You guys are some true champions here.  I am vey impressed.  Everyone is contributing something at some point.  Good luck to you all.  I hope you get the prize.  I just got off of work.  All the links blew up our internet policy flags as I tried to visit each one.  Be on the carpet tomorrow...lol

And I just wanted to bump this thread back up.  Maybe figure a way to work on the remaining file.

How about that text from the qr-code which got us to Again.7z?

Code:
"Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor."

http://qr.w69b.com/g/t2lFujr0I


I've tried doing sha(sha()) on said text, the title of the book and the name of the author using a different casese, spaces, with and without hyphen-minus...
No luck so far.

So we only concentrating using Sha256 right {Linked to the hint.... "use Bitcoin method" ?

Just thought I'd ask.

I'm using the broken SHA256d, assuming the hint in the OP isn't meant to be misleading.

we're bruteforcing it almost.. any clues?

I don't know. I've taken a selection of words from this thread, the comments in the extra file and the track names, threw in the words from the book the quote was from when I ran out of mutations. Currently running every word through ~150 mutations as well as verbatim. No luck as of yet.

There's one last file that hasn't been used from the DOD game.

Code:
https://mega.co.nz/#!nUkAVbAQ!f9iGWcW8gNOwKkCIYIfuvk1e7qy_1w7zXOShJVLMTK8
The file from that link is sped up, but it looks like the sampling rate was left at 8000 Hz. Every other file in the sound folder that I checked has a rate of 22050 Hz.

Instead of speeding it up, you can change the sampling rate to 22050 Hz on the original and get something of similar length and sound to the file above, but not exactly the same.

I'll post this here for comparison if anyone's interested:

Much better than my hack job. Some sort of NES game soundtrack?

We need a bot that constantly checks OP's #1 post for new hints, since they're so ephemeral now and likely to be missed.

Gives the trolls something to do.
