edit3: it's also unclear what the next step is - there's no obvious thing to unzip, so does that mean we're almost done? even if that's the case, I am going to step away from the keys for a while. Smiley

The JPEG is too big for my liking.

are you guys sure that there is nothing more to unzip?

my app ask me for a password to unzip Wow.jpg ...

There's nothing more hidden in the file. What we have is right in the image.

I can confirm that there is a 7z file embedded inside the wow.jpg.

Seperating them, however, is a task I'll leave to others more suited for that task.


Sorry, false positive, but initially seemed legit.

Why would you think that?

There's 170KB unaccounted for, this could easily be explained by the thumbnail and edit path.

Are you have it? If yes, can you post a hash of this?

I wrote a tool that runs through various obfuscation techniques (XOR, shift) on the image and attempts to find magic bytes of known file types. Piles of false positives, but nothing which decodes to a valid file of any type. Tried hundreds, star, 7zip, zip, rar, etc etc.

Yeah, sorry, this did end up being a false positive, I ran it through a hex editor, excised the parts that 'may' have been a 7z compressed file, no match to any known compression type.

Sorry, looks like the file is the file.

This is it.

(Also, to find some of these faster, notepad++ with little endian encode.)

In addition to the "CHANNEL NUMBER, (TWO DIGITS, WRITTEN VERTICALLY)" and the numbers below that, the header right next to that has been moved a little bit.

Have a look at the difference between the original and the modified file:
https://i.imgur.com/rXn7XZ4.jpg

You can see it nudge around here:

https://i.imgur.com/0aDncXb.gif

Along with the XMP data describing traces of some random brushstrokes around the image (of which I composed perhaps a more accurate plot here) , I feel like this header moving is probably unrelated. Just mistakes left by the riddler. But I thought to share anyway! You have made so much progress and I haven't been able to contribute much after the minecraft and QR code phaze, so maybe you can find something meaninful in this too.

Sorry for the gigantic images.

The Wow.jpg looks a lot like Braile. {Text for the blind} on the left hand side or are we back at Morse?

what are you going to do if you figure out the public address's private key?  how does one go about claiming the BTC in the address?
thx

If you have the privkey you open Bitcoin Core, open the debug console, type "importprivkey keykeykeykeyhere", and wait for your monies to appear.

the_trail.pdf said you were a dick, but i says Thanks you!

edit: ok maybe you is a dick!  i will follow the mathgate.info advice if i fungers it out.
