    This really is interesting, because all the images of the puzzle are encoded the same way like on that challenge..
    if you look at the link he posted there is an example of an image encoded with base64..

    Now if you look at the source code of the burnitdown page, you'll also see that the puzzle images are encoded with base64, because they start with:

    That might be just a coincidence because that doesn't lead to anything, but I thought I'll let you know..

    I think this puzzle has something to do with this.
    And like someone already posted with these comments in the code
    View attachment 4041
    There are 5 and 4 numbers and I have no idea what they mean. Maybe they are somehow connected to already unlocked pictures which are encoded in base64, and if we find out how, then we will be able to unlock other pieces?

    Okay, someone who knows about coding should really take a look into this using Mark Gianino's article as a template. I think this is where we'll find the answer. Simply looking at the pictures isn't coming up with anything.

    I don't think it has anything to do with the images visually, it has something to do with the code. Mike retweeted us when we mentioned the code on Twitter. He retweeted us again when we mentioned about the next puzzle times being listed in the code. he was basically congratulating us for figuring these things out. There's obviously something a little more complicated to do with the code, especially those huge ass image URL's that we haven't found yet. This http://www.jibble.org/cyber-security-challenge-uk-winner/ has a lot of similarities to what we're seeing here, there must be something we need to take from to make a url or something. I don't know but that's our best guess IMO.

    Maybe the rickroll was simply a funny way of demonstrating what can be done if we find the right code to put in the terminal.

    The base64 images aren't URL's, it is just the raw data of the image itself, which can be rendered into an image from the browser (even if you aren't online).

    GoldFire have you taken a look at the code if there's any changes or if there's something we have been missing? (Well I haven taken much of a look there, I get lost and I don't know what is useful and what is not)

    Chester Bennington is 5'10".
    5'4" would be just below his nose.

    There are words there. In the flames.

    I was able to get jpg files from those image codes for the 4 and 5 puzzles, and didn't come up with anything. I checked the EXIF info hoping something would be there, but the only thing I found in there were that the images were made in Photoshop CS5 on a Mac. Nothing useful there.

    You know you're desperate for new music when you're searching everything you can find on Google. Such as, Chapter 5. Cypher Cookbook - 5.4. 5.4. Find people based on similar favorites.

    Nah, nothing there that I can break down. Ugh

    Just to make sure, are you guys looking at the 4th and 5th blocks or the 4th and 5th puzzles to be released?
