Damn, nice find.

Can you explain how it was found?

Go to the source code of the page (ctrl u) and press f5, I kept doing this and found 2 of those clean images

Ah!, nicely done, did you post the first?
I must have missed it, im on mobile!

Vince 02-07-2017 11:24 AM

Does anyone know how to find the list in which it picks the images?

cdgoodwill 02-07-2017 11:27 AM

A program is being run as I speak, expect the next cwb's a lot quicker

OrangeLightning 02-07-2017 11:30 AM

Working on piecing together the clear bits now! I'm gonna keep at it, bit here's the first bits together. Poor little Mud...

After all of the CWB's have been found, I will compile them in one post

Another 2 found:

I'm currently finding some of these my straight bruteforcing the site with this script:

cdgoodwill 02-07-2017 11:33 AM

Yeah, Artemisbot is the one running the scripts, I'll compile in a few short minutes

I think the two scraps straight above the Mudokon's head fit together.

EDIT: Never mind, the angles are different on each one.

Mr. Molluck, I think you're definitely right about it being Vykker's Lab related, this looks a lot like an experiment.

e: Can we not use scripts, I’m pretty sure that’s cheating and could wind up spoiling a later part of the ARG.

Of small note: the text below each picture cycles through a few different messages:

:

Our movement will spread like a raging inferno. Together we can expose the truth. 1029.
:

We will not be silenced. We will not be ignored. We will not stop. We will not obey. Together we can expose the truth. 1029.
:

[REDACTED] Together we can expose the truth. 1029.

:

Abe was the spark. We are the fire. Together we can expose the truth. 1029.
:

The fire within us can never be extinguished. Together we can expose the truth. 1029.
:

We are the storm. Together we can expose the truth. 1029.
:

There’s a storm coming. Together we can expose the truth. 1029.
:

Listen to the spirit of the past. Together we can expose the truth. 1029.

We're not spoling the arg, we're using specified scripts to work only on this page, it can't spoil anything else

I thought it seemed more like a newer version of the Tear Extractor.

Except the cleaned images aren’t appearing on the actual page, so they’re probably not meant to be found just yet. Bruteforcing isn’t the solution here.

cdgoodwill 02-07-2017 11:43 AM

They do appear on the page! I just go into the source code so that I can refresh faster.
And, Bruteforcing is a common thing in a ARG's, so we aren't breaking the rules.

I'm only getting the image links from the actual page, and cd was getting them inside his browser before my script was finished. AFAICT, the images are only accessible at a set time since we keep getting them at the same time, I've just added time logging to check this theory.

thefreeman42 02-07-2017 11:45 AM

This one clearly shows that it's a Magog Cartel logo.

What is an artemis bot? I clicked the page and now im worried

cdgoodwill 02-07-2017 11:48 AM

That's just Matt's user name on these forums. Funny story actually...

At the bottom of the screen, is that A Vykkers Labs logo?

Well, the Vykkers would be the only ones qualified to do something like this though wouldn't they? :goof:

I think this is run entirely server side, as a php file or similar. This way we can never see the list, it just inserts the path of a random image into the HTML when you request the page. That file is also probably automatically releasing new clean versions on a timer, or after a certain ammount of requests. This could be why they are only finding images every now and then. I think

GlitterPanther 02-07-2017 11:51 AM

Nevermind

OK, after further checking I did come across CWB13_insertcodehere.JPG by manually refreshing the page, so you’re right in that they are visible on the page. My apologies for the mistake.

e: The code on CWB13_insertcodehere.JPG is visible as binary code, I’ll work on translating.
