August 2018

**August 3rd** Sev Philippou made a video about a stalker outside her house late at night.

**August 4th** A Discord member was sent an email from the we.are.ashleigh  Gmail account with a hint to use the Steghide program on a clue that was evading the Discord.

**August 5th** Danny and his friend JGasm were removed from the Discord after a few issues with other members until IKWSI decided he needed to have Danny back in the server. Danny claimed his neighbours children were beginning to receive harassing phone calls from blocked numbers after sending videos to the Ash Vlogs Instagram account. The Ash Vlogs account runner was tracked down on Skype and when calling an old man answered and showed the children's phone numbers on screen. Footage of this was seen in a later Racka Racka video.

**August 9th** IKWSI sent emails to Discord members  asking them to draw the IKWSI symbol on their arm and send a reply back with a photo of their arm as proof. Letters were intentionally bolded in the emails: **w, e/5, y.**

**August 10th** IKWSI replied to the Discord members that tagged their arm with this email.

The partial URL in the email led to a soundcloud page with the title bad boy. The artwork shown of a computer screen when cleaned up says '**would you like to watch'** '**ready to stream'** The audio is Ash with Alice, who has brought around an old high school computer. She says that they aren't going to hurt it with bad boy. She says she isn't sure if you can see but it is called c2f.exe with the little strange dude symbol. They are going to open it and see what the deal is with bad boy. A loud high pitched noise can be heard once they open it.

Ash Vlogs commented on Racka Racka's video 'I spoke to a real life killer**'** taking credit for kicking Danny from the Discord.

This was intended to cause drama and infighting in the Discord, and Danny took the bait and responded claiming he always knew the Discord was dodgy. Danny made a post on Instagram stating the Discord was 'in on it' with Ash Vlogs, which is obviously untrue.

**August 16th**  A Discord member was able to use the bolded letters from the emails from IKWSI and brute force the missing letters to create a link https://streamable.com/b5wcy Glitched audio and video showing an image of an abandoned house with the IKWSI symbol painted on the wall. Screaming can be heard in this Streamable.

The now infamous C2F.exe video was uploaded by Ash Vlogs. We see Ash and Alice accessing the hard drive sent in the mail and all sorts of crazy pop ups start showing on the computer screen. Not long after that, the music kicks in and we can see men in balaclavas come to the front door. Ash and Alice begin to panic and frantically start calling the police. Make sure to have captions turned on for this video to reveal some hidden information. The hidden tags for this video are "3 12 15 19 5 4 0 3 1 16 20 9 15 14 19, c2f.exe,ash vlogs, check the others ,bad boi, imgur com/a/jjhlyNk, https://streamable.com/gne73, i know where she is" The streamable linked in the tags goes to a black and white video of a girl skipping. The imgur link takes you to ???❄✋❄☹☜?? An image with a google drive link and the words "thank you for the strike youtube. it makes no difference." There is a video linked in the description that takes you to this video with a scissors emoji for a title. It appears to be very sped up footage of someone walking down a dark hallway and heading outside. Audio over the footage says phrases such as "i am the tagger" It looks like whoever is filming the video is chasing a girl wearing only underwear, every so often a frame will show in the video of skin that has been cut up and bloody. We then see a dark shed with IKWSI symbols on the wall, a computer monitor is turned on in the corner and on the floor on a blue tarp is a girl laying down. This is Olly. Her arms are tied behind her back. She begins to struggle and the door to the shed opens. The screen goes black but not before it flashes up a glitchy image. It's hard to make this out but possibly it's a person with a sack over their head. The description of this video is mih/ntyyt6upursjl:q./5c/cot9.

Ash Vlogs uploaded a new image on Instagram with the description "always nice having visitors 🤺🤺🤺" In the image you can see scrambled text has been added. mih/ntyyt6upursjl:q./5c/cot9 Using a rail fence cipher or by skipping 2, it decodes to tiny url/ 76ujq5c9. This led to an image on googledrive called boxes.png Editing this image revealed a hidden code a1a2a3 = i--he-----m---o----al-s. Using previous clues  nwheashomr, hlrugaltch and taei with i---he-----m---o----al-s and the tags of the hidden videos "ghwa" "hemt" "hro" "lls" "anhe" "ic" "art" "a3" "i am the tagger", "bit ly 2w8r3zd fast\_forward:" decodes to "**i can hear them through walls**"

Using this phrase as the Steghide password on the 'heightenedsense.jpg' led to a new Ash Vlogs video maybe i'm paranoid This video shows someone driving a car around suburban streets in Adelaide. They are listening in to a phone conversation between two women. One is telling the other that she might have a following now. She says she is recognising familiar faces at her photo shoots, but thinks maybe she is being paranoid. She asks the woman if she can help her decide which are the best shots and have a girls night. The video ends with the car pulling over and someone getting out of the car.

A new album was uploaded on Stingray Bandcamp  called "Sup Jordz." There are nine tracks on this album. They are phone recordings of Jordan answering the phone but no body is responding to him. More Ghost calls. The descriptions for tracks 3, 5, and 9 are "i", "b", "b" The spectrograms of each audio reveals a character and a phrase:

Track 1: **f**, Track 2: **m**, Track 3: **s**, Track 4: **e**, Track 5: **HE IS WAITING**, Track 6: **Q**, Track 7: **p**, Track 8: **68**, Track 9: **e**.

Using the letters from the spectrograms, in the order of the first column of the album cover leads to: https://ibb.co/emesfpa which reveals a partial snapchat code.

**August 25th** IKWSI led Discord members out in the real world hunting for clues - A Day Out

By manipulating the boxes.png image and looking at the IHDR data a Youtube video was discovered  'let me be your teddybear' showing a white car driving down Whicker Road, Gillman SA. A chilling video with what appears to be screaming in the background. This location was later used to hide real life clues - finding c2f.exe Interesting edits were found on the signposts in this video. It appears they had been manipulated. The first being a reference back to rsu2o.

Another contained the A1Z26 Cipher numbers for '**shes a dead girl**'

A third sign made reference to Stingray.bandcamp.com ( a stingray emoji followed by BC C)

A fourth sign in the video had a Spotify logo.

This clue was a challenge because it was blurry however A playlist was able to be found As you can see it was very blurry but not unmanageable. The playlist is called 'for the long drive back' The cover art was quite interesting showing a red square, wing dings and the IKWSI symbol.

The QR code leads to https://www.protectedtext.com/breathing\_in\_your\_ with the password **dust** (from the song heard playing in the background of the c2f.exe Youtube video) The wing dings in the image translate to "**Clean your basement**", a popular phrase said by Discord members when discussing the state of IKWSI's dirty basement.

This protected text contained an array of tabs. Tab one led to https://ibb.co/ePxGt9 19 other tabs all led to https://ibb.co/e2ALmU . A white image with a bunch of X's. Tab 21 contains the text "Empty Tab." Tab 22 contains the text "Cleaned it up for you." Tab 23 contains the text: "Empty Tab tricked you." Tab 24 contains the text "Empty Tab the real discord says hello" and the link: https://ibb.co/bwkeOK which indicates that another Discord server solved this clue on August 18th. The title of the image is "Hi from the true discord" and the description reads: "we bet it will be a week before you even see this." The image file name is: hello\_0\_00\_00\_00

It was found that by combining the X's from the IBB link above against the Spotify playlist and the track times for these songs 18th track: Real Death,29th track: Aphex Twin, 11th track: The Drones, 6th track: 3:46, 5th track: Mount Eerie, 19th track: 9:39 32nd track: 3:31 , a URL could be made https://imgur.com/a/RiT6E93 This heralded the completion of the Snapcode and people were finally able to find and add Happy Drip

**August 27th** Happy Drip began adding Discord users on Snapchat and the Snapchat Task Game began.
