[Trailhead] theyareliars

Apologies if this has already been done here but I was just linked to

http://www.theyareliars.info

There are four lines of text beneath a simple image of an angel and devil. These read as follows.

30:32:20:2f:20:31:39:20:2f:20:32:30:30:37
Guvf vf gur cynpr jurer rira natryf srne gb gernq.
answers? ?'s
7471

All I have so far is that the second line is a rotation cipher which decodes as follows.

"This is the place where even angels fear to tread."

Also viewing the source led me to a twitter account at http://twitter.com/theyareliars which seems to contain more ciphers. Any help would be appreciated.

Well as far as I can tell, nothing important happened on the date in the spoiler. Nothing substantial for "7471" yet, either.

EDIT: There are also 2 mp3's in the source: http://www.theyareliars.info/1.mp3 and http://www.theyareliars.info/2.mp3

I'd be very careful going to that first site. Looks like it's trying to download and run an exploit.

hell.com has been around since the mid-nineties. The website is notorious for having "weird" stuff on the main page.

Alright, a couple things. First of all, I'm not going to that first site anymore and no one else should unless they have a good firewall and antivirus/spyware stuff, because McAfee caught and quarantined a Trojan right after I went to it.

Second, some new tweets:

Quote:
Jul qvq ur qb jung ur qvq?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ROT13: Why did he do what he did?


Quote:
70:75:72:67:61:74:6f:72:79:3f


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hex: purgatory?


And after I asked who "he" was:
Quote:
Ur oebhtug yvtug gb gur inyyrl bs funqbjf naq gur pvgl bs qnexarff ng n uvtu cevpr.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ROT13: He brought light to the valley of shadows and the city of darkness at a high price.


EDIT: Ok, I think it's talking about Jesus, because in Matthew 4:16 it says ""THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED." (it was talking about Jesus right before this)
(Online bible verse so apologies if it's wrong)

Yeah I think my firewall prevented it from running. I ran a virus and malware check to be sure and did a system restore to be on the safe side.

If you strike up any more conversations with him/her, ask why the fuck they have a trojan exploit script running on their website.

Well, I'm hoping it did no harm to my computer. I've got a firewall and everything, but I'm never too sure about things like this. If anyone would like to know, the Trojan is called "Exploit-Eleono", and I can't find really any info on it, because it's apparently fairly new. I've got it quarantined now, but should I just delete it?

And yeah, I've notified theyareliars about it.

Heh...yeah sorry if my last post sounded kind of harsh. I don't know if a word exists in the glossary for something like this but "shit trail" comes to mind.

BTW, good to see you RAD24.

Good to see you too.

I know what you mean, all this is very suspicious and looks bad for whoever made the website, but maybe it wasn't intentional. Maybe they were hacked, or something.

Or, they could just be assholes. Idk, at this point.

Out there, but maybe the Trojan is apart of the ARG.

Totally wrong, I'm sure. But, that would be some lulz.

Quick, someone sacrifice their computer for the greater good of the ARG community! Laughing

There's a new cypher posted on the twitter account -

0c0423e85048a888dac08dfd3c16e31b

Then theres one on the 17th that looks like no one grabbed -

Fnzhry oebhtug qnexarff? Vf ur qrnq? Qvq gur Nexf jva?

which goes to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Samuel brought darkness? Is he dead? Did the Arks win?"

When he says "arks" I think he means archangels, because he talks about Gabriel a lot, which is also the name of the song playing when you go to the site... Gabriel by Lamb.


And I've gone to the site now and dont/didn't get any notifications about trojans.

Also, he responded to RadTwoFour AND Rad24 - here was the one to Rad24, which you wouldn't have seen Rad -

Chetngbel vf gur pvgl bs pubvprf, gur pvgl bs qnexarff; pvgl bs Tnoevry.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Purgatory is the city of choices, the city of darkness; city of Gabriel.
