Back on topic peeps. Anyone else who makes an offtopic post will earn themselves a warn or possibly a ban.

No more trolling. Aye?

Wasn't all the dolst controversy stuff in 2009, though? I don't get.

E1: So it looks like dolst is updating his deviantart again? I'm not sure about that, and I still doubt there's anything ingame there, but it's worth a mention.

E2: OK, something is happening now. 15 hours ago, the seekers tweeted:

Our path intersects your plane once again. Prepare for a swift end to all of this. The Gangadiddle's energy is like a beacon to us.

Separately, dolst has been tweeting a lot about the recent Arizona shooting and other stuff. All the tweets look OOG except this one from eight hours ago:

,rvjsnopxpof/vp,Sf,om

I have no idea what this means, but surely it must be some code.

code: looks like a url, probably coded or cyphered, that thing (xenomorph mixed with terminator?) likes it's codes

its been solved already
mechabiozoid.com/admin is the solution
to the code

E1 199 Mancha Ave
Claremont, VA 23899, USA was found
is this his real address, or the location of the next clue? anyone live in claremont?

E2 if there is nothing, knock on his door to see if its really dolst

i think this is important enough to delete the post and repost, dolst's real name is Rob Dolst and his email is dolst@lycos.com. he also hosts using godaddy.
i ran a whois on mechabiozoid through 3 different sites and i got my findings below

Okay, I think it's fair to say that the previous post and what follows is all OOG ("Out Of Game", as in "not part of the Hunt", as in REAL LIFE):

I had the following section spoiler'd, but I still think it's important in response to Spearman's post.
Again, I just want to say, Spearman, I'm not coming out against you or anything, but I still think people should consider this before persuing dolst's dox.

If it's tl;dr, just skip down to where I posted MAJOR EDIT.

I whois'd dolst.com early on:

Domain Name: DOLST.COM
Created on: 08-Nov-03
Expires on: 08-Nov-12
Last Updated on: 25-Dec-10

It has his address as:

PO Box 552
Claremont, Virginia 23899

However, you will notice that registration was from 2003. I'm pretty sure this guy didn't have everything planned *that* far back! LOL
Sure, the mechabiozoid.com whois shows it being registered much more recently, but the ZIP is the same, and I'm thinking it's probably where he really lives, rather than part of the Hunt.

Sure, we could possibly send him a postcard or drop by and visit him, but remember the rules of the Hunt:

Paraphrased from memory: You won't have to contact any person.

I could probably find commencement.pdf again, but I can't be bothered right now. :-P

Some more suggestions against Claremont being the next clue:

First off, Claremont was clue number 5 (or 4, or 6, or whatever it counts as).
Second, we already know Buckrow Beach is the next location.

So, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't even going to mention whois'ing domains because, to be perfectly honest, it actually kind of feels kind of invasive finding that kind of information and posting it.
It has never come up here as it hasn't beeen relavant, but I had a dear friend of mine who was the target of a hate crime. He's okay, and it was years ago, but ppl found out about where he lived because of whois information.
I know nobody here would dream of harassing the guy who is making this awesome little game for us, but I don't think we should pursue that line.
I am NOT, by any means suggesting you change or delete your post, or that any mods do such a thing either (I'm big on free speech, especially when it's a matter of public record), but I just don't think we should dwell on that aspect much more.

Okay, now that my little rambling rant is out of the way, I will jump back in-game (what game? This is real! LOL) and share dolst's last two tweets:

# Pretty sure I can fix the issue, but w/o the ftp connection, I'm stuck wringing my hands. Surf Wisely. about 24 hours ago via web

Buffer overflows suck! I wish I had more time to code... Plus, MBZ ftp connection not working, so I'm stuck until I can reconnect. Grrrrrrr! about 24 hours ago via web

Also, he has a tumblr page now. And guess what he posted there:

Buffer Overflows

Ugh…. I have the code all written, but until I can FTP it up, I can’t fix the problem!!! Guh!!! Blarg!!! Surf Wisely.

And then, if that isn't clear enough, he favorited two videos on YouTube:

In addition, the tutorial explains how an attacker exploits applications software programs to perform malicious activity.

Segment from Hak5 1x04 - Buffer overflow attacks explained with beer! Enjoy!

So...... dolst is really hung up on buffer overflows right now...... I wonder if he's trying to tell us something. I think it's got to be in reference to the mechaboizoid admin page, but I'm not sure how to use this info. Will get back to the keyboard later tonight if I can and start trying to overflow his buffer. I'm thinking really long password maybe. But we'll see.

MAJOR EDIT:

HELLO! Get it while it's hot!!

{Link removed, as it's a dead /x/ thread.}

I feel like a tool for not figuring this out sooner!

Oh look at that.
Username: admin
Password: any very long amount of gibberish
http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/admin.php

Bytecode is the intermediate format used by Java. Might be embedded in the image.

Downloading now. Will upload somewhere soon.

E2: Implication that the Gangadiddle is, in fact, something called a Mechaiozoid.
Really?
:-|

E3: May not need to post images elsewhere. Just opened in another browser without logging in.
There's not much to the "admin" page:

Resources to be deployed:

Here are the images. Moar bytecodes! Woohoo!

E4: Below are the images and the numbers (and letters) I see in them

http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/bytecode1.png

81452, maybe 8145A2E?


http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/bytecode2.png

4190? I think I see numbers but it's jumbled.


http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/bytecode3.png

What are U looking 4?
Um, 4?
Maybe U4?


http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/bytecode4.png

Way too many numbers to type right now. Maybe a 2 in the background?


http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/bytecode5.png

If you look at the white space, it looks like 259?
But maybe the shapes mean something else.


http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/bytecode6.png

V XIII IX
5 13 9


http://mechabiozoid.com/admin/bytecode7.png

Two bold dots in all the lines and dots. Unless it's a maze as the anon in the thread suggested, but there's alot of deadends and empty spaces. Probably a number hidden in there somewhere.

Looking for numbers now.

Edit 6: So you should copy the links and paste them in your URL window or you get a "403 Forbidden" message. It doesn't seem like you have to log in, since I haven't today. Haven't had much chance to try to decode the bytecodes yet either.

Is anyone still alive in here?

ye im still alive
will edit if i find anything in these images

E1 i found this, it doesnt seem to be relevant but ill leave it here.
