I did have something better to do just now! I want to sleep, about to turn off the PC and just want to take a lot at AZ if something new been posted... the rest is history.
If it's real, this message is clearly addressed to AiR. We all know what does "do it right" means, we all remember kitchen drama beetween AiR and peace-out. And we are seeing this cringe after: "Suddenly proper vmprotected keygen appeared on the sister site with some another cringe message." Summer cringefest.
I remember reading how NI invested 1 or 2 millions in protection and after several days it was cracked... Still, I think this was actually for their good in a way - Steinberg went from N1 DAW company to a marginal player, because of how many people transition to legit software over time at some point.
An alien intelligence is going to be more advanced. That means efficiency functioning on multiple levels and in multiple dimensions.
found it, this was somewhere in 2005. it was rumored back then that after they showed that the syncrosoft protection steinberg claimed was uncrackable steinberg hired H2O to help with writing new protections and if i remember correctly they did keep their word and this was one of last ones they did. not long after this AiR was founded and rumors started that H2O was AiR which AiR made clear in their release of ARKAOS VJ, if you used the text generator the text would change to AiR is not H2O after 10-15 mins orso
Images have no EXIF, or extra data.. zero Most Steganographic detectors/tests say there's nothing, however McAfee's detectors shows this for the first two jpg images: RESULTS Suspicious: Yes - Image might be concealing data using steganography Confidence Level: Low Score: Unavailable Scan Time: 269 ms Errors: false It could be a False positive, yet who knows right.. there's probably better/more advanced tools than the ones I quickly found on the net. In any case, if there's no hidden message, I'd say the "enigma" is a little lame.. like kindergarden level to ease the new generations? Wouldn't real R2R do better? Coming from geniuses like them, I'd expect something at least at the level of Notpron or someting..
Personally, I really like the style, it's a very elegant way to salute an old and venerable "crack it right" group, even if the group in question have not always been very tender with them at their true beginnings, but hey, everyone can perfectly understand this exigence of quality... ...And sometimes, a critic can be very motivating! The fact is, as we all perfectly realized, that R2R have gone very, very far, far beyond the limits, exactly where no one expected them, to become one of the most amazing cracking group the world have never known! Thank you R2R, I wish you the best #10.000 release birthday ever! ...Champagne!!!
Been about this scene for a long time, but trying to think of any other team has been quite so prolific?? Obviously H2O and AiR released a LOT, and a lot of other teams have had long runs of releasing before disappearing, but I can’t think of any other team that has had so many, certainly in just one area of software (the likes of X-Force covered a lot of ground in the CG / CAD world, Lavteam with engineering software, that that I would say has more breadth than audio alone).
so which team and when is fire and/or earth? or could this mean that H2O was either buried or cremated?
yeah i can confirm no exif... the file sizes are propotional to their dimensions(pixels) from what i can see in the hexeditor nothing special.... so i guess no hidden message...or R2R is taking cicada 3301 to a whole new level
I remember when AiR disappeared and there was always the speculation they would return with a new team named after fire or earth. Got to love a good theory
