The last(?) s33k3r's name

[paperwulf]

So the last s33k3r (we think) has possessed dolst. This would be dolst's second possession (that we know of).
dolst's last defiant message to us told us that the next message would come from Nathan.

What is the Gangadiddle? acquire.php

Earlier, we had been told the Gangadiddle was a "mechabiozoid", so it was quickly determined that the URL was mechabiozoid.com/acquire.php

When first encountered, that page contained nothing but a javascript counter, counting down from about 49 hours.
On March 2nd, the counter hit 00:00:00 and revealed a page with text fields to enter individual characters in.

Nathan also told us that the "pups" had the keys. Chaosky quickly found new tags on each of the Poochee and Pansy episodes that spelled out numbers. We figured out that the numbers corresponded to the letters that spelled out "filter".
Once that was determined, we began entering the letters to spell out the password over the next day.
Each entry would reset the page for 24 hours for the person who posted it, and 2 hours for everyone else.
Several IP addresses and 7 proxies later, we had it open. ;-)
Now the page has a link to mechabiozoid.com/thes33k3rmind.rar
(You may need to download it from acquire.php if trying to download it from here gives you an error.)
This was the first part of this puzzle. My next post will cover our current situation with the rar file.

After downloading mechabiozoid.com/thes33k3rmind.rar from mechabiozoid.com/acquire.php, it is pretty obvious that the password is filter.
After un-rar-ing the file, you have 3 pictures: instructions.png, string1.png, and string2.png

instructions.png is tiny, but appears to say "STRING1+STRING2".



string1.png and string2.png contain numbers and shapes. Here are the images:





The following are tomatogoatee's observations about the files from Robloxhq:

601 (prime) x 425 (sum of thee consecutive primes; 137, 139, 149) pixels. 255425 pixels total. (The dimensions look like they may be arbitrary, but the 601 caught my attention for some reason.) 14623 bytes. Contains 40 characters, all letters, in five rows and eight columns. The letters, for easy copy-paste ability, are:

NXBKLCOP
SQFGAKAM
MMNMFXKC
DFPHRKOU
UENFCHJK

The vowel count by row is:
1
2
0
2
2
There are also seven triangles along the margins, three left, four right. Top left is isosceles, hollow, and pointing upward. Center left is possibly isosceles, filled in, and pointing to the lower left (about 8 o'clock). Lower left seems to be a vertical and horizontal mirror of the center one pointing to the upper right (about 2 o'clock) and hollow. Top right is isosceles (possibly right), filled, and pointing upward. Second down on the right is hollow and slightly askew. Third one down is also hollow and slightly askew. Lower right is filled, right isosceles pointing to the lower right (4:30).

404 x 307 (prime) pixels. (Again, appears arbitrary, but the prime number sticks out to me.) 124028 pixels total. 10970 bytes. It contains 80 characters, mixed letters and numbers in seven rows of varying length. The characters are:

EEKCX4CZMTT
YU82C337SKLP
MHGG9KG5BNX
FG49LRCZ1JKL
SSMRTLQDDAS
KO9P03MCH356
BH7JIYPOQRK

The letter/number count by row is:
1: 10 letters, 1 number, 11 total
2: 7 letters, 5 numbers, 12 total
3: 9 letters, 2 numbers, 11 total
4: 9 letters, 3 numbers, 12 total
5: 11 letters, no numbers
6: 6 letters, 6 numbers, 12 total (The second character is the letter O, the fifth character is the number zero.)
7: 10 letters, 1 number, 11 total
The letter/number count:


0=1
1=1
2=1
3=4
4=2
5=5
6=1
7=2
8=1
9=3
a=1
b=2
c=5
d=2
e=2
f=1
g=4
h=3
i=1
j=2
k=6
l=4
m=4
n=1
o=2
p=3
q=2
r=3
s=4
t=3
u=1
x=2
y=2
z=2
v and w are not present.

Vowel count by row:
2
1
0

1
Also of note is the hand-written letters PERFCT in the upper left of the image. (It appears to be the word 'perfect' but missing an E.) There are also four hollow squares around the image. Upper left being the smallest between the first two rows, lower left being the next larger, below the bottom row. Upper left next larger, upper part of the first row. Lower right being the largest, next to bottom row.

Just for completion's sake, I'll give a quick rundown. I'll keep it short, since this part is already finished.

Before we could find the s33k3r's name, he realized the other s33k3rs were still alive and that maybe they were going about things the wrong way. He tried to voluntarily leave dolst's body, but failed.
dolst and the last s33k3r went out to the non-physical realm, and were combined until we finally figured out the last s33k3r's name was Septimus.
Once they were separated, David Yamaguchi and Nathan Israel were all set to use a device call the astral apparatus to bring dolst back.
This part of the puzzle, naming the last s33k3r is now complete, so the subsequent events will be recorded in the "where we are" thread.
