Some of you might have wondered where I have been the last days.

I posted a .pdf file yesterday, that was removed by the mods. Not sure why, probably because it had no proper introduction and I used the first one click hoster that did not want my mail.

I though the name of the file "the_trail.pdf" was clue enough to what it is. It was not finished, it is not finished now, but it will serve for those that want to catch up.

The short version is not done yet, it might never be done in time, depending on the way this goes. The file is very large because of the pictures inside.

here are the files: https://mega.co.nz/#F!Nlo2QJ4T!lgKMM21_MUhG99BRbwZhHQ

in WOW there is a xmp packet

All that data matches up with what http://regex.info/exif.cgi has labeled the Paint Based Correction. This might just be the OPs edits on top of the original.

[Prospero]

exiftool also shows there's an photoshop thumbnail that is 33KB.

false lead. it's just a real thumbnail.

note how z69JZqlJn862D1ndx7oLVEMmV0lP1zewEeUCrsI7Roahzpeny7P
is 51 chars long... same as the bitcoin private key!

Herbert Kappler escapes from the Caelian Hill military hospital in Rome.

That's what usually comes to my mind when I hear wow, tot wow signal from SETI(or world of warcraft).
This thread is mighty interesting, 92 pages already? wow!

[ooxtcoo]

here is the peek tool result which show all strings and ascii from the  WOW.jpg file:

moth, day, year is exact the same!

[Gatekeeper]

yes that's the original, so we're working with the info that has been changed which is
z69JZqlJn862D1ndx7oLVEMmV0lP1zewEeUCrsI7Roahzpeny7P

that's the clue we have, but again no other help

getting boring for me now, such needle in haystack every time
