Scan 26

This month's challenge is a continuation of Scan of the Month 24. In that first challenge, you had to decode and analyze a floppy disk recovered from the drug dealer Joe Jacobs. Your mission is to now analyze the floppy recovered from his supplier, Jimmy Jungle. All submissions have to be in by Friday, 21 February. Results will be released Friday, 28 February.

Skill Level: Intermediate - Advanced

The Challenge:
In SotM 24 your mission was to analyze a floppy disk recovered from the drug dealer Joe Jacobs. In this new challenge, your mission is to analyze the floppy recovered from his computer savy supplier, Jimmy Jungle. Once again, you will need to read the police report before continuing. Just as in the last challenge, this situation is fictional, and not based on any real characters or incidents.
