 AboveTopSecret.com September conspiracy competition
ATS take on ARG

That ol' conspiracy site that allows cults to groom potentially vulnerable members, deletes any content that colours them anything but between the lines and promotes obvious viral marketing as pot-smoking NWO reptiles from Niburi working as the police as factual have just launched a trailhunt which is blossoming as we speak.

There's a $500 dollar cash prize as well as some sort of physical gift which is relevant to the game to be won. Game actually starts anytime between now and the 6th of September and ends on or before September 22nd.

Someone with the same username (and syntax use) as me - but who would probably never say anything bad about that site due to the ban hammer being swung so liberally- has done a brief summary of up until now (which is here). It's early doors yet but I do reckon it will get a lot more complex and cover a wide range of subjects which I know the membership here are well clued up on.

So in short the intro to the competition is here, the discussion thread for it over there is here and the actual place to post your potential solutions to the thread is here.

Could be fun - seems the site is undergoing an overhaul and this is some sort of competition to celebrate it.

If anyone figures it out but doesn't fancy the cash or prize PM me!!

-m0r (That other guy over at ATS signs his posts this way too - weird eh?)

Just received an email that this has officially launched, with a link to http://htinez.com/ -- since the Chinese says the site is under construction, the banner ad seems to be the significant part.

It references zsearch and Wadjet.

...and one of the links on the Wadjet page (itanimulli.com) redirects to the actual NSA website. I'm going to suggest handling this game with care. Seems to be one of the old debunked conspiracies from AboveTopSecret.

Found an IG site with a login/password (http://www.wadjetindustries.com/banco/#) that also links to OOG sites about banking and the end of the world.

Oi....

This one is going to be very difficult to follow. Kinda like everything ATS puts out I guess...

I tried using Benjamin as username and the serial number on the bill as the password it took me to http://www.governmentterminal.us/ but I'm on my iPad so I can't see the page.

It's a command line. So far none of the usual DOS commands seems to work.

The file is "term4439.swf"

I don't know if we're supposed to try and decompile this stuff or not.

Tried the usual DOS commands that I can remember, (as Nico stated above) but nothing works yet.

EDIT: kudos on figuring out the Login/pw so quickly!

Also, the tab on the command line interface gives an error: ERR:39exePZWIZ .... weird.

EDIT2: did a whois on the governmentterminal site:

Registrant ID: CR51774660
Registrant Name: Saul Elkas
Registrant Organization: Project Zenith
Registrant Address1: 666 3rd Ave
Registrant City: New York
Registrant State/Province: New York
Registrant Postal Code: 10174
Registrant Country: United States
Registrant Country Code: US
Registrant Phone Number: +1.2127836655 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              +1.2127836655      end_of_the_skype_highlighting
Registrant Email: ****@projectzenith.org

new site?

EDIT 3:

type in zenith on the command line!

After the command line was discovered I used some of the key items there to figure out what on earth is going on. That lead me to this Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=53091982535#!/group.php?gid=53091982535

Apparently the Zenith group is a secret society of individuals that control the world by implanting secret code into all the banking terminals of the world. They do awesome things like track every time you go to StarBucks, if you ever bought 'Catcher on the Rye', and whatever else ATS wishes you to believe.

Some time ago comedian (and wacko nutjob) George Carlin went "public" with allegations that Zenith controls the world. The conspiracy goes as far as blaming Zenith for Lindsey Lohan's arrest and woes!!

I wish this was a joke. I wish this was a fictional world for the purposes of this ARG. Unfortunately the people running this ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT!

So my $0.02 is to really watch your step out there. When dealing with Alex Jones who believes that the American Presidents have all been reptilian aliens sent from another planet to control us you might find yourself way outside the normal realms of this genre.

/ETA: Forgot to include the link to the main anti-Zenith site: http://stopzenith.com/

After registering with projectzenith.org...

Here's their suggestions as you are being "inspected":

1. Do not carry firearms on your person.
2. Increase the amount of time per day that you spend watching television.
3. Try to refrain from eating organic and unprocessed foods if possible.
4. If you meditate or practice religion, keep an open mind to new ideas.
5. If you feel headache or nausea at any time, wait at least three days before contacting your doctor.

Also, they've made a film site... http://www.zenithfilm.com but no film, just an email address.

Now that I'm back home on my PC, and can access the linked site, I've realized, it doesn't matter what UN/PW you use, you are always redirected to that other website. Not sure if that was the intent or if there is a UN/PW that will redirect somewhere else.

Better late then never

I just finished watching the film and decided to check out the zenith websites. I came across the password site and discovered the password was "Unff7ejx533j" site: http://www.wadjetindustries.com/exterminate/

http://www.governmentterminal.us/
After reverse engineering the swf file I discovered the following
type "zenith" to display the directory, then "4896" as the password.
this will foward you to the countdown page
http://endoftheworldcountdown.us/

http://www.wadjetindustries.com/banco/
"POST" action="http://wadjetindustries.com/banco/redirect.html">
Usuario: name="usario"
"username">Contraseña: "password" name="zenith"

This is moot because all user/pass cobos redirect.

http://www.iqt.org
has the look & feel of being legit, their whois comes up in Arlington VA, also this site has links to other sites like http://www.alfalight.com/
Domain Discreet
ATTN: alfalight.com
Rua Dr. Brito Camara, n 20, 1
Funchal, Madeira 9000-039

Yet the phone number displayed on their tech docs is Wisconsin.
