Re: [Puzzle] Audio Files hiding steganography

[pjv2]

If you look at these files it is clear to see that the originals are encoded as mp3s and saved with a wav extension. If you didn't uncompress them when combining them it wouldn't effect the stenography. I took the files from here:

http://maxdamage.justblank.net/beewavs.htm

unless maxdamage is messing with us then I think it's authentic.

Since last night I have been able to also find steg in kamal's story using passcode:
parasiteseyesbeerfour_goatsour_hoodlumsmuch_liftingmeditapeyou_couldsay_somethingguiltymessage_savedtunahi_aiden
Last night i had pillow in the kamals monolog(sourced from the bruce), I realized my mistake today and fixed it.


I still haven't gotten jan's to story work using passcode:
blippillowwalkaway_girlhey_soldierpqistupid_copyes_or_nohey_dadnervouslaw_abidingyou_knew

Maybe emergency needs to be combined into jans story for this to work on it as emergency yields no files either.

EDIT: Just realized the jan file had emergency in it already maybe i need one with emergency pulled out. does anyone have a version like this?

Can some one please verify this independant of me as a find it hard to believe this is coincedence.[/i]

max thanks for anwering back so quick. Damn you fast.

Do you have a jan story without emergency on the end of it?

I agree that it fits in with the jan narrative. The only reason to disinclude it would be the rewind sounds at the beginning and end maybe signifying that it is an independant file.

I hope people know that I'm being authentic here and not screwing around. The files won't even complete the decrypt if there is none in there so this definitely isn't random noise.

One file could be a coincedance but with two there's no way.

Again urging someone to independantly verify so I don't seem like one lone nut

Page updated, as per request, complete with link to the mirror, for those willing to show a little mercy for me.

Thanks maxdamage. Tried the new file still didn't work...

Speaking of work I better go hopefully someone figures this out while I'm there.

The txt flie does not look like a picture (or any other raw data from a useful file I've ever seen before).

I find it curious that the passcode is the filename...how do you know that you aren't just picking up some sort of header information? Also, why work with compiled info...why not work with the original wavs from ilb? Just go to the fun stuff page and download each file for yourself.

If there is steg in the files, it should be there without the files being joined.

I tried combining all the audio files myself for jersey.mp3 and I comeup with a file that is 1.23 seconds longer than max's and the steg no longer works. my file is an unedited file of 30.73 seconds max's is 29.50.

Also tried all the individual files with just there names as the password and all the individual files with the combined names as passwords. none of these works.

I further tried rearranging the words and decoding the file that I've successfully decoded before just in case it was some quirk with password length. This also failed. It's just to large of a coincedance for me to ignore.

Perhaps I'm just two dense for my own good.

Okay, just so you have some reassurance, I just tried the same experiment on both combined and individual files, with various passphrases and without passphrases. The only thing that worked at all was the combined ones, with combined names as passphrases. I'm working on checking out how coincidental that may be.
