We have no access to the Log's metadata (computer terms metadata). So there's no way to know when they create the chatlogs... My guess is that they enable the archives right before allowing us to reach it... So, there was no westwitch when I tried earlier, but now that Holmes found that letter, there could be a westwitch log (didn't retest it yet - no change, westwitch invalid). If so, trying to bruteforce a archive password won't work at all.

Also, the passwords are case-sensitive. Although so far they've only been lowercase; they may continue that pattern.

I've tried a few hundred combinations now, and I would say you are right about them activating things at the last second. That's how they did it with the first logs. A bit of information that may prove helpful later: They do not usually use spaces, and the log IDs are case sensitive.

Didn't try that... Because trying capitalizations is a pain.

Someone here has an injector and know how to use it?

<div id="chatContainer">
<div id="chatTopBar" class="rounded">session: mindsandmatters</div>
<div id="chatLineHolder" ></div>
<!-- <div id="chatUsers" class="rounded"></div> -->
<div id="chatBottomBar" class="rounded">
<div class="tip"></div>
</div>
</div>


See that code (from the mindsandmatters archive source code)? This line:
<!-- <div id="chatUsers" class="rounded"></div> -->
Is an invisible panel. What in blazes is in this pannel, I can't know. But if someoe knows how to GreaseMonkey or something their way into removing the <!-- --> comment tags to force the pannel to be visible, it could reveal something.
It's been ages since I toyed with that stuff, I don't have the tools to do it now, and I'm not ever sure if I can do it without some serious time studying the newer tools...

If they did do a live chat thing, we'd probably have to pick only a hand full of us to crash it if we were to actually enter in and converse with them. If too many of us went in it would be utter chaos (which is why I don't think they'll be doing that)

I know the feeling. And I work with the stuff.
But it's midnight now, I'll have to scout a possible college transfer tomorrow and I don't have anything I can use to crack that on my laptop... :cry:

These chats seem to happen over a period of time. In this one, they went from discussing the notebook to going to get the notebook to after they'd left the messages. They also seem to be a while behind events.

That's depressing.

An idea, pheeble is not their hangout. They set the site up to use as a showcase for whatever they wanted us to know. The place they actually talk in is another site altogether. Too much work, very unrealistic, but would explain why we can't get a single lead out of the supposed chatroom.

Oh well... To be honest I was hoping it would be a control panel of some sort...
Awesome work anyway, Never! On a positive note, it's one false lead out of the way.

I think there could be more to the site. The source code says there is a logout button for chat user a.

Now that's interesting... There any other log out options? Probably not, since this seems to be archived and run by Angelus, meaning only he would have the log button on that page...

No. There is a mention of user p, but all it says is he hasn't uploaded any chat archives.

Angelus and Pyramus seem to trust each other to the extent that they agree on most things. They were also the first two in the chat. It makes sense that Angelus allowed Pyramus to hold an account on the archive site as well...

I figured you saw something special there, now that you are talking about usernames and uploads?

I can almost physically feel my Meta Badass Decay. :(

That black box is hidden in the normal chat archive. If you edit the source code, you can see it, but it's just where usernames would be.

Is it just me, or is Angelus extremely distracted in pretty much all of his conversations? The new meetplan one has him delaying replying to the other members of the Cabal because he was doing something elsewhere, and before that he kept commenting in the wrong thread, suggesting he was having more than one convo at once... clumsy, I thought.

It's rainy in San Fransisco right now apparantly... funny I never associated it with cold, I figured it was usually very warm.

Not horribly. Mid 50's to low 60's over the week. (Degrees in Fahrenheit)
