(Possible Trailhead) Welcome To Task Force: STALKER
Tip via email

I got a strange email saying I've been assigned to Task Force: STALKER. Link from email: http://www.operationhammertime.co.za/. It is also from co.za, the same as Ghost Recruit, the first arg I've joined, but I'm not sure if they're related. I think this could lead somewhere.

EDIT: Guys just to clarify I'm not trolling with this. I actually got this in my email and it is real.

When I finished doing the Basic Training thing for Ghost Recruit, it made me sign up again and it sent an email saying to activate my profile for Operation Hammer Time, so pretty sure they're related. I confirmed my account, but I haven't received an email about it, though.

Am I missing something about the site? I can't do anything and all it displays is the logo.
Not sure how to proceed

In the briefing, at the bottom they listed a url for "Decrypted Data" http://www.chupacabra.co.za/

It's just a picture of a chupacabra at the top, but there's a hidden link in the bottom right corner of the page that leads to a "private chat login" But I don't know what the username or password are.

The username and password are coded in the download file on the briefing page but my access to that site is restricted from work. I will try from another location later.

The username is - conquistador

I saw there was a lot going on on the main page, but nothing I understand.

Sounds to me like 3658, actually.
I cannot for the life of me understand anything else he says.

For the login (on the main site) would you have to participate in the Ghost recruit thing? Not sure if I would be lacking information if I proceed without it?

Nothing jumps out at me on the ufo sightings site, but I have to work soon so I haven't gone into it much.

Got an email linking this http://www.ufosightings.co.za/658/

So I guess the numbers were 658. The link links to other things like a blacked out budget document, a blank website from what I can see, and a news article about the assassination of former Rwandan intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya (which is really weird seeing that linked to an ARG since I went to high school with his son)

new stuff

so I got an email titled "Mission Update" I'm not sure if anyone else got this email, so I don't want to ruin it.
It read:
Dear Private

We have linked traffic on the domain: http://baalbeck.co.za
Data Packets are being uploaded from a masked IP as we speak.

We need to intercept the data and verify the identity of the users on the network.

Our friends at Forensics has supplied us with an extraction tool to access the information. We have accessed a directory and the website and installed the application. http://baalbeck.co.za/xtracto/

Login Details:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Username: ghost
Password: masterkey
(this works on xtracto program, not operation hammertime login)


We will be able to analyse the data once it has been extracted.

Log in the view updates on your missions page

http://www.operationhammertime.co.za

Military Intelligence Branch.



and it led me to this
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.operationhammertime.co.za/xtracto_v1-3/import-522342/



I'm going to do some digging with what I found there and I'll post on that later.


edit: I'm still not getting the login thing either :/ Is anyone else able to login?

okay, so I figured out the login thing. I signed up for the ghost recruit thing here: http://www.ghostrecruit.co.za/
Then there was an email confirmation
A couple days ago I got an email giving me a username and password that works on the operation hammertime site. (I didn't know about it because my email sorted it into the wrong folder)


Anyway, I got another email with a video of a (apparently suspicious) girl doing something on a computer in a internet cafe in Cape Town, South Africa.


I'm pretty sure the links work without logging in, so here's the information I've gotten:
http://www.operationhammertime.co.za/interception/
and as mentioned before,
http://www.operationhammertime.co.za/briefing/


So far, I'm not sure what to make of the information. I'll keep looking and if I find anything worth mentioning, I'll post here.

Dear Private

We were able to recover limited information from the Computer that was used on Thursday in the Internet Cafe.

We are currently still busy data mining and would like to get started on analyses. Could you give us a hand?

<<Download>>>

Report back with your findings.

We are investigating further and will notify you of any breakthroughs.
