 		[TRAILHEAD?] X-AVIER
So I stumbled upon this website this morning. I've been sitting down, trying to figure out if it's setup for an ARG, or if it's just some weridos site. Let me know what you think?

 		Since source is bolded in the second post, looking in the source code reveals:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
./youseeme.playme

If you add it to the url, it prompts a download, which I haven't done yet in case it's malicious.

 		I'll contact the email address and see what I hear.

@RAD24: Just downloaded it. Seems harmless to me.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the description of the file it says "It's in the FTP" But there is no ftp access as far as I know.


His response:

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest.

I'll be up front, after all the recent events... I've gotten to be a bit paranoid. I would like to know more about you, if possible.

May I ask, would you consider yourself one to dig for the truth? To make sure you're not one of them, I ask that you look for what eye I have hidden.

-X



Recent and Dig for the truth were bolded.

Downloaded and changed the extension to mp3. It plays. Not sure what, and don't have the software to look into it further. I'll be lurking to see where this goes as I'm intrigued.

Oh and cherrytree, did you notice the word Terror as well? I opened the file in notepad++ and this was on the first line: "You CAN see me...TEP1(code) It's in the FTPCON(morecode)Terror

 		I also sent an email:

What do we need to know about "them"? who are they? what is the danger?
(tyloperk)

response:

I'll be first to admit, due to the events that have been going on, I'm a bit paranoid about whois contacting me.

Do you consider yourself one that would dig for the truth, (tyloperk)? If you could prove you're not one of them then maybe we could work together.

I'll ba awaiting your reply.

That links you to the audio, if you look in the source code it says

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"You CAN see me...TPE1It's in the FTPTCONTerror" You CAN see me... It's in the error[spoiler]

That's where I am at so far, there is way too much other coding to look thro for me :p

 		it sounds like there is text in the spectrum of the audio file. Not clear enough in audacity, I recommend trying the spectrum visualization in winamp

 		Got my reply:

I see you're one to dig for the source as well. I can't say for sure, but I have the feeling we may be able to work together.

If you've come this far, then maybe you're willing to dig a little more to prove yourself.

I've attached your details. To make sure you're not one of them, I've hidden it. This shouldn't be a problem for a digger of the truth, like yourself.

There's FTP again. The picture is blank.

Edit: And there's a mask. The picture contains two words which are anagrams for Rename Us and Password. No FTP access yet though.

I would say you're half way there.

I popped open filezilla and used host "x-avier.info" (no quotes) and just clicked connect.

It allows Anonymous FTP. You can't access two of the folders in the directory, and there's a zip file inside, but it's password protected.

Would you attach the zip file? (unless of course you're saying the directory is password protected and not just the zip)
