Bulldogs 10 Posted May 6, 2011 The Army group boundaries on the map leave out Russia. There's a strong belief that the map relates to WW3 (possible Arma 3 setting) with an invasion by Russia and it's allies (continuing on from the ArmA 2 story line) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghostnineone 10 Posted May 6, 2011 the only thing i can figure out from the misspelled words is "presense" we either have "sense" or "pre-sense" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not an actual hack. BIS designed it as a code game for use to figure out what they're going to announce. They got the community sites to help them leak the code. From what we can figure, you have to figure out what the code is then input it somewhere to get the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skooma 10 Posted May 6, 2011 The "news" site Armaholic linked to in their first post about was AAN. That's not a real news site. One of the languages it has is Chernarussian... yeah. AAN is also the news organization they use in their cutscenes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghostnineone 10 Posted May 6, 2011 i thought it was weird AAN had articles on obama though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freeborne 10 Posted May 6, 2011 I think you guys are going off the track too far with the YouTube references, and minutes/seconds into specific clips. I think all that's relevant in the last hack is the image, not the content of the post, especially when the content is different on other sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skooma 10 Posted May 6, 2011 i thought it was weird AAN had articles on obama though... They just linked feeds from real news sites. Not hard to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig_VG 20 Posted May 6, 2011 Wasn't there a quiz a while ago with misspelled words? Was it with the ion-Inc website? Maybe it's just really late and I'm not thinking straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trenchfeet 0 Posted May 6, 2011 I think the key is as someone said earlier http://www.arma2.com/bin/null/thecode/ Yes, we did it.You can too. Just input the code. p3R51An 8lacK Hat5 8oy5 Maybe we should think where the code should be entered? AAN Online ? - its a news site- but i dont think so ION ? - maybe, it has a client area- but i dont think so I think it might be more of a link to a new site "dlc" or something like that. This is what BIS did in the past. I agree with ghostnineone & Freeborne i think youtube is a miss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted May 6, 2011 A lot of people think the code is a cypher and not related to youtube. Try going to youtube and entering a random 11 digit code. Try changing the numbers or letters in one of those codes. Each time you'll get no results. Basically guessing a correct youtube code is 1 in a million, so the fact that all 3 codes happen to exactly corrispond with 3 youtube music clips can't possibly be a coincidence.

WackyIraqi 2 Posted May 6, 2011 Bulldog is right. Believing that it is a pure coincidence that all three are youtube video codes is just ignorance. As trenchfeet said, we need to find out A) Where to enter this code. 2) What the code is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMorgan 11 Posted May 6, 2011 Basically guessing a correct youtube code is 1 in a million, so the fact that all 3 codes happen to exactly corrispond with 3 youtube music clips can't possibly be a coincidence.

juliobds 10 Posted May 6, 2011 Hey Guys, I've been following this thread since page +/- 45 but I don't come here since that map was found(about that I had to buy a new keyboard because my F5 key was KIA :( ). Well, there is something that is bugging me, and because of that I registered just to say this. xD so: in that image with the white background and when the site was first hacked it's signed: (link) p3R51An 8lacK Hat5 8oy5 What I don't understand is why the A in persian is uppercase but the second a in hats isn't. So if we take only the leet and uppercase letters we get: ERSIA BK HS BS This doesn't seem's like nothing but it could be an anagram(swaped letters) of a sentence. IDK... So after thinking a bit I thought it could be something like: E(read: he), R(u)SIA BK(read: BacK or Because) H(a or i or e) BS(read: Bullshit, BackSite???) I don't know, maybe you guys know more military vocabulary and can find something useful to us... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted May 6, 2011 Good point.At least they didn't Rick Roll us. That'd be fantastic... haha But instead of looking at Rick Astley trying to figure out what he's talking about, instead I'm watching Rhianna... much better. If you take the first word spoken at each time code it basically comes out as : Stone man weed. or Stone Man Have (not sure if weed fit in as he kind of says it when it's clicking over to the second) Maybe there's a Stoneman somewhere that has the code.... or maybe that is the code.. no idea where to enter it though.

Bulldogs 10 Posted May 6, 2011 so: in that image with the white background and when the site was first hacked it's signed: (link) p3R51An 8lacK Hat5 8oy5 What I don't understand is why the A in persian is uppercase but the second a in hats isn't. It may just be to look different... as original l33t speak did, but it may be something. Not sure. I believe they took the name from the hacker group known as "The Iranian Boys Black Hat" Also not sure why they're the Black Hats Boys, instead of Black Hat Boys (in the hacking community you have Black hat and white hat. Black being hacking and White being defence against hacking, but I've never seen it written as hats - plural) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
