 		ArgenSoft
Got a strange IM tonight from a Donovan Andrews (s_michael55SPLATyahoo.com). He works for a company called ArgenSoft. The "tech security guy" Johan Jonason has gone missing and all traces of him have been removed from the company computers. Donovan is having trouble finding any information on the owners of ArgenSoft and wants us to help him find out what happened to his friend. His best friend Nadia is the receptionist at ArgenSoft, he's looking for her too.

ArgenSoft company website is here: http://argensoft.netau.net/

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
link in the source leads to this code: http://argensoft.netau.net/CADIE.html thank you vapor for finding this


Our IM conversation was quite long so I'm including it here as a text file.

 		Had a add request from Donovan also, but wasn't online at the time.

I did a quick google search for the code on the CADIE page... and found a similar code.... Gonna dig deeper tonight..

http://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/self_inter3.txt

Maybe it's a program of some sort.

EDIT:

The programming language is called INTERCAL... Read about it here:

 		I dug up some information about CADIE that can be found here

CADIE was apparently Google's latest April Fool's joke. And she's open source. And she has a thing for Pandas.

The CADIE open source matches that of the text on http://argensoft.netau.net/CADIE.html

Close, but I ran into similar google results, look at my previous edit. I think the program is called INTERCAL, still trying to figure it out.

 		Got a message from Donovan earlier.. will post the conversation later...
Also emailed Nadia... I'll post that after as well.

The site is back up! So far I've gotten....


1)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Looking in the CADIE.html source.. you find binary for the word panda towards the bottom. Which leads you to...



2)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://argensoft.netau.net/panda.html It says "hungry..." So what do you feed a panda?



3)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Well that would have to be... Bamboo. http://argensoft.netau.net/bamboo.html

Everything from there gives me a 403 page though.. so I'm trying to see if I'm missing something or if I just need to figure out the right word...

 		Oh no.. bamboo.html works. It's trying to guess what I'm supposed to put in the box. Everything comes back as a 403 page.

 		notice the input sends you to crunch.php and the identifier is labeled "fudge"

Any ideas?

 		I tried.. crunch, fudge, a bunch of different names for fudge. Chocolate, cocoa, etc, panda, bamboo, character names... blarg. Donovan did point out the ?fudge= part though. I just don't know what he means.

 		Probably a coincidence... Fudge Magazine recently did an article on "Bamboo" a musical group.. Never heard of them before.

Nadia!

Hey! I'm an acquaintance of Donovan's from outside of work. He's really worried about you.. but because of the current situation we think it's better if he didn't contact you directly. Are you okay? I heard about the dark suited man. What did he say to you?

If you want to talk through Y!Messenger, we can talk through there too. My username is munkishines1.

If you need anything, let us know.

Thank you.

All the man did was ask me if I knew Donny.

Then the watching started.


Me:
Quote:
Are they always watching you? Or just at work?
Do you know why they're watching?


Nadia:

Always. No. Donovan
