magics.io/ The first Sunday challenge has started. Good luck.
Last night
>>51706275
This time. This time I'm getting in.
To those who solve puzzle 1, hold on to your results. Those who share are removed.
Someone from the 19 comment on what happens to you? The website says RIP matbee now...
THERE KILLING THE WINNERS.
Fuck the new one does not even have a extension
It looks like a audio file
>>51723615
it sounds extremely retarded, i don't know what to do next
how to slow the "song" ? Maybe with audacity?
I opened it in notepad, where the header said it was a WAVE file, so I opened it in VLC, which played digital tones, similar to some numbers stations such as XPA2 ( http://priyom.org/number-stations/digital/xpa2 )
we need to get everyone working on this together >>51723715
>>51724210
do the same rules as before apply? aka if someone shares the key the challenge is changed?
there is "Oggy Oggy Oggy" in the header where hints were placed yesterday anyone have any ideas?
Anddddd there is a reddit thread to https://www.reddit.com/r/PopCornTime/comments/3vmlhh/the_guys_who_made_popcorn_time_aurous_set_this_up/
>>51724338

It's not XPA2
Rivet isn't seeing any xpa2 numbers

NSA CONFIRMED
>>51724478
Sample Format
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 22100 Hz
Sample Size
1,730,476 bytes
approximately 667,000 usable samples
30.2 seconds
I feel this site is at the same time training everyone to evade the NSA.
It was all image related yesterday what if there is a picture inside the audio?
Well, it's an audio file. the hint is Oggy Oggy Oggy, that makes me think it has something to do with the Ogg Vorbis file type.
Yesterday it was about pulling data from the Red Channel Pixels.
Maybe there is a way to pull data from the audio file. Any ideas?
So is there any reason to load this 'image'?//<![CDATA[
try {
(function(a) {
var b = "http://",
c = "magics.io",
d = "/cdn-cgi/cl/",
e = "img.gif",
f = new a;
f.src = [b, c, d, e].join("")
})(Image)
} catch (e) {}
//]]>
>>51724556
>>51724591
Where was the image located last time?
>>51724556
>>51724591
I was thinking maybe it's SSTV encoded, and I've been trying to decode it that way, but I don't really know anything about the standard, or the software I'm using
>>51724597
Looks like just a tracking pixel for analitics.
>>51724538
etc. is the decoded DTFM
>>51724591
Changed the file type to downtherabbithole.ogg it was 40 seconds of 8-bit sounding audio. I'll open in Audicity and see what I can find.
>>51724631
Weird, they have 2 of those 1x1 images

What are you using there?
So where are you guys getting the image/sound from?

>>51724902
Hmm curious, how did you find that?
>>51724925
f12
>>51724925
look at the source, it's in the href of an element
>>51724925
If you click on the period, it's a download link.
I found it by inspecting the html
>>51723377
the key is little indian
hello wassup guys, ihave got various elements but don't know how to use them :
Is there anything helpful other than the page itself?
Because just a riff file playing some tones in an unknown format that doesnt seem to be DTMF doesn't really suggest a small search space
What about the fact the header part with matbee inside changed from:
"matbee's body is ready" to "RIP matbee"
Who is matbee?
>>51725047
Whoever he is i dont envy him.
>>51724902
One of the rarest
>>51725007
eat shit
>>51725047
I think it has little to do with the challenge. It's distracting from the raw data we've been given.
We gotta think of a way to pull some info from the DTMF or whatever else we can think of
it does tend to repeat itself quite a lot in the file. Any chance it's encoded with a different base?
What we all have :

I used a "translator" of binary which brought me to this pastebin : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7UknGBQz
and again i used the binary converter... To finally have this URL https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XjeMIgs3faw/maxresdefault.jpg

I'm lost but incredibly excited.
wait the founder of the game who is it?
also if he posted on twitter what if it has something todo with twitter to? hashtags?
>>51725163
you need to read more and post less
>>51725163
As i recall there was more than one but they are the same guys who made Popcorn time and other multi-million userbase strong apps aka ppl who would be looking for talent thats smart
>>51725120
anus is the rabbitole
>>51725120
>And this binary code i've found, on a H2 tag with Chrome Inspect Element
not sure where you found that, I can't find that in the page source
>>51725163
i looked for everything and olny found something when searching for #ripmatbee
https://twitter.com/SchizoDuckie/status/673646413075636224
>>51725259
that was very recent, i think we found another Magics Group member. *calls fbi*
you've got something there :D
>>51725329
is that what
>>51725120
referred to?
yes :)
https://twitter.com/KendamaGendale/status/673648490392641536
so what the fuck is this?
>>51725120
Reverse image search turned up
http://www.projectpegasus.net/
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Basiago
this shit went /x/ really fast
>>51725350
just checked, and yes it is
Found a program called Sonic Visualizer check it out. Got these from the audio
>>51725120
is there anything hidden in the pic?
>>51725120
I got this far as well.
but I don't know what matbee you guys are referring to, its nowhere in the code.
also, the file might be a wav format. when renamed and played it's mostly repeating stuff, but the beginning is something coherent. perheps someone will recognize it?
>>51725435
looks like a webm made from images in codes. it was something from a few threads ago. look up bitube decoder, then you'll get the original file.
https://twitter.com/Andrewmd5/status/673651215159422977
Going to guess this audio file leads you to a second puzzle
another, zoomed in
>>51725435
Looks like binary bit blocks encoded on that video.. But looking at the FPS and the size of the blocks you're probably going to lose data
The project pegasus website has been the exact same since at least 2011, idk how much you'll find on it.
Yesterday they had project Pegasus and i believe that was the first photo that was discovered to have been inside another. There is probably a photo inside the wav
>>51725120
>>51725437
The image is hosted at i.ytimg.com, which is where youtube stored its image files. Can we find the actual youtube video source?
>>51725586
it's just a bullshit lecture on time travel
>>51725586

>>51725586
nvm, part of the url corresponded to the video url
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjeMIgs3faw
One of the devs said yesterday it was a red herring .
https://twitter.com/luigiplr/status/673349146980433920
I knew the audio file sounded familiar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_s-ERJjh8k
>>51725512
If you can get me a better picture of the entire spectrum, I can plug it into the Harmor synthesizer, which will make an actual sound of it. Btw what would be the best way to share a sound on here?
https://twitter.com/n_o_n_n_o_n_o_n/status/673652296899764224
Someone solved it it seems
>>51725645
That's what I was saying here: >>51724618
I downloaded http://www.dxatlas.com/sstvtools/
but I couldnt figure out how to use it, got a divide by zero error and shit
did we figure out what DEAD BEEF from yesterday meant? Could they be musical notes?
>>51725735
Deadbeef the music player?
well shit
>>51725735
There was data hidden in the R channel, the password was hunter2
>>51725772
>Deadbeef the music player?
;)
One of the devs just posted this:
https://twitter.com/luigiplr/status/673655027370614785
Can't read this shit but decoded this from sstv a bit ago
Some one CSI enhance this shit
IT'S A FUCKING PEPE
Didn't the devs say in one the tweets to follow the *path* that will lead you to glory? what if there are more files in assets/ just not linked?
the fuck is going on
kill yourself with your fucking spam
>>51725819
Chod sa zabit ty kokot vyjebany
I found this http://magics.io/assets/redrum.bin
https://twitter.com/Andrewmd5/status/673655328416886784
pretty sure we're solving a murder
>>51725662
Look at vocaroo.com
>>51725259
what
>>51725850
It just says:
matbee-reap-what-you-sow.jpg
>>51725880
Im pretty sure we found phase two.
The twitter of the guy who found it said he found some text in the wav though? i feel there connected somehow
>>51725863
Doesn't vocaroo reencode? Try uguu.se
http://magics.io/assets/matbee-reap-what-you-sow.jpg
Oh boy whats going on
>>51725819
>of the guy who found it said he found some text in the wav though? i
It says
cleat-cap-coed-pause-quell-pond
What does it go to?
I created the audio file. I'll drop hints if needed, but it looks like someone already got it, so maybe not.
>>51725435
Kinda cool that the first few frames you can see the header.
Just got in~
Maybe this is mere child play for a Mensa member such as me.
>>51725916
who's Colleen? that isn't from matbee
>>51725819
did you like my rare pepe senpai uguu
>>51725939
What to do with that fucking text?
Does anyone know what cleat-cap-coed-pause-quell-pond is the password to? Doesn't work on the site
new image found at
http://magics.io/assets/matbee-reap-what-you-sow.jpg
>>51725981
ayy lmao
no idea desu
>>51725981
i just figured that out
that is the password to extract data from the matbee image in steghide
it extracts a file that if you rename to jpg you get a file coffee.immortal
not sure what i'm looking at now though
There are two phases to this one :/
>>51725997
i mean, rename to zip and extract** and get coffee.immortal
>>51726009
what do you see???
>>51726017
garbled text. much clearer than some from yesterday tho. i'm thinking it's a certain filetype but i don't see any header and it's only 98kb
"Q "~ "« "O # #2 #_ #Œ #1 #æ $ $@ $m $š $Ç $ô %! %N %{ %¨ %Õ & &/ &\ &‰ &¶ &ã ' '= 'j '— 'Ä 'ñ ( (K (x (¥ (Ò (ÿ ), )Y )† )3 )à *

looks like this ^
>>51725997
Why is steghide opening a console then immediately closing?
>>51726042
because it's intended to be run from the command line.
>>51726040
maybe it's an image? start playing around with different formats to see if you can't get it
>>51726040
Seems to be a custom file format, never seen it before. Data is encoded over streams, we need a good coder now.
>>51725712
it's reversed
>>51726009
got this from https://futureboy.us/stegano/decinput.htmlThe payload may be:
Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
To display, I might suggest using a MIME type of:
application/zip
"steganoin3025.jpg":
format: jpeg
capacity: 55.8 KB
embedded file "steganopayload1958.txt":
size: 39.7 KB
encrypted: rijndael-128, cbc
compressed: yes
>>51726053
That's what I meant, it's opening a command line window then immediately quitting.
>>51726040
Post hexdump
>>51726076
Zip contained coffee.immortal file.
>>51726083
http://termbin.com/k9nq
>>51726081
set environment variables and cd to where you have steghide stored.
Pretty sure i found some stats log of successful:failed
http://magics.io/stat.txt
>>51726097
got the cofee.immortal file, but what is that .jpg and .txt file? how to get them
>>51726126
nevermind
>>51726126
Where did you see a jpg and txt file from the .zip?
>>51726122
yeah someone tweeted that 19 people have won
nice finding
>>51726083
help us follow your line of thinking
you able to find anything from the hex dump?
>>51726195
Look at offset
00005db0
>>51726195
Not really. I know part of the challenge cuz I made the audio file but I don't know what to do with it. I don't feel like solving this one today but I'll keep an eye out on you guys' progress.
http://magics.io/stat.txt
well shit its increasing,
>>51726097
coffee.immortal identified as .ABR extension, ABR is photoshp brush
thisiso{rf{t{rebeholdgodking
>>51726212
i see it.
not sure if anything
>>51726271
Idiot.
>>51726266
I found that too, ran it through an ABR2GBR converter and got nothing.
>>51726276
After caesar encoding it gives
thisiso{rf{t{rebeholdgodking
(I posted that in prev post)
>>51723377
you people are retarded
>>51726278
It did not work for me as code so i guessed its not the solution

How did you determine it was abr? It's not, as far as I can tell.
>>51726495
I used TrID

>>51726495
I ran it though some file identifiers listed on http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/File_Format_Identification#TrID_-_File_Identifier and two said that it was .abr
>>51726536
>http://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html
Its wrong.
I'm still stuck here, i dont know what this code >> 51726271 i got is useful for. Any ideas?
Might there be some garbage data aka noise in?
>>51726579
where/how did you come up with that?
>>51726631
>>51726212
>>51726291
(Both my and a friends finds)
it can be decoded in 3 lines of Java.

You want to tell us exactly what is it that's so cool about your stuff?
Is there any proof that the puzzles these guys put up are even solvable?

Did somebody else figured out what it was?

the sound is an SSTV signal, just decode that

It is, you're on the right path, you just aren't thinking critically.
The answer is always 6.
>>51726896
That was rare pepe with password for steg

It was changed just a few seconds after that post though.
>>51727057
No, it's "c2 lc"
>>51727049
It's not a brush you fucking retards, it doesn't even have a header, it wouldn't load correctly, it has some kind of byte offset, but I have no idea how to read it, because I've never had to use it when I've programmed
>>51727047
>>51727078
Why "-14"?
The answer was publicly released. The puzzle is now insolvable.
>>51727081
o shit it looks like the it changed from 19:8*** to 19:9500
The pass for Johny bravo is #ripmatbee . Got a new binary now.
>>51727148
It is still unanswered, no one has joined the path of glory.
>>51727148
No one answered right yet according to the stats
Can we do some wrap ups, so we know where we're all at.

I think this is a password for something, perhaps related to that sound file, but I don't know much about that stuff..
>>51727148
where?
>>51727148
Proof that you're one of the devs?
>>51727171
So close, yet so far, but by sharing the password, you will disqualify yourself. When you solve it, you may join the path.
>>51727148

What is this audio file that people are mentioning?
>>51727268
This is literally how fucking stupid they sound.
>>51727171
The original sound file? Didn't that already yield the password for the zip decode?
Is the godking string just in the raw text of the immortal?
>>51727271
click on the dot
>>51727268
Now what?
Holy fuck, I just realized something, the people behind this are probably losers that have no friends, so they made this so that they could get attention!
>>51727284
Fuck I'm going to bed, it's 1.30am and I got to wake up at 7am for work.
I forgot to mention it's caeser cipher'd by 8 positions.

Don't know why you idiots are wasting your time with stuff that's already solved. Focus on godking string.
>>51727316
sorry caser cipher 6
>>51727310
The guys who made it are confirmed to be some very well known and respected devs. Also looks like two are in the middle of lawsuits, i dont think they are doing it for attention XD
>>51727344
Popcorn time and Aurous i think are the words you were looking for.
someone said something about yts/yifi to?
>>51727344
so what do you think they are doing it for then???
>>51727357
If i were making a company and looking for people of equal talent i would be doing something like this.
