Hey guys, new here and still trying to play catch-up. I've read through the thread and thought I'd try to contribute some. Not really sure if it's still relevant (rumored onion-skin map?) but here's the fixed version of the image that I came up with...
http://i.imgur.com/dGQiUeP.jpg
Topic: ARG Puzzle with 3.5 BTC Private Key Prize, Game Over - page 80. (Read 99514 times)
I have my son following up on the texture map notion in Blender right now, Will keep you updated, but already a few renders look like they might have readable, legible symbols if added to the right frame.
7:51 in the Disney version is when Alice is talking to the doorknob, telling it that she's looking for a white rabbit. I'm dubious about that direction since it's hard to pin down exact times in films, especially with so many different releaes of the same film out there. That said, the doorknob does tell her she needs to get bigger to reach a key... riffing off of this even further, the password to the file is not "eat me" or "drink me", nor is it the SHA-1 or SHA256 of either of those phrases, nor is it 7-51 characters or 7-51 bits of those hashes.
Hare-brained idea: the diagram is actually showing some stonehenge-like megaliths that cast shadows, and 7:51 is the time... 7:51 is when the sun sets in Tel Aviv today! Ummm... yeah.
I'm still looking for the RIGHT rabbit hole. I am on board with the "get the SHA of something, then it's the password for the file" plan, but I'm not sure what that something is.
the not particularly interesting google results for bitsha:
- a girl on deviantart
- an anagram of "habits"
- a south african miner who is suing his mine over lung disease (worth a read for non-puzzle reasons)
- a go package for SHA224/256: http://godoc.org/github.com/ThePiachu/Split-Vanity-Miner-Golang/src/pkg/BitSHA
I was hoping that "Bit" referred to the bitcoin public address, but that didn't work out.

I get the feeling like we need to get a word or phrase and convert it to sha256 but haven't been able to find anything, but then why Bit Sha and not just sha? fried brain here.

I have the same feeling and the same doubt.Tried a couple of SHA-1 and SHA-256 on the zip but no luck.
Found someone on deviantART called "bitsha", but didn't see anything related to AIW or the Cheshire Cat... She wrote a comment someday at 7:51 but nothing to do with this, seems just an innocent girl with the "wrong" nickname.
I'm done for today, keep going and good luck.

Sha-256 is 512 bits.
Sha we use is 256
Bit 512?
Sha 256?
I actually think this might be a 3d modelling texture map
More Alice in Wonderland stuff:
BitSha can spell habits which can relate quite a bit to Alice in Wonderland.
Edit: ie drug use

lol so frustrating, i've tried so many dif words, with and without spaces, plain text and converted into sha256, with no joy
not sure where to go with the Alice in Wonderland thing, yet 7:51 and July 1951 do seem to be a strange coincidence.

Damn you guys are good!
Please somebody put me up-to-date... you opened a .7z, got a pic and are trying to open another .7z?

That's correct. The .7z can be downloaded from: bit .ly/1juqeCj
(remove the space, this forum nukes the address otherwise)
Then the password for the .7z is the public bitcoin address.
As xELx said, first movie got out 26/7/1951. Got a peak at the movie at minute 7, and Alice realises she can walk upside down, i don't know if it's just a coincidence...

Sorry about that.

I don't think that would work from a reverse engineering perspective... in order to construct the puzzle, she'd have to change the puzzle, then the hashes would be wrong.
You're right.

I was checking the ASCII representation of the binary bits 7-51 of the SHA 1 and 256 hashes of the hint image. Maybe the original image? Anyway, the other problem with my theory is 45 = 9 * 5, so it doesn't break up evenly into bytes, 7-bit ASCII, hex nibbles, or really anything useful.

I'm personally leaning towards that thing in the middle being the cheshire cat, but I'm also a big Alice in Wonderland geek, so that might be part of it.
It is surprisingly challenging to extract clearer image data out of that picture. As soon as you desaturate it everything goes away, if you bump up the contrast it goes crazy, etc. The letters are relatively simple.
So, the original Alice in Wonderland film came out in July of 1951... AKA: 7:51.
I assume it's called Onion.7z because it's going to have many layers, not as a reference to TOR.
Actually, I get the impression it's called 'onion' because it's an onionskin map. An overlay to place over the original 'key' to unlock a new hint, like the invisible enderman image was an onionskin map

Overlay this most recent image onto the FIRST image, and fade it out. This is what the clue suggests, and the 'shadows' that everyone thinks are a skull, or teeth, or something... That's ACTUALLY the clue overlay...
Yeah, I've been staring at this image REALLY hard and made out the outline of their heads.
Like the link page says
>Use the first for the next!

I was pondering whether it might mean: positions 7 through 51 of the SHA hash of the public bitcoin address
so I get

==>
bfbf4d0b33f24fc0117571e299a7ae523f476560b2aefcf2cd563f0a7e345459
then the 7:51 subset is :
b33f24fc0117571e299a7ae523f476560b2aefcf2cd563
This doesn't work as a password on the 7zip. Thought I'd share in case anyone else had bright ideas what to do with it.
(edit: I see timewave0 already had a similar idea... remember that in the case of this password, she won't have needed to predict anything. this does rule us out finding onion addresses and other things she couldn't have had creative control over via hashing.
edit2: riffing off of timewave0, I also checked binary bits 7-51 of the public key hash and no dice there either. check my work if you like
11011111101001101000010110011001111110010010)
edit3: sorry I keep editing inline! I was a copy-editor in a former life and it shows. that and the 360 second limit keeps blocking me from creating new posts.
