I was thinking that the gibberish photoshopped into the pictures of the house - like 'kw3x754w3rt - whatever' may be vigenere code, but the format isn't right. And that's a good Idea. Just downloaded VBVigenere. Thank god my school lets me on the internet instead of going to gym.

It's also a good thing we have outlook so I can send things to my AOL account at home.

Maybe we could try 'Vigenere' or 'Blaise de Vigenere' as the key?

AND... PAGE 70!!! W00t! w00t! *throws a funky dance par-tay.*

Remind me - I couldn't find the page after reading it - how did you guys solve the code in the Lighthouse and/or candle pic?

The gibberish from the window is

Ml6 8vk8lzxsv7
6l GDJ yl FJ,

turned upside-down and backwards. It decodes to

Ml6 8vk8lzxsv7 6l GDJ yl FJ,
Not reproaches to 639 by 59.

using the following key and rules:

ABCDEFGHIJklm.!
zyxwvutsrqpon,?
0123456789

In a given ciphertext:
Characters (letters or puncuation) from the top or middle rows are substitutions for those in the opposite row.
Capital letters represent numbers (A-J == 0-9), unless they're at the beginning of a sentence (such as the M=N in the window text).
Numbers represent the lowercase letter above them.

Maybe we could try 'Vigenere' or 'Blaise de Vigenere' as the key?

Viggy keywords can't have spaces in them (otherwise that's a good idea). It was one of the first things I tried, but VBV may give a different/better result than the program I've been using.

The second to last post in page 11 on this thread has a decent explanation; if you need more details PM me.

Okay now that I'm all caught up- I can be useful

[SilverPhoenix]

Sounds like a plan.

...so, uh.. any ideas? :p

[PizzaMonkey]

sun and Death's htm filename is FindTheDate... Maybe we need to set our system clocks to "the date" in order to answer? That would be a huge leap, even if we didn't actually know the answer.

[SilverPhoenix]

Possibly; however, that would take a (probably) javascript-based system check ( {var thisdate = new Date();}, or something similar ), which isn't called anywhere in the source that we've seen so far, except on TheBoy.htm--which is an incomplete script to begin with.

Also, what date do you suggest? There are between 15 and 20 dates right on the photos--the immediate one that comes to mind is on date.jpg... the one(s) inside the /6/ light could be it too, though.

I'm sorry to be playing devil's advocate, here--you have some good suggestions, I just can't think of a good way to implement them.

[PizzaMonkey]

the first thing that came to my mind was the D-day anniversary. And you never know what hidden super-triple-encrypted-programs this guy might have.

And could someone screencap that spectrogram of Cherry Knowle? I don't know how to get a spectrogram thingy.

Edit: And also, with each keyword I try, i get some coherent words, they even almost seem to fit together, and then the rest is gibberish.

[SilverPhoenix]

on the contrary--there's only one way for {any programs he's got} to do anything with the date on my computer, and that's through a form submission (hidden or not) that feeds some sort of actual data back to his server. The only < form > on the site is on the homepage, and all it does is... well, nothing.

CDUniverse has a decent writeup about CK; the spectrogrammed image is a black-and-white version of the cover, with all text removed.

A possible start point for keywords: try finding ones that are 9, 12, or 18 letters long (the longer gibberish text is divisble by those three).

you know, maybe he's got a point... if we could just piece together the words maybe it'd form something... then again maybe not..

what happened to the whole gotanda death thing in tokyo or whatever? i thought that was where the answer lied?

oh and werent the forums supposed to be back up?

But,
www.thisisnotporn.com/forums (without the slash) redirects to
http://www.krisboruff.com/forums/ which gives a 404 message.
http://www.krisboruff.com/ exists, but it is an empty page.

Let this be a lesson to you all, never trust you web host.

ETA: [edit] Well I get to the old TINP db.. bear with me, I know you are already, but I understand how it is to be told "hold on" when you're already there.

what?

[priestx]

We're getting it back up now

[Mr. Ears]

so is your idea of getting it back up deleting it? cuz it says it doesnt exist anymore...

[SilverPhoenix]

Mr. Ears, the forums have moved from the tinp.com servers to priestx's place--the new address is http://www.ketadreams.com/forum/ (well, it will be when they're back up, unless px changes something in the meantime).

[Mr. Ears]

i know that, i'm just saying that, that website says its been deleted
