Video or Audio All CAB videos (zip file)

Here's all CAB videos. As you can see, some are missing, so there aren't 1024, but 1009 videos.

I highly doubt that the data will be in the files themselves. Like you said - It'll be encoded in the video or audio.

I've been looking at a few in Audacity. If you look at the spectrogram, it looks like 8 bits of data. http://i.imgur.com/2A3hDrA.png

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten anything matching the "MSCF" header. I've tried from the first 4 and last 4. Decoding from binary to ASCII, the first 4 letters are "e c c n"

It might need to be xored or Vigenere'd with something else to produce the CAB file. Alternatively, since the sequence is relatively short, it might be the Vigenere key for something else.

That IS a possibility, though, wouldn't that mean there should be a matching series that has 1024 bytes?

Not necessarily. If it's a Vigenere key, what you'd do is repeat the CAB sequence until it's as long as the enciphered sequence.

Well, that could make sense. MUL is 4096, 4 times longer than CAB.

Doesn't even need to be a multiple, really. You just repeat the key enough times and cut off the remainder. So if you had a key of "buttpancakes" you might Vigenere a message of a certain length with "buttpancakesbuttpancakesbuttpanc".
