this isn't new, they used stenography to find new leads, but as far as I'm concerned I don't think they had any luck yet. They also found mp3 files from one of the pizza websites and are examining them to see if there's pictures or anything hidden within them.

Í think the mp3s are accessible by simply opening the ppt/pts files in 7zip or WinRar.

by all means, if you can dissect those files and find hidden images, please do it.

I tried and failed. PP tells me the images have been cropped and transforming the presentations into HTML files gives you the uncropped images, but there's nothing there. The image folders cannot be opened directly. I don't know how to proceed.

there was talk in the threads about a specific software they possibly used. It's somewhere in the first 10 threads of the 8chan archive list

Very interesting! Do you have any links where I can read more about these mp3 files? I've been experimenting some myself with steganography decryption so I'd love to give it a try on these files! Thanks for great research mate!

yes, it's in the 8chan archive list. https://archive.is/OLt7u just search for "mp3". Operation Berenstain was shut down

New poster, so not expecting anyone to take me seriously, but hear me out and do a little looking around online. Been lurking for a few days, and spent the last day reading the archive.is link... I'm no guru or anything, but the waveforms and spectrographs that anon posted on that thread look a lot like what you'd get using SSTV (Slow-Scan TeleVision). Basically, it used simple FM radio to transmit video, taking about one second to transmit 10 frames (roughly) in black and white at about a quarter resolution (roughly 128x128px). Think we may need a software engineer to take a look into this if there isn't already a program out there. (Slow-Scan TeleVision)

I suggest you make this into a post, in the hopes we find one

I don't think it'll let me... too new a member (don't see an option to post this as a regular post).

(Edit to add: nevermind... figured it out... just not obviously labelled "Create new post" like I'm used to on other boards)
