Again "Exif". Anyone any clue what it is? (maybe something pointless, but never hurts to ask)

Exif is a file format type. Nothing important.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

God damn I don't know how to make it find the file, but I get it to compile!

http://atb.nationgaming.com/hl2/hl2/Example2.php

// Retrieve the JPEG image filename from the http url request
                        if ($GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS']['filename']=="/gman.jpg")
                        {
                                echo "<p>No filename defined</p>\n";
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                $filename = $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS']['filename'];
                        }

That is where I am inputting the filename as that is where it first lists the filename ==.... Okay hmmm I tried "gman.jpg" "/gman.jpg" the actual link to it, and still "can't open file"...

somebody get on aim to help me figure this out!

Again "Exif". Anyone any clue what it is? (maybe something pointless, but never hurts to ask)

EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression.

from www.exif.org,
tried looking at it in Photo Studio, it just seems to be the portion of the hex edit where the comment about nova prospekt is stored.

 

[xrdanielalan]

I ran the .jpeg through an Exif Reader, but don't know what I am seeing...anybody else do this yet?

 

[SupraRZ95]

exif = fixe ?

 

[xrdanielalan]

Nevermind.

It's REALLY hard to find anything helpful to work with when all these people are posting stuff that has nothing to do with this and aren't helping at all.

metadata is irrelevant data that can be inserted into the jpg image, and one of the functions does what I believe valve did to insert it.

 

[lemmingzappa]

Well found switch, anyone needs to try searching on this

maybe we should make an irc channel or something, instead of just making this thread into a 50 page conversation

 

[guise]

i dont know if its just me but the http://half-life2.com/test directory just went incredibly slow while i was doing trial and error guesses at usernames while using "nova/prospekt" as the password... could something have been updated in there?

v.good idea

 

[lemmingzappa]

Hmm dunno, probably just your net connection went slower for a few seconds.

 

[Icarus]

It's fine for now

 

[lemmingzappa]

Ok Can Someone Create An Irc Channel And Post It Here !!!

 

[DoctorGordon]

Dont know if this means anything but:

In German:
nova prospekt

In English:
new facts folder

(dictionary.com translator)

 

[KagePrototype]

I'd rather we don't create an irc room, it's much easier to follow here.

 

[mannyfresh027]

which server?

 

[Lobster]

Well the message is in the color transfer block... means nothing i know

 

[Iced_Eagle]

There are probably soo many people hammering that right now lol :cheers:

 

[lemmingzappa]

DOctor gordon we already know that

 

[Icarus]

If you want a channel
#SecondTest

on quakenet

 

[DvS]

tried to do a compile, it didn't really decode the info near the password section, but alot of sidedata appeared...

http://thepcnerd.net/imager/test.php

 

[mannyfresh027]

you dont have to compile php D:

 

[lemmingzappa]

Yea but he mean view it locally without online hosting

 

[Sashswash]

In the embedded text:

ëÇü&X†vœª*˜ý’Ìú
»½š+˜
˜«Ê)E¥E¿yI°ôœo_]m$Î.sU;ȯsâ¥ÿM{jÀšïÇât2º#îá

In notepad, the ¯ is represented as a box respembling a "D". Could this say Tuesday? Open the embedded text in notepad...i think i see some hidden notes!

 

[xrdanielalan]

I think this thread should be locked so information isn't constantly reposted. We should just use the official IRC-channel and go from their. That way, only those were are intending on solving it will connect. Just a suggestion.

 

[link84]

Could someone post a link to the file that opens the GCF?

 

[DeltaBlast]

I'm out, seeya guys tomorrow

 

[Daiceman9]

i would guess that Nova is the login and prospekt is the password as it it the format for alot of things.

 

[KagePrototype]

We should be able to still use this thread for people to keep up on things without having to endure 99% rubbish on an IRC channel.

 

[Narcolepsy]

Interesting stuff. Though I really think all of you are reading way too much into this with all of your fancy decoders. It's probably based more on logic and common sense.

 

[lemmingzappa]

Im running out of ideas, i thnk we need to backtrack

 

[Icarus]

Everything is being repeated

There is a IRC channel for this now
#SecondTest

on quakenet

*Closed*
