Holy crap!!! Here's to trying random things!! I verified it with one of mine, though I'm not sure how you got all the images--where did the rest of the images come from exactly? and how did you enter them into projectb6? I think I'm just missing something.

Now, I tried to do what you did, but we've already demonstrated that I can't type properly. As a result, I entered THIS

http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont_sr03

and got something even more different.....looks like we're finally making some progress.

Edit: apparently that works with any set of words/numbers/etc at the end, not just the SRs

Nice find Chezzo! As for the names, the Walter Greenberg is associated with the audio file. I searched the text you had found in the picture, and it is apparently a quote from a Mayan elder according to this blog: http://www.2012connect.com/profiles/blogs/mayan-elder-carlos-barrios

Well, my desktop still doesn't have the notepad so I went ahead with the "cheat" one. I got sr_04 which contained Greenburg's recording on the k1 waves. I'm a little confused about all the new, personalized information though. What files do we have and what was in each of them?

Chezzo- Can you get those pictures "naturally" or do you have to mess with the address? And in the notepad the onscreen file is "Walter Greenburg".

lrkr- If you enter any incorrect address it'll bring you to the glitchy error screen. So if you get any page without the error then there might be something there.

[Chezzo]

Haha, yeah I got that 404 error too. I thought it was cute.

Okay, only thing I'm not following is where you got the idea to use rook, technology(etc.), specifically, for the passwords. Did you just try B6 words sequentially until one worked?

Edit: I google-earthed the lat/long coords you found for that IP...it's a house in canada.

[Chezzo]

I didn't try them sequentially, but I was trying the ProjectB6 words pretty much randomly, yes.

Who is in Canada!? Can someone go there and knock on their door!?

[lrkr]

Oh, good to know you were trying them randomly:) I was feeling like an idiot.
Also, google has a streetview at that location as well. didn't see any info in it, but I wasn't looking too hard.

[John_Galt]

That's exactly what I meant Chezzo. The difficulty is starting to tread a fine line between clever address hacking and wild speculation. Maybe you did what lrkr did and cheated around a puzzle.

[lrkr]

I hope we didn't! I'll be sad if we did;(

[Lystella]

For http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sr_03/ at least, the whole symbol section in the bottom right has valid username/passwords. Not sure if that means anything.

[lrkr]

nice catch lyst...it's definitely organized by "topic" somehow...

[Chezzo]

John - We already established that the first addresses http://example.interdimensionalgames.com/ did not have anything to do with getting the googly eyed notebook. It was a matter of timing.

To unlock a directory structure, the PM would have had to sign onto whoever is hosting the site (GoDaddy, I believe) and turn off file structure protection specifically for each of the sr_0* file structures. GoDaddy, and every other good web host, automatically sets them to protected, because it is not a good idea to have them off.

This leads me to believe we were meant to find them.

[lrkr]

I think he's less concerned with that than
1) our brute force methodology--repeatedly generating "unique" logins to increase the chance of that event
and
2)our current approach (i.e. manipulating the addresses to get to the files

that being said, i don't think it's unreasonable to notice the address a download is coming from, and to go back with the same password, one directory deeper.

Edit: I tried pinging the IP address to 100% loss. Either it's getting absorbed, or nothing's there.

EditEdit: We're catchingthis stuff pretty fast. Sr_06 was only uploaded on the 15th.
