Don't know if you guys have seen this yet - did a search and nothing came back.

Wanted to share as I love puzzles like this - I am sure it is some publicity stunt.

So far reddit has been able to find photos and messages hidden in the spectrum of the audio, morse, GPS coordinates, Unicode.

Also another guy on reddit took the common bits and pieces people across various sites were finding and here is the average of what he thinks portions say

After following 4 different forums and trying to visualise everybody's opinions and all the clues figured out.
I think that most people read the signs wrong.
I think the movie originated in Russia.
Why? Here is my calculation:
America Parker wright: isr = intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance programs US GOVERMENT 11bx MOS code for bomb pilot 1/3/71 bomb in America Killthepresident Coordinates to the White House Plague mask 312 - 312th day 8-11 or 3-12 2015therewillbethree
I think it means: In 2015 there will be a third- WW3 started with a toxic/nuke thrown on the White House which kills the president. on either the 8th of November or the 3rd of December.
I think the "snuff" images are images of testing the toxin or victims of radiation

I am sure this is a PR stunt and if the above were true CIA would have that stuff broke and understood ASAP. Not to mention why would anyone who wanted to pull something off give clues before. Regardless pretty awesome PR stunt

Various single characters appear for short periods of time throughout the video:
00:00.680: a a a a
00:17.360: S
00:23.680: n
00:30.400: e
00:31.840: g
01:25.240: u
01:43.720: t t t t t
01:53.360: h h h h
There seems to be some peculiar spacing between the repeated characters. Perhaps this is of some significance.

A sequence of Morse code characters are seen at 00:03.840.
User /u/calrathan decoded this sequence to read: REDLIPSLIFETENTH
User /u/cipherface then determined this to be an anagram of KILLTHEPRESIDENT

Three pairs of two-digit, single-alpha characters:
00:10.320: 07-G
00:11.840: 06-F
01:16.440: 23-W

20 pairs of two-digit characters at 00:28.240.

A sequence of flashing lights at 00:32.920.

A sequence of characters in Wingdings 3 font at 01:26.520.
The characters are particularly those that represent digits 0-9.
/u/eyespassim has begun work decoding these characters

Pigpen cipher key at 01:23.880.
User /u/gaffen has begun work decoding this ciphertext here.

Algebraic notation of "E2-E3 D1-F3 F1-C4 F3xF7"at 01:37.000.
User /u/usuda determined this to be a 'four-move checkmate in chess'.

Character-subcharacter ciphertext at 01:51.600.

Fucking weird.   From the reddit thread:

I don’t think its a promo, like I did at first. In the spectrogram, there are clearly images of women being mutilated and tortured.
It sounds like a PR nightmare. Threatening to attack the president by listing the gps coordinates, signing the area code for Chicago (312) and RED LIPS LIKE TENTH. (Its not an “f”. Its a “k” which makes it an anagram for “KILLTHEPRESIDENT”.) Plus the image says “we are the antivirus” while the mask hints at a biological crisis or attack. At best its some weird hacker shit or a terrible decision by some PR company. At worst, its a terrorist threat or the work of some killer.

They've also found that at least one of the gore pics embeded in the sound spectrogram is from a German movie called "Slasher".

IIRC there was a letter last year 'leaked' by the NSA that put people on a path to be recruited as cryptographers.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that is exactly what's going on here.

I once considered myself intelligent, a delusion supported by my academic record and a number of formalized tests designed to quantify intelligence.

Crypto math and puzzles like this make me feel fortunate to be able to spell my own name correctly in 3 attempts or less.

Been following this on other sites for the past week or so and there's definitely a lot of creepy and hidden messages in it. I thought it was some sort of viral advertising, but the blog that broke the story is obscure and some of the messages hidden within seem far too complex for an ad. It's been out for weeks and nobody still has a clue what the point is.

There are a couple of things I picked out. One is the Masonic "All Seeing Eye"  with the 'G' in the middle.

312 is the year that Constantine say the Cross in the sky, and made banners for his troops with 'In Hoc Signo Vinces',
which also is the motto used by the Knight's Templar (which many speculate are the origins of Freemasons when King
Philip and Pope Clement drove the order underground)

Those were just some quick observations.......I am going to look into the pigpen cipher @ 1:28 to see if I find any other
masonic symbolism.


That's aside from all the unicode & sound spectrum stuff

I'm fascinated with this kinda stuff...

I admit I'm completely ignorant on these issues, but how do you put images into sound waves?

I understand how you read them once they are imbedded but how do you imbed them?

Are there just programs for doing it?

It's been pointed out that they are screen grabs from a German slasher film made in 2007... not real.

If it's a pr campaign then it's failing.
Murder scenes from a 2007 movie, not worth the trouble to promote an old movie, copyright issues.

Nobody has figured out the product being pushed, in fact the codebreaking appears to be stalled.
It was sent to 1 tech blog, and 2 found on park benches. Might come out better sending it to tv stations and not require code breaking geeks, Mr and Ms public are too busy to bother with the code breaking skills
