the background picture on halo/4.html (004.gif) contains a binary code. It looks all black but if you adjust the levels in Photoshop you can see this: www.stum.net/nin004.gif

The binary message decoded is:

"mesage start: i am on the other side. i dont now how to get bck. can you see this? can you help me? i am afraid. mssage end."

there's 2 colors in the picture.; rgb 0,0,0 and rgb 1,1,1.

in photoshop just drag the grey (the middle) slider to the left and the message appears. look at this screenshot: www.stum.net/screenshot.gif

Holy shit! it's true, I am not saying it's a code, but I took a screen shot of page 4 at nin.com and messed with the levels in photoshop, the 1's and 0's are there.

How do you know how to crack that code?

I converted the binaries to ASCII. there's plenty of decoders but I used this one: http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php

teknolust & x102: don't save the image, create a screenshot. by saving it you'll only get one black pixel.

I just tried it with GIMP, works fine and I'm really excited about all this Smile

uh nice one. I thought about opening the image up into phostoshop as well bu I think I wouldn't have been able to reach any solid conclusion.

thanks. I was just fooling around with the pictures when I noticed a new one called 004.gif. it must have been uploaded today because it wasnt there yesterday. I opened it in photoshop and fooled around with the levels just as I did with the other pictures to see if there was a hidden message and there it was...

So, this basically means Trent isn't dead but he's on the 'other' side and afraid. dammit, we'll never get the new album at this rate.

Maybe he's really trying to tell us to organize a rescue squad to break into the studios and steal the masters... Wink Razz
