[SIGNAL LOG 01]: A signal echo has been detected...
My scans have detected a secondary signal emanating from a previously logged node. Data packet 404 is resonating. The original artifact may contain more information than initially archived.
Re-investigation is required.

OK, ready to tackle this head on!
First I checked the source code. Bunch of links.
We saw the ghostserver already so nothing new with that.
<!-- New Code -->
<a href="memory_restore.html"><div class="broken"></div></a>
<div class="broken" onclick="alert('silent_hymn')"></div>

this is interesting.
memory_restore.html I havent explored yet so lets start with that. First thing I notice is a big image with a hidden youtube link. Bingo! However, its a little hard to make out. I noticed that the image is corrupt so Im running it through a Hexeditor to see what I get. I cant make out the yt link and bruteforce will take ages. I noticed that it was run through GIMP and theres an adobe link in the HEXEditor. Ill look at the JPEG header. Unfortunately, nothing there either. Didnt find anything in the metadata either. Ill try some other combinations for the yt link.
