 		MoT - Inside Access and Dubai
This thread is for discussing the MoT video on vimeo, and related information.

The video at http://www.vimeo.com/6420608 was cracked, the password is 'yamantau', as in the Russian mountain referenced by the coordinates in the fake google flash.

This led to a screencap video of a Junsui intruder looking up Rhea's information on the MoT backend. Translations (some rough, not the best Russian speaker) are as follows:

Translations are in green and red.

The user enters the following at every login screen:

б-020-2556-017
10-digit password

**Note that the first character in the login name is 'б', not six... it's a cyrillic 'B'

Additionally, Patrick left the following message with the video:

Quote:

Patrick wrote:

Dear Vera and Oksana,

Thank you for giving me this final chance to redeem my life.

Over the years working in an empty consumerism, I too had become one of the defiled. You alone showed me the path to true purity. You offered me a glimpse of the plan which the Great Mother has for all of us.

I have made many enemies in choosing the side of purity, but my faith is strong. I know that those who would seek to do harm to us will only harm themselves. I know that those who cannot abandon their lives of emptiness will live in prisons of their own creation.

You were right this entire time: "feed them a small amount of animosity, and they will then devour themselves."

For those of us who have chosen the path of the pure, in death there will be new life. Know that I meet my end now thinking of Her.

Yours Faithfully,
Patrick


Points of interest:
- the model on the first page is named Helena Tindarova, and she looks a lot like the girl from the THENFRIEND video (Russian name: хелена тиндарова)
- Rhea was apparently born at Kosvinsky mountain, one of the locations referenced in the coordinate puzzle
- Rhea is a "lady of pleasure"
- Lots more references to "schools", there are apparently at least 4, with cameras watching the "dormitory" areas and "perimeter" area
- There appear to be dozens of other girls, even just in Rhea's "school"
- MoT/Alfa-Tsentr has: a warehouse, archives, an airbase, and a generator, all with remote surveillance
- We appear to have Rhea's location within School 3: Boudoir D, Branch B, Cell 5
- MoT is creepier than we thought
- Their "personnel" are divided into "regular" and "guardians", Rhea is "regular"
- Patrick is either dead or apparently soon to be

Also, the "summary of what happened" thread has been updated: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28344

 		In Patrick's message, it's possible that Oksana and Vera refer to:

Oxana Fedorova
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxana_Fedorova

Vera Krasova
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Krasova

Two "Beauty Queens" from Russia, both involved in social activism through UNICEF. They recently worked together in the North Caucasus: http://www.unicef.org/russia/media_12582.html

 		There is no such russian name as Хелена, in russian it would be Елена(Elena).
Her surname Тиндарева comes from a Spartan king Тиндарей(Tyndareus).
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen:
Quote:
In most sources, including the Iliad and the Odyssey, Helen is the daughter of Zeus and Leda, the wife of the Spartan king Tyndareus.


EDIT: my translated version of the last screen from video:

i've read, as far as i know, everything on this arg on your forum, but my memory isn't that great, cause i don't understand everything, other than the basic story arc, but...

 		Great work! Do you guys think that Yuri will give himself the link to the Dubai terminal? Or we'll have to find it on our own?

 		So I guess we have to find out the password for http://www.alfa-tsentr.ru/prov/ ?
Login name is Б-020-2556-017 and we know that the password is 10 characters long.
Tried "marckesano", didn't work.

 		That first character of the user id being a cyrillic Б would indicate the user was using a cyrillic keyboard possibly therefore the password could be cyrillic characters.
Although I also tried marckesano - it is 10 characters....

 		I think we should also keep in mind that this is the first time something related to the coordinates puzzle becomes important to solve another puzzle. Also, i'd make a list of the 10-characters-long words related to The Junsui that we have. Maybe one of them is Patrick's password, but then, Patrick hasn't been all the time a member of The Junsui, so maybe his password is related to his previous life.

 		Passwords
Tried Redemption & redemption - no joy.
I'd guessed Yamantau for the Vimeo password & didn't think to try it lowercase. Newbie error! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now, but I'm finally in! Confused

I think the same. Furthermore he tipes that letter very fast , and he acess from the .ru version of that Dubai site. It's highly probable that the password is in cyrillic as his keyboard is, or maybe a string of numbers.

Site still doesn't appear to be posting anywhere. So, unless the password is within the Flash (which would be outrageously stupid), nothing you can do to make it work.

if this is accurate we may need to see what the outcome of this ''attack'' is, before we make any leeway.

 		I don't think that the title of this page from video is actually MOB, as you can see the whole page is in russian, so for me it would be russian letter "М"(same as in english) and "В"(which is V in english). And if you translate "Men of Taste" to russian, it would be "Мужчины Вкуса".

 		By the way, it's confirmed: the A-T main site login does less than nothing...

Code:
on (release)
{
    getURL("http://www.alfa-tsentr.ru/prov/", "");
}


Doesn't even care what you type in.

 		here are some files from alfa-tsentr website structure:

http://www.alfa-tsentr.ru/js/swfobject.js <<script in javascript
http://www.alfa-tsentr.ru/prov/main.swf <<main flash login Smile
http://www.alfa-tsentr.ru/prov/site.xml <<just displays this: bmp/ sounds/ swf/ flv_3/ xml/

maybe decompiling that flash we could get clues...
