    _____________________________________________

    Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully Investigating a
    Homicide case found some files that don't seem to be
    normal on the suspected psycopath's computer. They
    Suspect that those files could reveal information about
    his next to be victim.

    Their Computer Experts analysed those files and found
    that the bitmap file should have the image of a man.
    Strangely though, they were unable to Identify him from
    the distorted image. All they Could come up with, is..
    • The Image is Not Encrypted
    • No File is hidden within the Image File


    Also the Audio file did not help them either. It seems to
    be an alien voice saying something. They can confirm
    that the file is not encrypted and no file is hidden within
    the audio file.

    Mulder and Scully heard that you are an expert in this
    field and are requesting your help !
    Please help them.

    Hm, yeah.. its not encrypted and its not renamed (header identifies it as BMP)...

    so maybe it just has the wrong size? I have no time to code such a tool now but Id say its something like this..

    I have found the answer.. The picture, is a picture of Mike, it was distorted like that because the camera broke at the exact same second the shutter clicked. The .wav file is a clip of what Mike sounds like when he is drunk...

    It's easy to explain. The file has been altered to set the supposed width to be a larger value than the data exists for. Therefore the lines are all out of alignment, giving that fairly classic pattern. You get it all the time when using RAW files.

    In yer BMP file, swap the values (using a hex editor) at offsets 0x12 and 0x16, this is where the width and height are stored

    For the sound file, load it into sound recorder and speed it up

    Decoding the Sound is the Easiest one..

    use soundrecorder ..and increase it speed exactly by 200%

    If you don't know where sound recorder is..

    put

    sndrec32 in the start menu ->> Run Box. and enter

    Sorry.. I forgot to tell you that !

    Use the Enter key to cycle through

    the Text Mode(The default screen when you open a file)
    the Hex edit Mode (where you do the Hex-editing)
    the Disassembly mode (Yes...you are seeing it right )

    In the Hex Editing mode

    Get to the Required offset using the Mouse or the
    direction keys and Press F3 to start Editing.
    Press F9 once you are Ready to save it..
    F10 to quit.

    Use Tab keys on the Hexediting Screen to Switch from Hex Pane to Ascii pane.

    This is the best Hex editor I ever Found.
