this?

There seems to be nothing on the handwriting, the text of which is simply: "When she's depressed she goes bowling."

Answers are not going to be forthcoming from the subject. He seems to be uncooperative simply out of spite. We'll have to figure
this one on our own.

Report back with any findings ASAP.


Image is a BMP, so if anyone wants it you'll have to PM me your email addy.

 		Sorry Arg n00b. I don't know how to steg. I'll try and learn, but anyone else who wants to give it a shot can. Following the book angle, there are no copies at my local store. It's not even available to order. My guess is that its pretty rare. But the Wiki has some info. like characters and stuff. Plus the name of one of the stories is ... Kiss me, Judas. Kl00?

EDIT- Alright. I is currently stegging.

REEDIT!!!- Any ideas for passwords?

Why do you need a password?

I might suggest "tachyon" but I'm not sure what you need it for.

ETA I used Steganog and got this: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hrslem

 		Stegging needs a password to decrypt the files. It has to be relevant to the E-mail some how. Bugger if i know.

It never prompted me for a password. But try "tachyon"

There seems to be nothing on the handwriting, the text of which is simply: "When she's depressed she goes bowling."


That is most likely a reference to someone who goes by the name Tachyon.
Specifically this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKH6l5aI_RY

Though she spoke a lot of bowling. And she and Linc were... associates?

 		Oh! No, it's not decompression, you see its a kind of program that hides files in the background of pictures. You need a password to dig them out. Check out the ARG tutorial up in the box at the top left of your screen. It explains it better than I do.
