Hidden info in music file?

[ketchumj]

In media monkey the comments section comes out as:

© O'Donnell/Salvatori Music, 2007

But when right clicked in explorer you get the:
00000C25 00000309 0000B0C4 000030B7 00018DE0 00018DE0 00008A2A 00008508 00018CC0 00018EB8

Maybe a different kind of id tag?

Well I was thinking, and I'm probably over anaylazing here...but what if Bungie hid messages in either the picture (starmap or society of ancients or moon pics) or!! in the WAVE 719hz file...I did some research and its quite possible and easy to both...i just have yet to find a good extractor...here are some links on what i found:

An excellent thought. I downloaded a trial version of Steganography, and got nuthin' out of any of the JPG's so far.

You might have better luck with a different program.

i did get one hit on the video from server 2, it said hiderman program dectected, i used stegspy...i dont know how to isolate the message though, only that its there

Theres more hex code in the Podcast..

About to go to work, but someone might try subtracting the values from each other, then converting to ascii. If there's nothing there, try adding.

[Agent ME]

If it was supposed to be ASCII - what's with all the blank spaces (zeroes)?

And this ARG was completely written before it started - these audio files just came out. I'm betting its either a glitch with their sound encoding software, or a glitch with Window's Explorer's ability to read the comments.

Try converting hex to binary and binary to words.

OK, I'm gonna do this in 2 posts. This is a little complicated, and not the answer, but I think I may be close.

This is how you can bypass a firewall, which is a similar process (next post will be this applied to the hex):

For demonstration purposes, I'll use the IP 12.193.205.75, which is bungie.org's IP.

Step 1: Convert Each Number to Binary:

12 = 1100
193 = 11000001
205 = 11001101
75 = 1001011

Step 2: Now, we need to pad each one of these numbers to 8 Values(add zeros to the front)

12 = 00001100
193 = 11000001
205 = 11001101
75 = 01001011

Step 3: We put these numbers together:

00001100110000011100110101001011

Step 4: Convert Back to Binary

214027595

Now, if you enter this into a browser, it'll send you to HBO's server(although they have a wierd welcome page when you go to there IP)

Next post: applied to the hex

[MaxJG]

Step 1: Because we're dealing with hex instead of decimals, I'm going to convert them to binary instead.

00000C25 00000309 0000B0C4 000030B7 00018DE0 00018DE0 00008A2A 00008508 00018CC0 00018EB8

110000100101
1100001001
1011000011000100
11000010110111
11000110111100000
11000110111100000
1000101000101010
1000010100001000
11000110011000000
11000111010111000

Step 2 + 3: Pad and add

00000110000100101000000011000010010101100001100010000011000010110111110001101111000001100011011110000001000101000101010010000101000010001100011001100000011000111010111000

Step 4: back to decimal

I do realize that I'm doing something wrong, but I think that this may be the way to go. Any ideas?
