Restricting login to Twitter was initially an experiment. Turns out it's also very convenient for people who are on Twitter, as you signup in a single click!
And since this website is far from being important for anyone, I thought it made more sense to lose a few users here and there rather than forcing everyone through the tedious tunnel of picking an email, picking a password, checking your email, etc…
Still I'm really sorry to have lost you. Good job on getting to level 2 though!
Don't get yourself a pink eye tough! Hint: I'd be very surprised if you could see "it" with your naked eyes. You'd better fire up your favorite image editor ;-)
This is actually pretty fun.
Although my first reaction to the "white noise" hint was to pull up matlab and do a 2D-fft, figured it might show a picture.
Would never have thought contrast/brightness though :(
You need to change "In this picture, I see _____" to "In this picture, I think you see ____".
I see nothing but static, and have never been able to see the images in those old-fashioned "3D" pictures. Thus, when I say "In this picture, I see static", that is absolutely correct.
Why should I waste another second on your page after you've pulled such a bait-and-switch? What does the page have to do with hacking?
You can also do this in Chrome/webkit by inspecting the element and messing with -webkit-filter,
I used: -webkit-filter: brightness(50%) contrast(5000%) sepia(0%);
To reveal the code.
I got to level 4 by writing a simple script bruteforce method, tried every number from 1 to 100+ until I got the right answer. Don't want to give out the answer, but yes, the answer was more than 100.
Hm... nice, but I managed to get to level 4 with just using some Google fu (for #2) and the online http://pixlr.com (was lazy enough to download GIMP). And I didn't need to write a line of code so far (yep, not even for #3, took me 5 minutes manually). Is that the intention?
Also, the question on level 4, "The only gramatically correct address in that file is", grammatically is spelled incorrectly. Since it wouldn't make a good hint, I assume it's a typo.

The file name looks like a code.
I swear I saw Santa.

I found it by opening in gimp and randomly messing with colours/brightness/levels/etc
Level 2 appears to require that I download iTunes to reverse engineer an itunes twitter app... I gave up on that
+ Open photoshop
+ Reduce brightness 2-4 times
+ Punch in code
+ Get to level 2
+ Give up
I just got it by googling twitter oauth key leaks...
Definitely wasn't a fun or interesting challenge.
What are you gaining from Twitter authentication? What are users gaining from it?
Are these standard twitter permissions?
And yes, this is just the default settings :-)
