I started looking through corrupt Winamp skins and it lead me down some very strange rabbit holes

This ended up leading me down a series of wild rabbit holes where I found:

  • Encrypted files which I was able to crack to discover their secrets
  • A gift a dad in Thailand had made for his two and a half year old son, but didn’t want published online
  • Somebody’s email password
  • A secret biography of Chet Baker
  • A file called worm.exe which held quite the surprise
  • A host of extremely random images and files
  • 56 previously unknown Winamp skins hidden inside other Winamp skins!

    I would’ve enjoyed reading the touching letter that a father from Thailand wrote… Nice post!
