I don't know of a way to get the binary out other than just typing it out. I think some scanners have text recognition - OCR or something? I typed out the first two rows and got nothing but I don't know if you'd have to have the entire string for it to work or not.

I would assume the other pictures in the Flickr are not insignificant but I don't know yet what they would mean. Fish and a building that may be an aquarium although it looks like a college to me. I thought it was odd that the cars are just parked on the grass.

Also, new tweet: THERE IS A MESSAGE YOU ARE OVERLOOKING. Maybe the binary?

ETA: Just noticed some things in the source that I don't remember seeing before. On the main page the link to CADIE.html has a note added saying SYSTEM BUG FIXED. (All the ways I try to post the code won't show up on here so you'll have to go see it)

And on the source of CADIE.html it says:
SERVER LOG: DETECTED MULTIPLE INTRUDERS. SAFEGUARDING 0111000001100001011011100110010001100001.
Binary translates to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
panda


Has that always been there?

Didn't notice a change on double.html

I tried decoding that, deciphered about 8 lines, but all I got were a bunch of U's and some random ASCII characters. For reference they were the top 8.

You have the message. But you don't realize its importance.

SCANNING FILESYSTEM... WARNING - SERVER CONTAINS VIRUS WORM.PARASITE.TESLACTX, INF


Odd line out.

In plain sight leads me to believe it isn't hidden by a code, it's something we had but we just didn't understand the importance of. That led me to the log file.

So, this is the final line, "THE END IS NEAR. ACT SOON." and it's the only one that changes. The comments on case sensitivity and capitalization makes me think that within this is a password and that it needs to be capitalized.

So why don't we try;
WORM.PARASITE.TESLACTX
WORMPARASITETESLACTX
TESLACTX
or something of the sort?

Have we already used the title of the flickr image?:

Sorry, if this has already been decoded, I only skimmed through the whole thread.

Hi there, just came to say scipio26 began following me yesterday so I'm trying to get up to date... It's a bit weird, as I've been inactive for quite a long time, I decided to jump into the mod shomatsu thing that had just started, and then this scipio26 begins following me... is there any connection?

edit after reading:
I just can't help but think about the panda antivirus... maybe the message is just the panda? maybe this TESLACTX is some kind of virus? I can't find anything about it...

LOOK TO THE PANDA.

...WITHOUT THE FIRST.

THE OTHER WAS UNCOVERED BUT CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD...

ONE IS LARGE BUT IGNORED.

THERE ARE TWO MESSAGES.


I guess the binary is the large message, we uncovered but we do not understood.
Looking to (at?) the Panda does not help me.

Hi all. I haven't been following this ARG, but Scipio26 started following me yesterday on Twitter, so I'm going to play a little catch-up when I have a moment. (I am rather happy this thread only has 9 pages of background compared to the 40 I'm used to... Smile ) Will do my best to contribute if I can! Cheers!

Welcome to all the new players!

Three new tweets:

BOTH MESSAGES YOU HAVE ALREADY READ.

THE PANDA SITS ON ONE

THE SECOND YOU DISCOVERED AND WILL UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE FIRST ONE.

Thanks for your welcome Jain. I was added yesterday, too, but am not caught up. After reading today's tweets and thinking about, "The panda sits on one," I wonder if this refers to the link posted by vapor on page one of this thread http://google.about.com/b/2009/04/01/cadie-april-fools-day-2009.htm (see last sentence) as it show the panda sitting on a US map right on Florida.

Hmm, well we do know that the arg takes place in Florida so that could be it. I tried looking up aquariums in Florida to see if I could find the building that's on the Flickr page but I didn't find it. I've been wondering what the Matrix picture has to do with this and if that's what he's talking about. I've seen the Matrix a million times but can't remember any reference to fish or pandas or anything involved in this game besides the possibility of ArgenSoft being involved in some Matrix-like conspiracies. I'll be in and out today but I'll try to keep thinking while I'm gone.

Anyone got a wiki or summary available?
If not, I might start a wiki and go through the last 8 pages (better now than when we have 20 pages to go over)

"The Panda Sits On One."

Isn't that referring to the panda sitting in the Double page?

If so, have we tried anything with that picture? I remember we did the cross hair one, but what about that one?

As for the largely ignored, I'm sticking with the long list we just got.

Could the p/w for the picture be teslacx?
