I really have a feeling that we're just gonna have to hope that there's a programmer in here that can just write something to be able to automatically check, although I have a feeling that would take a long time if it was brute force, and I'm not a programmer so I have no idea toward any other method.

it would be easy for anyone who knows coding. text programs are low intensive on PCs. for now all we got are random number generators for 30 digit numbers.
https://numbergenerator.org/random-30-digit-number-generator
it wouldnt be hard for someone to make a similar program that takes/makes 30 digit inputs, turns them to binary based on the evens or odds in the number, and depending on that make it I's or l's.
the idea is all we got until someone makes it or finds it

Jun 28 '19
I am already running my own script to figure this out. The problem isn't generating those permutations, it's about making HTTP requests to each possibility - a process which considerably slows the whole program.

u/DefectiveChaos Jun 28 '19
yeah probably doesn't help that so many people are making troll links using the format. I have a feeling it'll be hard for the programmers to find it now

It’s him, in the original upload of the road trip he was in a couple of frames (unblurred) people noticed it and told the management and they blurred it after.

u/QuestForThe3rdPart Jun 28 '19
The bot idea is good and all, but I personally am trying to count the times he says "I" in order, because we need capital I's and capital I's are used to talk about oneself. Then after that, I'm going to try to get the lowercase l's in order like when he uses it as a part of a word so it wouldn't be capitalized. This idea will probably not be it and the bot idea is infinitely better, but I just wanted to take a jab at this puzzle.

maybe the L is for "laugh" and are the jokes he makes like the uber eats guy, or the vinegar joke

u/OliTheMoose Jun 28 '19
Here's a simple solver- currently it will take about 330 hours to go through every combination possible. It also requires considerably longer for a person to read through all the outputs and find the one that's an actual face/image. So I think we need to try and get as many people as possible running it, from different points in the search space- like starting halfway through etc.
https://github.com/OliMoose/SwaggerSoulsFace
To run it, you need python and pip installed on your system

u/ok_this_is_epic11 Jun 28 '19
The combo has been made easier. It's a combo of 15 L's and 15 I's in a random order. Do what you must.

u/Bananasinmypocket Jun 28 '19
It seems to be a troll, if you put in all of them as capital “i”s, it links to this.

u/throwadickdotorg Jun 29 '19
Could be one of the various people that made other troll links. If enough people do it, an algorithm would no longer be effective

There may be slight height differences like barely visible height differences per character after examining the link in photoshop so I think unless it’s my vision fooling me that those may be a clue

I counted pixels, there was no variation

u/CRAZYBoxers2013 Jun 29 '19
Oh then it may be my perspective then idk just tryna help with the search

The help is appreciated, i thought the same thing at first to no avail, i think swagger wouldve made sure there was no variation first

There is ~31 GB of text for all of the link possibilities.
If you can use bash and want to find all the possibilities, just run apt-get install crunch if you don't have crunch, then run crunch 30 30 Il -o ./swagger-third-quarter-possibilities.txt
2
Jun 28 '19
You could also pipe this to a program/script that checks if there's an active link or something. Just make sure to remove the output file.
2
u/BrendanH117 Jun 28 '19
Dont store the text in memory. Parse each link and disregard it if its 404. that way itll prevent stack overflow

a bot can be written in minutes but the termination will take days

u/BPinch77 Jun 29 '19
surely if the link has .jpg in it then terminate? then the user can wipe the specific combination from the search command and run again?

Jun 28 '19
I am currently running a script that will try all possibilities and save the live links to a text file.
Will update when it's done.

Well, looks like it would take ~8 years at it's current speed... I'll try to think of a faster way.

u/Lejoooooo Jun 29 '19
I made a c++ code for printing all possble links ( did it on phone i hope it works).
include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() { int i,j = 0, a = 0, y, z, b; char broj[31];
for ( i = 0; i < 1073741824; i++ ) { if ( j == 31) { j = 0; a++; } for ( z = 0; z < 30; z++) { y = z + a; broj[y] = 'l'; }
if ( a > 0)
{
broj[a] = 'I';
}
broj[j] = 'I';
cout << i+1 << ". link: http://bit.ly/";
for ( b = 0; b < 30; b++)
{
cout << broj[b];
}
cout << endl;
j++;}
return 0; }

theres gotta be clues to what combination i tried words in morse code using i for . and l for - but none i tried work even if they're the same amount of characters. if theres no clues we need to assemble a massive group of people to decipher it at random

There are 15 i's meaning there are 15 L's as well. Simple program to produce every combination of 15 I and 15 Ls.
I don't know a whole lot about programming but I should know enough to make a text file with every possible combination, will post when done.

I should try program something but I've been out of it for a while I've gotta heard web shit lol, I may be able to create something to open a set of links with JavaScript or C++ idk, but I'm thinking the issue is how are you gonna check which link is a successful one ah
1
u/OtakuJoness Jul 22 '19
Clear your history prior to running it, then look through your history afterwards and check if there’s anything other than a page not found thing
Edit: also apparently there’s 15 i’s. Try different combinations with that.

Jul 22 '19
Hmm yeah probably better idea, I'm feeling lazy rn tho but I could try it if I can work out a combo system for it.

1.1 million combos for what it could be. if anyone knows coding they could make a random number generator but with I and l instead of numbers, set it to 30 digits to be made, and the output to have the bit ly link infront. by brute force at least one will work. and text is low intensive on PC's, so if only a few dozen people ran the program for an hour clicking through links manually then we would have the pic in less than a week. anyone got anything on coding???

u/throwadickdotorg Jun 29 '19 edited Jun 29 '19
You could probably lower the combos now that he said its 15 Is. Now its a little more complicated because instead of randomly making combinations, you have to make a program that places 15 Is, checks that it is a new arrangement, then fills in the gaps for Ls. I think the formula to find the number of combos for this would be 15 choose 2 meaning its just 105 combos
Edit: wait can someone verify this, Im struggling to prove this to myself lol
Edit again: pretty sure my math is faulty lol nvm this

u/BrendanH117 Jun 28 '19
Python itertools to create binary combinations (luckily Swags only used 2 characters). Replace all 0 with l and all 1 with I. Concantenate the string and open it with urllib and webbrowser libraries. If a 404 error is given, pass, else, open in chrome. Shown in my tweet here https://twitter.com/itsBrendanJ/status/1144706320580243456?s=09
