## Details

The third video in this part of the *Nitegrow* series is the forest. This is the video being referenced in *Nitegrow* and *Subliminal Perception*. At the bottom of the *Seedlings* description was a PGP message detailing the locations of the seed drops. This information was to be kept secret as these were real-world locations where the KGB sent couriers to drop off what appeared to be SD cards. The contents of the SD cards are unknown.

## Theories

Proxies into the Tor network allow access to onion services from non-Tor browsers and can be used for for search engines are not Tor-aware. This process utilizes gateways, which is an internet protocol term meaning the information is carried between other areas. By using gateways, users send their data to the gateway which then distributes it and is responsible for delivering the correct content both ways. Doing this gives up the user’s anonymity thus both the gateway and the onion service receiving the information from the gateway can fingerprint the browser accessing the gateway along with the user’s IP address data.

A close-up of one of the SD drops.A picture of a drop. The drops were taped to the walls along the side of the building, not the front door. The QR codes needed to be verified by phone. Inside the package was an SD card that, allegedly, booted up to a KGB operating system full of files and documents. This has yet to be verified, although unlikely as - seen later - the contents of the GIFTs were classified.Another seed.A picture of one of the KGB’s couriers. The couriers were allegedly dressed in black with hoods. Some solvers who were present in the tavern at the time of the event also stated the droppers drove up to the location in vans.Another courier.A close up of a GIFT and its contents. Pictures of the event were posted to r/ARG, r/ KomplotGroupBand, and passed around on Discord.Another GIFT.Another close-up.Seedlings location map.
