<hr />
<div>This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to. There is also an oft-unused page of [[False Puzzles & Speculation]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current Hot Topics==<br />
Our Perplex City contacts have been talking about these recently:<br />
<br />
* Does the [[Library of Babel]] page hold any secrets? And who is Combed Thunderclap -- the one who made the page, the one who made the [[Puzzle card symbols]], and (apparently) the one responsible for stealing the cube?<br />
<br />
* The [[Backdoor]] to the Crypto department is still mysterious in operation and scope. Those desiring to tackle it should read the [[Backdoor Primer]] first. There are specifically two open questions: first, there is some method of crashing the system Caine found which pulled up a file we haven't seen yet. Secondly, when starting the commands with a single END, it is possible to extract single letters and punctuation -- are there more, and do they anagram together to form a password or the like?<br />
<br />
* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the [[Gillit Road]] fiasco was a legitimate secret [[Police]] operation gone wrong, no thanks to [[Kurt]]. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent? And even if she is, as we assume, legit, we don't know anything about her obviously extensive counter-3P investigations. Or why she lied about the items found at the [[Five of Cups]] to [http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/08/police_close_ho.html The Sentinel]. Or additionally, if she's truly "left the force" or has gone undercover, and why she's currently in [[Gladstone]].<br />
<br />
* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone from the [[Department of Cryptology]] on the day following the theft. ([[Alejo]]: "Even our best production guy, Cyrus, was a little off that day - I remember he was having this big argument, said he was talking to Helix about his contract, but when I redialed from the studio console a little later to talk to Helix, I got some office at the Academy.") Also, Kurt's friend [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html speculated] (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to thoroughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is probably an Adjunct Senior Fellow from the [[Leaked_E-mails#Super_Sneaky.21|leaked emails]]. V also refers to someone "more senior", who probably resides at the Academy, and therefore is probably a Senior Fellow.<br />
<br />
* Where are the parts being stolen from the Academy going, and what else might the criminals need? One part was tracked to near [[The Brotherhood of the Six]] temple, where [[Anna Heath]] died. And what is the "Special Project 487" that was used to request the parts in the first place?<br />
<br />
==Unsolved Puzzle Cards==<br />
''See: [[Puzzle Cards]] for more on these.''<br />
<br />
*'''[[Riemann]]''' ({{Card|238|Reimann}})- It's not really meant to be solved.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Shuffled]]''' ({{Card|243|Shuffled}}) - Once the method is discovered, it'll be easy...<br />
<br />
*'''[[The Thirteenth Labour]]''' ({{Card|251|The Thirteenth Labour}}) - Come join the concerted effort to solve this puzzle, download the client from [http://www.e-wire.net.au/~eb_oakla/pxc/13labour_1_3_1.zip here], and follow progress at the [http://www.13thlabour.tk Assault on 13th Labour] site.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Billion to One]]''' ({{Card|256|Billion to One}}) - A person must be located by just a photo; the card is meant to test the "six degrees of separation" concept by having us send emails around the world. A website dedicated to the card is [http://www.billion2one.org/ here].<br />
<br />
* Many of the [[Cards]] have [[Playing card symbols]], and their various respective [[Talk:Playing card symbols|Letters]]. There are also strange [[Playing card symbols#Wave 4 Meta Information|shapes and number strings]]. The full message and meaning is still unknown, although it appears the card metapuzzle will lead us to the location of the cube.<br />
<br />
==On The Back Burner==<br />
No news from Perplex City lately:<br />
<br />
* We have evidence that confirms there was a second team of thieves who successfully stole the Cube, rather than [[V]], [[K]], [[Q]] and [[C]]. But who were these people and what is [[V]]'s [[3PGroupwareManager|connection]] to them?<br />
<br />
* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? What did the Castille family do there? We know it's some kind of military installation, and that they're trying to put together something that used to be there, according to [[Claire Castille]]'s story to [http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/index.html Scarlett]. The sound of drilling emanates from a long, low-slung industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field built by Claire that renders intruders confused and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that [[Sente]] knows about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from [[Scarlett]]'s presence at the facility. Does it have something to do with content in the previously mentioned [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]?<br />
<br />
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver [[Shuffled]] card.<br />
<br />
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?<br />
<br />
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.<br />
<br />
* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?<br />
<br />
* When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning [[The Receda Cube]]. [[Claire]] told [[Scarlett]] "We never got our hands on the target. ... Someone else was there. I don't know who and I don't know why. But to do what they did, they must have been a better programmer than me. That's not a large group." There was most definitely someone else there. However, [[Miranda]] didn't seem to know about them, and in [[3PGroupwareManager|V's talking with the operatives on Earth]], he sounds confident and upbeat. So does someone else have it or not?<br />
<br />
* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?<br />
<br />
* What happened on the night of [[Leaked_E-mails#Sneaky.21|7th Jan, 2004]]? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone remember anything?<br />
<br />
* What was up with Violet's [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10900 disappearing blog post] of 30th May 2005?<br />
<br />
* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting]] flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?<br />
<br />
* The big question: If the cube is on Earth, how did it get here and how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?<br />
<br />
* Oh, and, '''''Where is the bloody cube??'''''<br />
<br />
==Loose Threads==<br />
Some unresolved questions are unlikely to tie back into the plot, but remain hanging nonetheless:<br />
<br />
* There are numerous [[The_San_Francisco_Connection:_Unsolved_Questions|unsolved questions]] from the online component to [[The San Francisco Connection]].<br />
<br />
* The [[London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message]] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!<br />
<br />
* On the [[Receda Trail]], what was the missing link? Players traveled to a 9/11 memorial obelisk at Jones Beach, New York, but found no clues. Players then located the next step by checking for registered domains containing the word "receda". But what was the missing link between the two?<br />
<br />
* Some while ago, a special offer was sent out from Firebox, which contained the [[Firebox 100 Letters]]. Many have speculated this is a global sudoku. While it is not directly tied to the rest of the story, the question remains, what is the correct solution?</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Mine_Manhunt&diff=14995Mine Manhunt2006-08-28T00:59:06Z<p>Jbd: /* Conclusion */</p>
<hr />
<div>{{cleanup}}<br />
<br />
<br />
==General==<br />
* The following depicts the event that took place on 5/21/2006. The event revolved around [[Kurt]] attempting to follow and corner [[Miranda]] within the [[Silburn-Griggs]] Mines. Hence the name "Mine Manhunt".<br />
* On 21-MAY-06 Kurt gave a call out for volunteers to assist him while he was in the [[Silburn-Griggs]] Mines. [http://www.pathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/05/silburngriggs.html link]<br />
* Selected volunteers were to become moderators in a specialized chat created by Kurt for the purpose of advising him through the mines. <br />
* Kurt had set up his key to transcribe what he said into a specialized chatroom that everyone could observe.<br />
* The moderators would be the only ones able to speak to Kurt. Participants could speak and offer suggestions in a different channel and the moderators would filter and relay the advice to Kurt.<br />
* The selected moderators were: [[User:Lhall|LHall]], [[Sara Long|Duckiemonster]], Juxta, Cassandra, [[Ollie]], Six, Zaiel, and [[Mima]].<br />
* At 3:09 PM BST, Cube Hunters received the following text message on their mobiles:<br />
<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center" style="background:#bbbbff"<br />
!"Miranda is ahead of me, about to enter the Silburn-Griggs mine. I will be there in around an hour - and will need your help then. Check out www.tpolt.com"<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
* At 4:01 PM BST, Kurt placed a [http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/km444512/ link] to a "Key Communication Access" site that allowed users to access the channels [[Silburn-Griggs_IRC_chatlogs|''#kurtmod'']] and [[Silburn-Griggs_IRC_chatlogs|''#kurtchat'']. A short time after, Ollie opened up [[Silburn-Griggs_IRC_chatlogs|''#kurtsuggest''] for those who were fed up with spamming within #kurtchat. However, the moderators were unable to watch four channels at once and eventually focused solely on #kurtchat and #kurtmod.<br />
* [[Kurt]] would enter the mine several minutes later in an attempt to find [[Miranda]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==The Puzzles==<br />
<br />
The inside of the mine contained many puzzles, placed by apparently bored miners. Furthermore, rockfalls and other hazards made the mine extremely dangerous.<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Lift Puzzle===<br />
<br />
* Kurt entered the very dark mine. The front was boarded up but provided little obstacle for Kurt to break down. He mentioned to us that he had his key had a light but it is not very good. He was able to locate a power switch which turned on the lights. An empty lift was located however none of the buttons worked.<br />
* This moment marked the first puzzle found in the mine. The power button for the lift only activated when its corresponding power button was pressed on an opposing wall.<br />
* The Cube Hunters advised using his foot or a board to press both buttons at the same time. The attempt with the foot was rubbish and so Kurt retrieved a board. <br />
* At this point, it should be noted that Kurt's key started having connection problems. He reset the system. Upon reconnect, there was a great deal of confusion among the chat as the voice protocols and been disabled and the first person to enter had been given control of the room. Eventually, order was restored and Kurt had returned with the board.<br />
*The board was placed on one button while Kurt pressed the other, thus simulating that there were 2 people pressing the lift buttons. Success!<br />
<br />
[[Image:LiftPanel.jpg|thumb|right|Picture of the Lift Panel uploaded by [[Kurt]]]]<br />
* At this point, Kurt uploaded a picture of the lift panel for us to see. Those who were using the java client automatically had it displayed. Those who were not, had to resort to viewing an additional window (created especially for those with their own irc clients) to view the uploaded pictures.<br />
* Random pressing of the lift panel buttons just led to "metallic clunkings" (Kurt).<br />
* Cube Hunters were quick to relate the initials of the lower half of the buttons with the names given in the [http://www.silburn-griggs.com/dangers.html poem]. Thus, the correct order to press the buttons was "MS CG CD BG JH". With the lift elevator moving, Kurt moved down to level 1.<br />
* However, each level was blocked off with a blast door. Having no other place to go, the Cube Hunters directed Kurt back to level 1. They instructed him to crawl out of the lift elevator into a service duct which would drop him outside of the lift onto level 1. Despite some grumbling, Kurt followed these directions and ended up on level 1.<br />
<br />
===The Donkey Puzzle===<br />
[[Image:SilburnGriggsFloorPlan.jpg|thumb|right|Picture of the Shaft Floorplan uploaded by [[Kurt]]]]<br />
* Once on level 1, Cube Hunters directed Kurt to a mysteriouos D/S that had been the center of many a speculation. It turned out that D/S stood for D/5 and that the room was an empty cross-corridor that had been stripped of equipment. Hitting a dead end, Kurt turned back. At this point, Kurt uploaded a picture of the floorplan that he had seen in the mine.<br />
* However, upon heading back to the lift shaft, Kurt found an electronic switch box that opened all the blast doors. Now Kurt could travel unrestricted between levels.<br />
* Cube Hunters directed Kurt to find a Control type room that was mentioned on the [[Silburn-Griggs|''website'']]. Suggestions included CR on level 1 (Control Room?), CC on level 2 (Control Center?), and OP (Operations Post) on level 3. CR turned out to stand for Common Room. However, CC yielded the Control Center. The room was locked with an electronic alphanumeric numberpad lock. This lock was too old for [[Kurt]]'s key to open it.<br />
[[Image:DonkeyPic.jpg|thumb|right|Picture of the Donkey Puzzle uploaded by [[Kurt]]]]<br />
* Nearby, [[Kurt]] found a picture on the wall of a badly drawn yellow donkey, which was uploaded to the Cube Hunters.<br />
* While people printed the picture to try and rearrange it, others offered suggestions of passwords that referenced Mythology and the Golden Hinde. Other suggested passwords included the l33t sp34k version of donkey (d0nk3y). Eventually, the user Cabbage "found a puzzle - a little white horse hidden inside an ass". [http://www.mathpuzzle.com/loyd/cop016-017.html link]<br />
* After some explanation, fellow participants (and [[Kurt]]) realized that moving the pieces of the donkey around created a picture of a white horse.<br />
* Horse ended up being the code that opened the Control Center.<br />
* The Control Center was empty and filled with dust. Booting up an active console, [[Kurt]] gained access to the mine systems. The electrical output showed a significant amount of electrical activity in the southmost portion of level 1. Kurt chose to head there.<br />
* Unfortunately, levels 1 through 3 had been blocked by (what seemed to be recent) rockslide. <br />
* Kurt headed to level 4, which seemed "rougher ... newer" than the other levels. At this point, the lights decided to turn off, plunging Kurt into darkness.<br />
<br />
===The Morse Code Puzzle===<br />
* At this point, Kurt heard an alarm type sound coming from "a direction", which he [[media:MineMorseSound.mp3|''uploaded'']] for us. The sound seemed to be a series of alternating beeps, similar to Morse Code.<br />
* Upon examination, Kurt said that it came from two directions.<br />
* Cube Hunters quickly separated the sounds into two morse audio clips. One direction said "POWER", the other said "DEADEND". Kurt chose to follow in the direction of POWER.<br />
* Participants speculated as to whether the alarm was automated or set off by Miranda. Kurt speculated it to be automated due to power failure.<br />
* Walking down the route towards POWER, Kurt found a junction box.<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Junction Box Puzzle===<br />
[[Image:JunctionBox.jpg|thumb|right|Picture of the Junction Box Puzzle uploaded by [[Kurt]]]]<br />
* The Junction Box appeared to be a series of labeled levers with some corresponding lights.<br />
* Flipping Lever D resulted in the big light flickering green and then the lever and the light returning to their original positions.<br />
* As participants speculated to what the symbols around Lever A corresponded to (levels, Vents, Service, water with B, C, and D referring to locations?) Kurt stated that he was beginning to feel the air becoming stuffy. His key did not show an increase in gas levels and so he speculated that the vents had been shut off.<br />
* Moving Lever A to the V position results in no change and then the lever flipping back to its original position.<br />
* Moving Lever D slowly resulted in the corresponding big light turning orange halfway around the corner.<br />
* Moving Lever D to the orange position and then toggling Lever C (now identified by Kurt as a circuitbreaker) resulted in Lever D remaining flipped and the big light turned on.<br />
* [[Kurt]] speculated that Lever A was for specific systems (Vents, Lights, and Water. Everyone was still unsure of what S stood for).<br />
* Flipping Lever A to a position while Lever B was flipped resulted in a system being turned on. Thus, [[Kurt]] systematically turned on the vents, lights, and water systems. The "S" system seemed busted. Kurt and the participants speculated that it represented a busted security system (there were security cameras around).<br />
* Continuing down the leve, Kurt discovered another rockfall but was able to squeeze through.<br />
* Heeding warnings of a mysterious CH area ahead that was depicted on the map (speculated to be Chemical Hazards), Kurt found a locker room. Unfortunately it was locked. Rats.<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Plaque Puzzle===<br />
[[Image:PlaquePuzzle.jpg|thumb|right|Picture of the Plaque Puzzle uploaded by [[Kurt]]]]<br />
* The locker room was locked by a similar numeric pad as to the Control Center.<br />
* However, there was a warning that a failed password would lock down the system for an hour, which was time that Kurt could not waste.<br />
* Looking around, Kurt found a plaque which he uploaded.<br />
* Kurt mentioned that the plaque seemd to be something he had recently seen before, except more complex.<br />
* Cube Hunters attempted to correlate the image to previously seen maps, mainly the above-ground and the under-ground railways.<br />
* The user Cassandra discovered that the plaque relatively corresponded to the [[Perplex City Rail System]]. The dots with circles around them corresponded to the towns Wooster, Elmness, Stone Mills, and Treachery. The intials spelled out "WEST".<br />
* Kurt agrees that the plaque looks similar to the railway, albeit with more dots. He speculates that those locations had been closed down.<br />
* The password WEST opens up the locker room.<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Protective Suit Puzzle===<br />
[[Image:MineSuits.jpg|thumb|right|Picture of the Suits uploaded by [[Kurt]]]]<br />
* Inside the locker room were suits and other safety equipment.<br />
* [[Kurt]] uploaded a picture of the suits which were colored red, blue, green, and yellow. <br />
* Remembering the [http://www.silburn-griggs.com/dangers.html song], Cube Hunters recommended wearing the yellow outfit.<br />
* The reasoning was that in the song, those who wore other colors died due to various causes. Yellow seemed to be the suit that protected the wearer from the most dangers.<br />
* On the safety doors, [[Kurt]] found dials stating O2: 12.9 %, CO2: 9.1%, and R: 7 mR/hr.<br />
* O2 represented Oxygen, CO2 represented Carbon Dioxide, and R represnted millirads per hour (radiation).<br />
* The radiation level corresponded to the level of a chest x-ray.<br />
* After putting on the yellow suit and corresponding equipment, [[Kurt]] took a spanner stepped through the airlock. His key registered high CO2 levels but he was protected by the suit.<br />
<br />
==The Dead-End Shaft==<br />
* At this point, [[Kurt]] was inside the second shaft in a high CO2 area.<br />
* A drop depicted in the map was covered by a grating. There seemed to be water at the bottom. A stone tossed down the grate showed that the drop was pretty long.<br />
* There is no lift, nor signs of a lift. There isn't a ladder either, however there are markers that possibly signified a ladder that had been removed.<br />
* The walls were too smooth to climb upwards.<br />
* Eventually, the Cube Hunters decide the only direction to go is up and the only way to travel was by flooding the shaft. After a lot of discussion (and stalling) by everyone as to how to go about taking such actions, Kurt opened a valve for some water pipes that led into the grate.<br />
* The water level rose and [[Kurt]] was carried up, only to discover that the level 3 exit had been fused shut.<br />
* All of the other levels were also found to be fused shut as the (now exceedingly cold) [[Kurt]] floated higher and higher.<br />
* An interesting sidenote would be that there were calls for Kurt to get naked. Kurt's response was "Shut the hell up. That's not very funny".<br />
* The South entrance at level 1 had a grate but [[Kurt]] couldn't budge it in time before he was carried upwards. At this point, many wondered how this could have happened. It was speculated that the water would flow through the gate into the third shaft which would reduce the rate at which the water flowed up (at least until the third shaft was filled). Thus Kurt would have a lot more time than he described to remove the grate.<br />
* At the top of the shaft, [[Kurt]] found a door to the south. This door sealed the next room from the water in the shaft.<br />
* The room contained a heater and seemed to be a service shaft. It also contained tools. Noting the map, the chat suggested that [[Kurt]] drill his way into the room below. After a quick rest, Kurt proceeded to do so.<br />
* Kurt dropped through the hole into the next room.<br />
<br />
<br />
==The Encounter with Miranda==<br />
* The walls of the room seemed to be metallic which also affected Kurt's transmission. Some words appeared as <????> as it seemed that [[Kurt]]'s key was unable to translate or transmit the word due to intereference from the walls.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:01:29) Kurt: Walls are metal <????> transmission might be <????> so good<br />
<br />
(19:01:47) Six: you're braking up a bit it seems Kurt<br />
<br />
(19:01:58) Six: we're loosing words<br />
<br />
(19:02:11) Kurt: I'm <????> key is doing transcription but might <????> interrupted<br />
<br />
(19:02:23) Kurt: Going further in<br />
<br />
(19:02:44) Kurt: Another door<br />
|}<br />
<br />
*At this point, communication began to break down between the moderators and [[Kurt]]. He was mostly distracted by other things going on and the need to be silent and thus there wasn't much dialogue besides [[Kurt]]'s narration. Eventually, the moderators choose to just watch.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:02:57) Kurt: <????> some activity<br />
<br />
(19:03:04) duckiemonster: ? some activity<br />
<br />
(19:03:09) Ollie: Repeat, please<br />
<br />
(19:03:20) Kurt: Can hear something<br />
<br />
(19:03:29) duckiemonster: Voices?<br />
<br />
(19:03:31) Kurt: Someone has <????> cam<br />
<br />
(19:03:48) duckiemonster: Say again, Kurt.<br />
<br />
(19:03:49) Kurt: Moving further in, another door<br />
<br />
(19:04:06) Kurt: Going in... <????> someone there<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* About now, Kurt begins uploading pictures. The chat speculates that these images are coming from a security camera within the room that Kurt is approaching. The pictures are thermal images. The first one shows a picture of a what seems to be a person bending over something.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:06:30) Kurt: Miranda<????><br />
<br />
(19:06:41) Mima: Could be<br />
<br />
(19:06:42) Ollie: She stood up<br />
<br />
(19:06:52) Mima: There is a second person<br />
<br />
(19:07:04) Mima: To the left of the room<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* The chat assumes (correctly) that this person is Kurt.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:07:09) duckiemonster: Careful, Kurt.<br />
<br />
(19:07:15) Kurt: <SECOND VOICE ACTIVE...CALIBRATING><br />
|}<br />
<br />
* Right here, it seems as if Kurt's key recognized a second voice and calibrated itself to display text. hereafter, the 1 represents [[Kurt]] while the 2 represents [[Miranda]].<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:07:15) Kurt: 2 You're looking well. Shame. I liked the stick.<br />
<br />
(19:07:29) Kurt: 1 You must be tired/tyred<????>.<br />
<br />
(19:07:45) Kurt: 2 Not too bad. I've just taken my tablets. Sharp as a knife now.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* The chat guesses that the tablets are Oxxypro tablets. Some speculate that perhaps they are Ceretin based upon the "Sharp as a knife" comment. Note that Kurt's key is still having trouble making out words.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:08:02) Kurt: 1 It's a long way to come for a place<????> like this.<br />
<br />
(19:08:18) Kurt: 2 It's quiet/quite<????>... secluded... You didn't have to come.<br />
<br />
(19:08:30) Kurt: 1 You knew/new<????> I would.<br />
<br />
(19:08:39) Kurt: 2 I told you not to/too<????>.<br />
<br />
(19:08:52) Kurt: 1 I tend not to do what I'm told. I had to see you/CU<????>... I had to find out why you/YU<????> - why you/YU<????> would kill. Symbol is tea<????5%>. Or me.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* Symbol is tea probably means [[Cymbalisty]]. Thus, Kurt seems to be saying "I had to find out why you would kill Cymbalisty. Or me."<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:09:08) Kurt: 2 I never tried to hurt you. They wanted me to, but I wouldn't. Your key warned you about the gas, right? And in the pharmacy?<????> I could have taken you out if I'd wanted.<br />
<br />
(19:09:20) Kurt: 1 So what stopped you?<br />
<br />
(19:09:29) Kurt: 2 What stopped you turning me in?<br />
<br />
(19:09:42) Kurt: 1 ...Well, the police... leap to conclusions<????>. If you tell me why you did this I can help make your case. I have friends there.<br />
<br />
(19:09:55) Kurt: 2 Kurt/curt<????> ... noble Kurt... there are other ways round this. We don't need the police in the middle, coming between us... This assignment/sign meant<????> ... it wasn't regulation for me, you know. With you... I had fun. More than I deserved. You're smart. And cute - even without the stick. I didn't have to fake things.<br />
<br />
(19:10:09) Kurt: 1 How am I supposed to believe that? I can't believe a word you -<inc????><br />
<br />
(19:10:17) Kurt: 2 Kurt -<inc????><br />
<br />
(19:10:25) Kurt: 1 No, I'm not falling for any of -<inc????><br />
<br />
(19:10:38) Kurt: 2 It's not too late. We can still help each other.<br />
<br />
(19:10:46) Kurt: 1 I don't need your help!<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* During this dialogue, Kurt and Miranda have been circling each other (according to the thermal images).<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:10:59) Kurt: 2 No, Kurt, listen to me. Listen. We need each other. Do you think we're alone up here? I've called in my position. There are agents on their way to pick me up, right now. If I explain... you could find them very welcoming.<br />
<br />
(19:11:05) Kurt: 1 I don't think so.<br />
<br />
(19:11:19) Kurt: 2 How long are you going to keep this up? You're a sharp guy. You know the odds are against you. It's time to cut your losses. Cut the baggage<????> loose.<br />
<br />
(19:11:28) Kurt: 1 No. None of this was her fault.<br />
<br />
(19:11:48) Kurt: 2 Who's was it? Who got you into this mess? What's your excuse? At least I know why I'm doing all this.<br />
<br />
(19:11:48) Kurt: 2 Who's was it? Who got you into this mess? What's your excuse? At least I know why I'm doing all this.<br />
<br />
(19:11:48) Kurt: 2 Who's was it? Who got you into this mess? What's your excuse? At least I know why I'm doing all this.<br />
<br />
(19:12:04) Kurt: 1 So explain it. What's so important you'll kill for it? The grey<????7%> diary?<br />
<br />
(19:12:17) Kurt: 2 We had to get it back. It was about the experiments... the early Cube tests. We couldn't let Violet tell Earth what Granier discovered - the kind of damage the Cube could do.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* The repetition seems to be an error through the chat. It is doubtful [[Miranda]] would repeat the same thing three times. Also, Miranda speaks of agents on their way to pick her up. Thus, one can speculate that she is either part of an organization or is at least currently affiliated with one.<br />
* "Grey diary" is most likely the Granier diary.<br />
* Also, the according to [[Miranda]] the [[Cube]] seems to be dangerous. Exactly what is it that we are searching for??? Furthermore, there were originally tests done with regards to the [[Cube]] that resulted in damage. These tests probably are the ones mentioned in the [[Granier]] diary.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:12:26) Kurt: 1 Is that why you tried to steal it? To use it as a weapon?<br />
<br />
(19:12:38) Kurt: 2 We're just trying to take back what's rightfully ours. The Academy have fumbled<????> around with it for centuries... they're children. Look where it is now, thanks to kite way. Imagine if someone from Earth finds the Cube and keeps it for themselves. With their record, it could be the end of both worlds.<br />
<br />
(19:13:04) Kurt: 1 You really believe that, don't you?<br />
<br />
(19:13:18) Kurt: 2 Of course. It's the greater good, the lesser evil... and it's worth a few sacrifices... Give her up, Kurt. I can get you a deal if you let me explain and you hand over violet<????>.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* We realize that it this point [[Miranda]] has been implying [[Kurt]] sacrifice Violet.<br />
* Also, it seems that there might be another faction. One could speculate that there are two scenarios. [[Miranda]] could be a member of 3P and some other group (or someone else) brought the [[Cube]] to Earth. Thus [[Miranda]] is trying to retrieve the Cube from Earth. Or, [[Miranda]] could be part of that other group and 3P stole the [[Cube]].<br />
* Note that it is still unclear whether [[Miranda]] is on the "good"-side or the "bad"-side.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:13:31) Kurt: 1 Why...?<br />
<br />
(19:13:43) Kurt: 2 There has to be<????unkn>. Someone has to take the fall. We're pretty good at<????> any picture we like for the police. Leave violet<????> behind and the two of us can be in the clear. We can start again somewhere... a little cottage in harbin<????>... a villa in al err done<????>... together.<br />
<br />
(19:13:56) Kurt: 1 Why her?<br />
<br />
(19:14:06) Kurt: 2 I want to be with you, Kurt. And I want you to be committed to me. I love you. Show me you feel the same way.<br />
<br />
(19:14:13) Kurt: 1 I don't even know your name.<br />
<br />
(19:14:25) Kurt: 2 You know me.<br />
<br />
(19:14:30) duckiemonster: Kurt, don't step backwards.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* The chat had noticed what could have been a hot spot in the thermal imaging and thus attempted to warn [[Kurt]] not to move near it.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
| (19:14:32) Kurt: 1 Tell me the truth.<????> Just once.<br />
<br />
(19:14:43) Kurt: 2 Caroline.<????> <br />
|}<br />
<br />
* The thermal images are available [http://www.flickr.com/photos/julianb/sets/72057594141238387/show/ here.]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Thus, we now have a new name to call [[Miranda]]. However the last name has met with interference and thus no one can be sure of what it was. For that mattter, no one can know whether [[Miranda]] is telling the truth, especially after the next events.<br />
* At this point, dialogue ceases in the chat. The thermal images seem to show them close together, almost as if they are embracing. Eventually, it becomes clear that they are fighting. The images are sporadic and eventually shows [[Kurt]] kneeled over [[Miranda]] who is now lying down on the floor. [[Kurt]] stands up, pauses with his hand to his mouth (it is unsure whether he his biting his nails or simply covering his mouth) and then walks off.<br />
<br />
* After [[Kurt]] leaves the camera's view, the thermal images stop updating. "Key Connection Disrupted" is displayed. [[Kurt]] also logs out of the channel.<br />
* There is no response from [[Kurt]] nor any sign that [[Violet]] has made it to the mines. Connection with [[Kurt]]'s key is never re-established and the server eventually shuts down later that day.<br />
* We find out later from [[Violet]] that Miranda is dead and that [[Kurt]] killed her.<br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
* This event is the second time Kurt has been in a dangerous situation with Miranda, the first being when she tried to blow him up. Including the events at [[Gillit Road]], this event is the third time Kurt has been placed in a dangerous situation since the Earth has been introduced to Perplex City.<br />
* Miranda (Caroline) has given a lot of additional information to speculate upon involving organizations, the Cube, Sente Kiteway, and the Academy. However, given her propensity for lying, all of the data must be verified before trusted. <br />
* These speculations were made after the events in the Silburn-Griggs Mine. Thus they are subject to change as soon as more information comes in.<br />
* An entry made by [[Violet]] shows that [[Miranda]] did indeed have compatriots who were coming to get her.<br />
* [[Violet]] and [[Kurt]] retrieved [[Miranda]]'s satchel. It contained the true last page of the [[Granier#Diary|Granier Diary]].<br />

<hr />
<div>This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to. There is also an oft-unused page of [[False Puzzles & Speculation]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current Hot Topics==<br />
Our Perplex City contacts have been talking about these recently:<br />
<br />
* Does the [[Library of Babel]] page hold any secrets? And who is Combed Thunderclap -- the one who made the page, the one who made the [[Puzzle card symbols]], and (apparently) the one responsible for stealing the cube?<br />
<br />
* The [[Backdoor]] to the Crypto department is still mysterious in operation and scope. Those desiring to tackle it should read the [[Backdoor Primer]] first. There are specifically two open questions: first, there is some method of crashing the system Caine found which pulled up a file we haven't seen yet. Secondly, when starting the commands with a single END, it is possible to extract single letters and punctuation -- are there more, and do they anagram together to form a password or the like?<br />
<br />
* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the [[Gillit Road]] fiasco was a legitimate secret [[Police]] operation gone wrong, no thanks to [[Kurt]]. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent? And even if she is, as we assume, legit, we don't know anything about her obviously extensive counter-3P investigations. Or why she lied about the items found at the [[Five of Cups]] to [http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/08/police_close_ho.html The Sentinel]. Or additionally, if she's truly "left the force" or has gone undercover, and why she's currently in [[Gladstone]].<br />
<br />
* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone from the [[Department of Cryptology]] on the day following the theft. ([[Alejo]]: "Even our best production guy, Cyrus, was a little off that day - I remember he was having this big argument, said he was talking to Helix about his contract, but when I redialed from the studio console a little later to talk to Helix, I got some office at the Academy.") Also, Kurt's friend [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html speculated] (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to thoroughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is probably an Adjunct Senior Fellow from the [[Leaked_E-mails#Super_Sneaky.21|leaked emails]]. V also refers to someone "more senior", who probably resides at the Academy, and therefore is probably a Senior Fellow.<br />
<br />
* Where are the parts being stolen from the Academy going, and what else might the criminals need? One part was tracked to near the Brotherhood of the Six temple, where [[Anna Heath]] died. And what is the "Special Project 487" that was used to request the parts in the first place?<br />
<br />
==Unsolved Puzzle Cards==<br />
''See: [[Puzzle Cards]] for more on these.''<br />
<br />
*'''[[Riemann]]''' ({{Card|238|Reimann}})- It's not really meant to be solved.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Shuffled]]''' ({{Card|243|Shuffled}}) - Once the method is discovered, it'll be easy...<br />
<br />

<br />
*'''[[Billion to One]]''' ({{Card|256|Billion to One}}) - A person must be located by just a photo; the card is meant to test the "six degrees of separation" concept by having us send emails around the world. A website dedicated to the card is [http://www.billion2one.org/ here].<br />
<br />
* Many of the [[Cards]] have [[Playing card symbols]], and their various respective [[Talk:Playing card symbols|Letters]]. There are also strange [[Playing card symbols#Wave 4 Meta Information|shapes and number strings]]. The full message and meaning is still unknown, although it appears the card metapuzzle will lead us to the location of the cube.<br />
<br />
==On The Back Burner==<br />
No news from Perplex City lately:<br />
<br />
* We have evidence that confirms there was a second team of thieves who successfully stole the Cube, rather than [[V]], [[K]], [[Q]] and [[C]]. But who were these people and what is [[V]]'s [[3PGroupwareManager|connection]] to them?<br />
<br />
* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? What did the Castille family do there? We know it's some kind of military installation, and that they're trying to put together something that used to be there, according to [[Claire Castille]]'s story to [http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/index.html Scarlett]. The sound of drilling emanates from a long, low-slung industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field built by Claire that renders intruders confused and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that [[Sente]] knows about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from [[Scarlett]]'s presence at the facility. Does it have something to do with content in the previously mentioned [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]?<br />
<br />
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver [[Shuffled]] card.<br />
<br />
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?<br />
<br />
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.<br />
<br />
* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?<br />
<br />
* When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning [[The Receda Cube]]. [[Claire]] told [[Scarlett]] "We never got our hands on the target. ... Someone else was there. I don't know who and I don't know why. But to do what they did, they must have been a better programmer than me. That's not a large group." There was most definitely someone else there. However, [[Miranda]] didn't seem to know about them, and in [[3PGroupwareManager|V's talking with the operatives on Earth]], he sounds confident and upbeat. So does someone else have it or not?<br />
<br />
* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?<br />
<br />
* What happened on the night of [[Leaked_E-mails#Sneaky.21|7th Jan, 2004]]? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone remember anything?<br />
<br />
* What was up with Violet's [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10900 disappearing blog post] of 30th May 2005?<br />
<br />
* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting]] flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?<br />
<br />
* The big question: If the cube is on Earth, how did it get here and how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?<br />
<br />
* Oh, and, '''''Where is the bloody cube??'''''<br />
<br />
==Loose Threads==<br />
Some unresolved questions are unlikely to tie back into the plot, but remain hanging nonetheless:<br />
<br />
* There are numerous [[The_San_Francisco_Connection:_Unsolved_Questions|unsolved questions]] from the online component to [[The San Francisco Connection]].<br />
<br />
* The [[London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message]] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!<br />
<br />
* On the [[Receda Trail]], what was the missing link? Players traveled to a 9/11 memorial obelisk at Jones Beach, New York, but found no clues. Players then located the next step by checking for registered domains containing the word "receda". But what was the missing link between the two?<br />
<br />
* Some while ago, a special offer was sent out from Firebox, which contained the [[Firebox 100 Letters]]. Many have speculated this is a global sudoku. While it is not directly tied to the rest of the story, the question remains, what is the correct solution?</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Library_of_Babel&diff=14987Library of Babel2006-08-27T18:11:45Z<p>Jbd: </p>
<hr />
<div>One of the [[Leaked E-mails]] hinted at a "library" subdirectory:<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
|<br />
From: Garnet Reed<br/><br />
To: Henrik Tanner<br/> <br />
Subject: Internal Security<br/><br />
Sent: 17 August 2006 06.54pm <br />
<br />
Well, there's some 'library of something or other' subdirectory off the <br />
main path, for example. I only saw it for a split second and I couldn't <br />
get into it, but it clearly doesn't belong there, whatever it is.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
This led to a hidden page:<br />
<br />
http://perplexcityacademy.com/libraryofbabel/<br />
<br />
The page has an animated Flash file with the script "Thunderclap". An eye opens, and text slowly appears. A transcript follows. The strikethroughs indicate words that are erased in the animation.<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"<br />
|<br />
Waking. It was like waking into a new world <br />
from a dream of all the old. <br />
Or. No. Like opening my eyes <br />
although I knew they were already open. <br />
<br />
For a moment I thought I could see… <br />
everything. <br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
This is <s>not</s> important: I did not kill anyone. <br />
I have not killed anyone. <br />
Unless <s>by my silence</s> by remaining silent too long. <br />
But I can’t. <br />
I can’t. <br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I must continue in silence <br />
because what would I say, <br />
how would I convince anyone of what I tell you now? <br />
<br />
That I did not kill anyone. <br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
But someone did. <br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
There are so many possibilities, numberless scenarios <br />
and how do I know? How can I know which one is the <br />
truth? Like the books in the Library of Babel, each <br />
permutation may be the correct one, but is infinitely <br />
more likely to be deceptive. A phantom. A dream. <br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I thought it was a dream. Or a beautiful simulation of a place I have <br />
seen so many times before in photographs or video. I knew it at <br />
once: the yellow cars driven along the streets, the steam rising up <br />
from the sidewalk gratings. I thought: how marvellous. How real. <br />
I stumbled and fell. I grazed my hand and the blood was real and <br />
the pain was real and I began to understand. <br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I didn’t kill anyone. But someone did. And they’ll be looking for me.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The two paragraphs before the last have some letters that display before the others. This may be simply a visual effect or it may be a clue.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Paragraph1.PNG|first appearing paragraph]]<br />
<br />
[[Image:Paragraph2.PNG|second appearing paragraph]]<br />
<br />
There are also strange images above the eye, at first they were thought to be kanji. Later arkai discovered that they are just letters turned sideways. These letters seem to spell "Waking" (just like the first word of the animation).<br />

We know it's some kind of military installation, and that they're trying to put together something that used to be there, according to [[Claire Castille]]'s story to [http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/index.html Scarlett]. The sound of drilling emanates from a long, low-slung industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field built by Claire that renders intruders confused and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that [[Sente]] knows about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from [[Scarlett]]'s presence at the facility. Does it have something to do with content in the previously mentioned [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]?<br />
<br />
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver [[Shuffled]] card.<br />
<br />
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?<br />
<br />
* The [[London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message]] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!<br />
<br />
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.<br />
<br />
* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?<br />
<br />
* When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning [[The Receda Cube]]. [[Claire]] told [[Scarlett]] "We never got our hands on the target. ... Someone else was there. I don't know who and I don't know why. But to do what they did, they must have been a better programmer than me. That's not a large group." There was most definitely someone else there. However, [[Miranda]] didn't seem to know about them, and in [[3PGroupwareManager|V's talking with the operatives on Earth]], he sounds confident and upbeat. So does someone else have it or not?<br />
<br />
* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?<br />
<br />
* What happened on the night of [[Leaked_E-mails#Sneaky.21|7th Jan, 2004]]? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone remember anything?<br />
<br />
* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting]] flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?<br />
<br />
* What was up with Violet's [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10900 disappearing blog post] of 30th May 2005?<br />
<br />
* The big question: If the cube is on Earth, how did it get here and how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?<br />
<br />
* Some while ago, a special offer was sent out from Firebox, which contained the [[Firebox 100 Letters]]. Many have speculated this is a global sudoku. While it is not directly tied to the rest of the story, the question remains, what is the correct solution?<br />
<br />
* On the [[Receda Trail]], what was the missing link? Players traveled to a 9/11 memorial obelisk at Jones Beach, New York, but found no clues. Players then located the next step by checking for registered domains containing the word "receda". But what was the missing link between the two?<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to. There is also an oft-unused page of [[False Puzzles & Speculation]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current Hot Topics==<br />
Our Perplex City contacts have been talking about these recently:<br />
<br />
* Does the [[Library of Babel]] page hold any secrets?<br />
<br />
* The [[Backdoor]] to the Crypto department is still mysterious in operation and scope. Those desiring to tackle it should read the [[Backdoor Primer]] first. There are specifically two open questions: first, there is some method of crashing the system Caine found which pulled up a file we haven't seen yet. Secondly, when starting the commands with a single END, it is possible to extract single letters and punctuation -- are there more, and do they anagram together to form a password or the like?<br />
<br />
* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the [[Gillit Road]] fiasco was a legitimate secret [[Police]] operation gone wrong, no thanks to [[Kurt]]. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent? And even if she is, as we assume, legit, we don't know anything about her obviously extensive counter-3P investigations. Or why she lied about the items found at the [[Five of Cups]] to [http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/08/police_close_ho.html The Sentinel]. Or additionally, if she's truly "left the force" or has gone undercover, and why she's currently in [[Gladstone]].<br />
<br />
* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone from the [[Department of Cryptology]] on the day following the theft. ([[Alejo]]: "Even our best production guy, Cyrus, was a little off that day - I remember he was having this big argument, said he was talking to Helix about his contract, but when I redialed from the studio console a little later to talk to Helix, I got some office at the Academy.") Also, Kurt's friend [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html speculated] (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to thoroughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is probably an Adjunct Senior Fellow from the [[Leaked_E-mails#Super_Sneaky.21|leaked emails]]. V also refers to someone "more senior", who probably resides at the Academy, and therefore is probably a Senior Fellow.<br />
<br />
* Where are the parts being stolen from the Academy going, and what else might the criminals need? One part was tracked to near the Brotherhood of the Six temple, where [[Anna Heath]] died. And what is the "Special Project 487" that was used to request the parts in the first place?<br />
<br />
==Unsolved Puzzle Cards==<br />
''See: [[Puzzle Cards]] for more on these.''<br />
<br />
*'''[[Riemann]]''' ({{Card|238|Reimann}})- It's not really meant to be solved.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Shuffled]]''' ({{Card|243|Shuffled}}) - Once the method is discovered, it'll be easy...<br />
<br />
*'''[[The Thirteenth Labour]]''' ({{Card|251|The Thirteenth Labour}}) - Come join the concerted effort to solve this puzzle, download the client from [http://www.e-wire.net.au/~eb_oakla/pxc/13labour_1_3_1.zip here], and follow progress at the [http://www.13thlabour.tk Assault on 13th Labour] site.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Billion to One]]''' ({{Card|256|Billion to One}}) - A person must be located by just a photo; the card is meant to test the "six degrees of separation" concept by having us send emails around the world. A website dedicated to the card is [http://www.billion2one.org/ here].<br />
<br />
* Many of the [[Cards]] have [[Playing card symbols]], and their various respective [[Talk:Playing card symbols|Letters]]. There are also strange [[Playing card symbols#Wave 4 Meta Information|shapes and number strings]]. The full message and meaning is still unknown, although it appears the card metapuzzle will lead us to the location of the cube.<br />
<br />
==On The Back Burner==<br />
No news from Perplex City lately:<br />
<br />
* We have evidence that confirms there was a second team of thieves who successfully stole the Cube, rather than [[V]], [[K]], [[Q]] and [[C]]. But who were these people and what is [[V]]'s [[3PGroupwareManager|connection]] to them?<br />
<br />
* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? What did the Castille family do there? We know it's some kind of military installation, and that they're trying to put together something that used to be there, according to [[Claire Castille]]'s story to [http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/index.html Scarlett]. The sound of drilling emanates from a long, low-slung industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field built by Claire that renders intruders confused and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that [[Sente]] knows about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from [[Scarlett]]'s presence at the facility. Does it have something to do with content in the previously mentioned [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]?<br />
<br />
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver [[Shuffled]] card.<br />
<br />
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?<br />
<br />
* The [[London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message]] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!<br />
<br />
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.<br />
<br />
* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?<br />
<br />
* When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning [[The Receda Cube]]. [[Claire]] told [[Scarlett]] "We never got our hands on the target. ... Someone else was there. I don't know who and I don't know why. But to do what they did, they must have been a better programmer than me. That's not a large group." There was most definitely someone else there. However, [[Miranda]] didn't seem to know about them, and in [[3PGroupwareManager|V's talking with the operatives on Earth]], he sounds confident and upbeat. So does someone else have it or not?<br />
<br />
* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?<br />
<br />
* What happened on the night of [[Leaked_E-mails#Sneaky.21|7th Jan, 2004]]? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone remember anything?<br />
<br />
* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting]] flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?<br />
<br />
* What was up with Violet's [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10900 disappearing blog post] of 30th May 2005?<br />
<br />
* The big question: If the cube is on Earth, how did it get here and how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?<br />
<br />
* Some while ago, a special offer was sent out from Firebox, which contained the [[Firebox 100 Letters]]. Many have speculated this is a global sudoku. While it is not directly tied to the rest of the story, the question remains, what is the correct solution?<br />
<br />
* On the [[Receda Trail]], what was the missing link? Players traveled to a 9/11 memorial obelisk at Jones Beach, New York, but found no clues. Players then located the next step by checking for registered domains containing the word "receda". But what was the missing link between the two?<br />

<div>This page describes the Academy's [[Department of Cryptology|Crypto Department]] Backdoor file system. The system was used to discover a set of discussions and a parts list, as compiled by [[Karen Moro]]. Please see the '''[[Backdoor Summary]]''' page, which is simply a collection of the important facts learned from this endeavour. Those wanting to understand the mechanics behind the Backdoor (and help resolve some unsolved questions) should read the '''[[Backdoor Primer]]'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
''Note: after the shut down of the data link to Earth, which was restored at the San Francisco live event, this page is not accessible. Not known if it will come back up.''<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]] and written by [[User:Scott|Scott]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface could be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 19 July 2006, the puzzle appears to be sifted through entirely and exhausted. For those new to it, or just generally confused, see the [[Backdoor Primer]] to learn how the interface operates.<br />
<br />
If you simply don't have time or interest to sort through this entire page, you are welcome to read the '''[[Backdoor Summary]]''' page, which collects the audio transcriptions and inventory catalogues. It's the very short version of all this.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and '''[[User:jbd|jbd]]''', #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (but then see grid below, as seems to vary)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''End''', if executed before a MOUNT command, will "log out" of one of two accounts. Configuring the system is different for no end commands, one end command, or two end commands. After MOUNT, END will end execution with the error "session can not be unloaded at this time". It is good for testing where the code is going.<br />
<br />
'''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, commands are '''time-sensitive'''. The same command path may yield a different result depending on the time it operates. This realization came after most of the command path additions within this entry. Therefore, great care must be taken to not only log the times that one accesses any bit of information using a specific command code, but to also go back and check for new paths especially since it seems some Audio files are only accesible using a single command code at a specific time.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''end''', '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

<br />
The following tables are for the userspace files once 2 END commands have been introduced. So far, it looks like there's only 1 zone, no switches, and either 1 or 2 rotates depending on the time. The files available switch every 3-4 hours, and the table below assumes they switch on the hour but this may be wrong. Times are all in UTC/GMT.<br />

===Infinite Loops===<br />
<br />
Certain configurations get into endless loops, causing the interface to crash and throw up random data (see [[#Logs: Gatehouse 24|Gatehouse logs]]. Direction is important in causing these, but some commands seem more "crash-friendly" than others. Working out which ones can cause loops ''may'' help in finding how [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/07/rage_against_th.html Caine broke the system]] a second way.<br />

Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />

Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

<pre>Notes:<br />
<br />
To make this more precise, let Krsa be an RSA generator with associated security<br />
parameter k and let Keys be the set of all moduli N that have positive probability<br />
to be outbut by Krsa. Let Hash be a family of functions whose key-space is Keys and<br />
such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />
<br />
-> Z<br />
<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />
Algorithm Sign N,p,qp,d (M)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
x <- yd mod N<br />
Return x<br />
Algorithm VGn,e (M,x)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
y<br />
<br />
<- xe mod N<br />
If y=y<br />

then return 1 else return 0</pre><br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

Well, hello again.<br />
<br />
<sigh> I hate talking into these things.<br />
Hang on, I think someone's coming! <rustly noises><br />
No, no, it's alright.<br />
<br />
Right, okay... that packing case... it's disappeared.<br />
<br />
I don't know when it went, but it's not there today. So I.. I think I saw it a couple of days ago... that was the last time. Not much help, I know.<br />
<br />
I gave the case a bit of a kick the other day, to see if I could hear what was in there. I think it was tech stuff.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm meeting up with a guy for lunch tomorrow, and he's kind of a hardware freak. So I might try kind of nudging him, see if there's anything going on. He's a nice guy, so he might be helpful.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to do anything, y'know, just to get information for you. It's bad enough sneaking around like this. I can't just talk to people anymore, it's like I'm always interrogating them, even my friends. I can't look at anything without suspecting it.<br />
It'll do my head in.<br />
<br />
<sigh> You'd better look after your side of the bargain.<br />
It's the only reason i'm doing this.<br />

I saw my dad the other day so, thanks, he told me about everything and... Well I’m, I’m just glad there’s a point to all this; he’s... he’s looking much better... and I suppose that means that you’re happy with how I’m doing, so I’m... probably on the right track?<br />
<br />
I’ve been keeping an eye on the deliveries here, um I don’t think there has been anything funny for weeks now, but , you’know, I ''might'' have missed something. There ''have'' been a couple of odd projects coming across my desk though. Nobody ever gets the full picture here, but I’ve noticed some themes in the encryption work I’m doing, for a start it’s pretty advanced, everything’s been marked for ‘quantum’ (which isn’t perfect yet, but it’s about the highest level we’ve got). But <sigh> there are a couple of words that keep coming up too and... well, I <stumbles over words> I don’t have a clear picture of what they mean, but maybe they’ll mean something to you, the sender or the recipient is always called ‘[[Viendenbourg]]’ and there are all these references to ‘the material’ and how much of it they’ve got. I know I’m not seeing all the messages, they spread the work around – you’know, security - but only a few of us can handle quantum encryption so I’m seeing a ''fair chunk'' of the correspondence. It just seems odd it needs to be so secret, so... that’s why I mention it.<br />
<br />
I’d better go soon, there’s umm, a protest outside the museum and it will take me ages to get past them. Anyway... I can’t think of anything else... nope that’s it.<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
[[Robert_Drake|Someone in my block]] got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Unsolved_mysteries&diff=14873Unsolved mysteries2006-08-24T01:07:48Z<p>Jbd: /* Unsolved Puzzle Cards */ fixed link to wave 4 meta to match edit</p>
<hr />
<div>This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to. There is also an oft-unused page of [[False Puzzles & Speculation]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current Hot Topics==<br />
Our Perplex City contacts have been talking about these recently:<br />
<br />
* The [[Backdoor]] to the Crypto department is still mysterious in operation and scope. Those desiring to tackle it should read the [[Backdoor Primer]] first. There are specifically two open questions: first, there is some method of crashing the system Caine found which pulled up a file we haven't seen yet. Secondly, when starting the commands with a single END, it is possible to extract single letters and punctuation -- are there more, and do they anagram together to form a password or the like?<br />
<br />
* Why build a Clean Room? Kurt stumbled across extremely well maintained tunnels beneath the Gillit Road Subway. In return for providing information on Quinton, Helena Frye revealed that the 3P were constructing a clean room for purposes unknown.<br />
<br />
* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the [[Gillit Road]] fiasco was a legitimate secret [[Police]] operation gone wrong, no thanks to [[Kurt]]. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent? And even if she is, as we assume, legit, we don't know anything about her obviously extensive counter-3P investigations. Or why she lied about the items found at the [[Five of Cups]] to [http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/08/police_close_ho.html The Sentinel]. Or additionally, if she's truly "left the force" or has gone undercover, and why she's currently in [[Gladstone]].<br />
<br />
* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone from the [[Department of Cryptology]] on the day following the theft. ([[Alejo]]: "Even our best production guy, Cyrus, was a little off that day - I remember he was having this big argument, said he was talking to Helix about his contract, but when I redialed from the studio console a little later to talk to Helix, I got some office at the Academy.") Also, Kurt's friend [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html speculated] (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to thoroughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is probably an Adjunct Senior Fellow from the [[Leaked_E-mails#Super_Sneaky.21|leaked emails]]. V also refers to someone "more senior", who probably resides at the Academy, and therefore is probably a Senior Fellow.<br />
<br />
* Where are the parts being stolen from the Academy going, and what else might the criminals need? One part was tracked to near the Brotherhood of the Six temple, where [[Anna Heath]] died.<br />
<br />
==Unsolved Puzzle Cards==<br />
''See: [[Puzzle Cards]] for more on these.''<br />
<br />
*'''[[Riemann]]''' ({{Card|238|Reimann}})- It's not really meant to be solved.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Shuffled]]''' ({{Card|243|Shuffled}}) - Once the method is discovered, it'll be easy...<br />
<br />
*'''[[The Thirteenth Labour]]''' ({{Card|251|The Thirteenth Labour}}) - Come join the concerted effort to solve this puzzle, download the client from [http://www.e-wire.net.au/~eb_oakla/pxc/13labour_1_3_1.zip here], and follow progress at the [http://www.13thlabour.tk Assault on 13th Labour] site.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Billion to One]]''' ({{Card|256|Billion to One}}) - A person must be located by just a photo; the card is meant to test the "six degrees of separation" concept by having us send emails around the world. A website dedicated to the card is [http://www.billion2one.org/ here].<br />
<br />
* Many of the [[Cards]] have [[Playing card symbols]], and their various respective [[Talk:Playing card symbols|Letters]]. There are also strange [[Playing card symbols#Wave 4 Meta Information|shapes and number strings]]. The full message and meaning is still unknown, although it appears the card metapuzzle will lead us to the location of the cube.<br />
<br />
==On The Back Burner==<br />
No news from Perplex City lately:<br />
<br />
* We have evidence that confirms there was a second team of thieves who successfully stole the Cube, rather than [[V]], [[K]], [[Q]] and [[C]]. But who were these people and what is [[V]]'s [[3PGroupwareManager|connection]] to them?<br />
<br />
* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? What did the Castille family do there? We know it's some kind of military installation, and that they're trying to put together something that used to be there, according to [[Claire Castille]]'s story to [http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/index.html Scarlett]. The sound of drilling emanates from a long, low-slung industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field built by Claire that renders intruders confused and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that [[Sente]] knows about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from [[Scarlett]]'s presence at the facility. Does it have something to do with content in the previously mentioned [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]?<br />
<br />
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver [[Shuffled]] card.<br />
<br />
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?<br />
<br />
* The [[London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message]] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!<br />
<br />
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.<br />
<br />
* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?<br />
<br />
* When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning [[The Receda Cube]]. [[Claire]] told [[Scarlett]] "We never got our hands on the target. ... Someone else was there. I don't know who and I don't know why. But to do what they did, they must have been a better programmer than me. That's not a large group." There was most definitely someone else there. However, [[Miranda]] didn't seem to know about them, and in [[3PGroupwareManager|V's talking with the operatives on Earth]], he sounds confident and upbeat. So does someone else have it or not?<br />
<br />
* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?<br />
<br />
* What happened on the night of [[Leaked_E-mails#Sneaky.21|7th Jan, 2004]]? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone remember anything?<br />
<br />
* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting]] flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?<br />
<br />
* What was up with Violet's [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10900 disappearing blog post] of 30th May 2005?<br />
<br />
* The big question: If the cube is on Earth, how did it get here and how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?<br />
<br />
* Some while ago, a special offer was sent out from Firebox, which contained the [[Firebox 100 Letters]]. Many have speculated this is a global sudoku. While it is not directly tied to the rest of the story, the question remains, what is the correct solution?<br />
<br />
* On the [[Receda Trail]], what was the missing link? Players traveled to a 9/11 memorial obelisk at Jones Beach, New York, but found no clues. Players then located the next step by checking for registered domains containing the word "receda". But what was the missing link between the two?<br />
<br />
* Oh, and, '''''Where is the bloody cube??'''''</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Unsolved_mysteries&diff=14743Unsolved mysteries2006-08-19T14:38:17Z<p>Jbd: /* Unsolved Puzzle Cards */</p>
<hr />
<div>This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to. There is also an oft-unused page of [[False Puzzles & Speculation]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current Hot Topics==<br />
Our Perplex City contacts have been talking about these recently:<br />
<br />
* The [[Backdoor]] to the Crypto department is still mysterious in operation and scope. Those desiring to tackle it should read the [[Backdoor Primer]] first. There are specifically two open questions: first, there is some method of crashing the system Caine found which pulled up a file we haven't seen yet. Secondly, when starting the commands with a single END, it is possible to extract single letters and punctuation -- are there more, and do they anagram together to form a password or the like?<br />
<br />
* Why build a Clean Room? Kurt stumbled across extremely well maintained tunnels beneath the Gillit Road Subway. In return for providing information on Quinton, Helena Frye revealed that the 3P were constructing a clean room for purposes unknown.<br />
<br />
* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the [[Gillit Road]] fiasco was a legitimate secret [[Police]] operation gone wrong, no thanks to [[Kurt]]. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent? And even if she is, as we assume, legit, we don't know anything about her obviously extensive counter-3P investigations. Or why she lied about the items found at the [[Five of Cups]] to [http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/08/police_close_ho.html The Sentinel]. Or additionally, if she's truly "left the force" or has gone undercover, and why she's currently in [[Gladstone]].<br />
<br />
* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone from the [[Department of Cryptology]] on the day following the theft. ([[Alejo]]: "Even our best production guy, Cyrus, was a little off that day - I remember he was having this big argument, said he was talking to Helix about his contract, but when I redialed from the studio console a little later to talk to Helix, I got some office at the Academy.") Also, Kurt's friend [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html speculated] (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to thoroughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is probably an Adjunct Senior Fellow from the [[Leaked_E-mails#Super_Sneaky.21|leaked emails]]. V also refers to someone "more senior", who probably resides at the Academy, and therefore is probably a Senior Fellow.<br />
<br />
* Where are the parts being stolen from the Academy going, and what else might the criminals need? One part was tracked to near the Brotherhood of the Six temple, where [[Anna Heath]] died.<br />
<br />
==Unsolved Puzzle Cards==<br />
''See: [[Puzzle Cards]] for more on these.''<br />
<br />
*'''[[Riemann]]''' ({{Card|238|Reimann}})- It's not really meant to be solved.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Shuffled]]''' ({{Card|243|Shuffled}}) - Once the method is discovered, it'll be easy...<br />
<br />
*'''[[The Thirteenth Labour]]''' ({{Card|251|The Thirteenth Labour}}) - Come join the concerted effort to solve this puzzle, download the client from [http://www.e-wire.net.au/~eb_oakla/pxc/13labour_1_3_1.zip here], and follow progress at the [http://www.13thlabour.tk Assault on 13th Labour] site.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Billion to One]]''' ({{Card|256|Billion to One}}) - A person must be located by just a photo; the card is meant to test the "six degrees of separation" concept by having us send emails around the world. A website dedicated to the card is [http://www.billion2one.org/ here].<br />
<br />
* Many of the [[Cards]] have [[Playing card symbols]], and their various respective [[Talk:Playing card symbols|Letters]]. There are also strange [[Playing card symbols#Cards With Strange Shapes|shapes]] and [[Playing card symbols#Cards With Number Strings|strings]]. The full message and meaning is still unknown, although it appears the card metapuzzle will lead us to the location of the cube.<br />
<br />
==On The Back Burner==<br />
No news from Perplex City lately:<br />
<br />
* We have evidence that confirms there was a second team of thieves who successfully stole the Cube, rather than [[V]], [[K]], [[Q]] and [[C]]. But who were these people and what is [[V]]'s [[3PGroupwareManager|connection]] to them?<br />
<br />
* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? What did the Castille family do there? We know it's some kind of military installation, and that they're trying to put together something that used to be there, according to [[Claire Castille]]'s story to [http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/index.html Scarlett]. The sound of drilling emanates from a long, low-slung industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field built by Claire that renders intruders confused and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that [[Sente]] knows about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from [[Scarlett]]'s presence at the facility. Does it have something to do with content in the previously mentioned [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]?<br />
<br />
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver [[Shuffled]] card.<br />
<br />
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?<br />
<br />
* The [[London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message]] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!<br />
<br />
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.<br />
<br />
* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?<br />

<div>This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to. There is also an oft-unused page of [[False Puzzles & Speculation]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current Hot Topics==<br />
Our Perplex City contacts have been talking about these recently:<br />
<br />
* The [[Backdoor]] to the Crypto department is still mysterious in operation and scope. Those desiring to tackle it should read the [[Backdoor Primer]] first.<br />
<br />
* Why build a Clean Room? Kurt stumbled across extremely well maintained tunnels beneath the Gillit Road Subway. In return for providing information on Quinton, Helena Frye revealed that the 3P were constructing a clean room for purposes unknown.<br />
<br />
* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the [[Gillit Road]] fiasco was a legitimate secret [[Police]] operation gone wrong, no thanks to [[Kurt]]. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent? And even if she is, as we assume, legit, we don't know anything about her obviously extensive counter-3P investigations. Or why she lied about the items found at the [[Five of Cups]] to [http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/08/police_close_ho.html The Sentinel]. Or additionally, if she's truly "left the force" or has gone undercover, and why she's currently in [[Gladstone]].<br />
<br />
* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone from the [[Department of Cryptology]] on the day following the theft. ([[Alejo]]: "Even our best production guy, Cyrus, was a little off that day - I remember he was having this big argument, said he was talking to Helix about his contract, but when I redialed from the studio console a little later to talk to Helix, I got some office at the Academy.") Also, Kurt's friend [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html speculated] (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to thoroughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is probably an Adjunct Senior Fellow from the [[Leaked_E-mails#Super_Sneaky.21|leaked emails]]. V also refers to someone "more senior", who probably resides at the Academy, and therefore is probably a Senior Fellow.<br />
<br />
* Where are the parts being stolen from the Academy going, and what else might the criminals need? [[Anna Heath]] is investigating by speaking with her old friend (and head of security at the Academy), [[Henrik Tanner]]. [[Kurt]] is investigating by speaking with [[Karen Moro]].<br />

<br />
<br />
==On The Back Burner==<br />
No news from Perplex City lately:<br />
<br />
* We have evidence that confirms there was a second team of thieves who successfully stole the Cube, rather than [[V]], [[K]], [[Q]] and [[C]]. But who were these people and what is [[V]]'s [[3PGroupwareManager|connection]] to them?<br />
<br />
* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? What did the Castille family do there? We know it's some kind of military installation, and that they're trying to put together something that used to be there, according to [[Claire Castille]]'s story to [http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/index.html Scarlett]. The sound of drilling emanates from a long, low-slung industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field built by Claire that renders intruders confused and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that [[Sente]] knows about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from [[Scarlett]]'s presence at the facility. Does it have something to do with content in the previously mentioned [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]?<br />
<br />
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver [[Shuffled]] card.<br />
<br />
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?<br />
<br />
* The [[London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message]] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!<br />
<br />
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.<br />
<br />
* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?<br />
<br />
* When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning [[The Receda Cube]]. [[Claire]] told [[Scarlett]] "We never got our hands on the target. ... Someone else was there. I don't know who and I don't know why. But to do what they did, they must have been a better programmer than me. That's not a large group." There was most definitely someone else there. However, [[Miranda]] didn't seem to know about them, and in [[3PGroupwareManager|V's talking with the operatives on Earth]], he sounds confident and upbeat. So does someone else have it or not?<br />
<br />
* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?<br />
<br />
* What happened on the night of [[Leaked_E-mails#Sneaky.21|7th Jan, 2004]]? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone remember anything?<br />
<br />
* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting]] flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?<br />
<br />
* What was up with Violet's [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10900 disappearing blog post] of 30th May 2005?<br />
<br />
* The big question: If the cube is on Earth, how did it get here and how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?<br />
<br />
* Some while ago, a special offer was sent out from Firebox, which contained the [[Firebox 100 Letters]]. Many have speculated this is a global sudoku. While it is not directly tied to the rest of the story, the question remains, what is the correct solution?<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>==Introduction==<br />
<br />
Lots of good work has been done already with the crypto department backdoor. However, there may still be some people who are somewhat confused by how it works. There are also certainly further things we need to do with it, and so this guide is an attempt to get more people to the point where they can use it and, hopefully, break it too. The information presented is as accurate as possible at the time of writing, but may well be subject to change.<br />
<br />
So, what is it? The backdoor is a "basic" interface that lets you connect to the crypto departments files. By entering different "configurations" (i.e. combinations of commands) into the 5-by-5 grid, you can navigate around these files and gain access to some of them.<br />
<br />
So how does it work then? Well, there are 2 main things (for now - see "Further Research" below) to understand in order to use it properly. Firstly, how you place commands in the grid to get them to run properly, in the order you want. And secondly, how files are navigated to using the commands available.<br />
<br />
==Placing Commands==<br />
<br />
First up, a quick convention. In this document, I'll refer to grid squares in an X, Y fashion, starting in the top-left corner. Hence, the top-left corner is (1,1), the top-right corner is (5,1) and the bottom-left corner is (1,5). <br />
<br />
Commands are processed one by one, moving through the grid as they do so, starting with the command highest up in the ''left-most'' column - i.e. a command in the top-left corner will be run before anything else, but if there isn't one there, the command in (1,2) will go first - moving downwards until a command is found. However, the path taken through the grid after that depends on what commands are used - each command goes in a different direction. For instance, usually a SWITCH command will then move in a south-east direction.<br />
<br />
However, there are times when a command cannot move in the direction it would "like" to - either because it would go off the edge of the grid, or because it would go onto a square that has already been "processed", i.e. moved through. (Note, however, that this is not ''always'' the case, and further research needs to be done into this - see below.) When a command cannot go in a particular direction, it will usually try a second direction. If that one can't be moved to (for the same reasons) then a third, and a fourth, and so on until either it finds a new command to move to, or it runs out of directions to try. Note that not all commands will attempt to move in all 8 directions - e.g. some only move south-east, or fail.<br />
<br />
Handy Tip: You can find out which grid space is the next in the sequence by using the RUN command. Normally, you can put RUN anywhere in the grid and if the grid is incomplete, it will give you an "Invalid Command Grid" error. However, this error changes if you place the RUN command in the square that's next in the path. For example, placing a MOUNT command (which moves south-east) in the top-left corner and then placing RUN at (2,2) changes the error to "No area has been accessed".<br />
<br />
As far as I've been able to work out, the list of directions that each command tries to move to, in order, is roughly as follows (with some unconfirmed directions in brackets):<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
MOUNT: SE (this may be all - certainly doesn't go NW/N/NE)<br />
ZONE: W, ?, ... (Always tries to W first, but sometimes then tries N, and sometimes tries S.)<br />
SWITCH: SE, ...<br />
ROTATE: N, NE, E, SE, S<br />
COPY: S, ...<br />
FLUSH: S, ...<br />
PWRITE: E, S, ...<br />
POPEN: E, S, ...<br />
PREAD: W, S, ...<br />
CACHE: No direction, execution ends<br />
END: E, ...<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Where you see "...", things are very unconfirmed. However, the initial directions are enough to put together most combos that you want and should suffice to start with.<br />
<br />
To run the commands in your grid, either drop the RUN command anywhere into the grid, or if there's one in there already, simply click on it.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
If the grid looks like this...<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
-- -- -- -- --<br />
MO CA -- -- --<br />
RO ZO -- -- --<br />
-- -- -- RU --<br />
-- -- -- -- --<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
...then the order in which things happen, and the direction each command moves in, is...<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Mount (-se-) Zone (-w-) Rotate (-can't go n, so goes ne-) Cache<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
N.B. The position of RUN is purely arbitrary. You should receive the message about "the Master", after which you can press the "Reboot Command Interface" button to reset everything. Also note that you can't see what commands you had in the grid once a file is output, so it's a good idea to remember/note it down somehow.<br />
<br />
==File Navigation==<br />
<br />
So now you can put commands together, how do you get to files? What's all this talk of "3 ZONEs" and "4 ROTATEs"?<br />
<br />
The filesystem you're accessing via the interface is actually 3-dimensional in a sense. This means you can navigate to files by moving along 1 of these 3 axes. If you reach the end of an axis, you loop round to the start of it. The best way of picturing this, I find, is to look at the [[Backdoor#Command.2FFile_Mapping|File Mapping tables]], but I'll offer a different analogy below.<br />
<br />
The 3 main commands used to navigate to a file are ZONE, SWITCH and ROTATE. You must use at least 1 ZONE command and 1 ROTATE command. Furthermore, in order to access files, you also need to use a MOUNT command somewhere. The order is mostly not important (e.g. ZONE-MOUNT is the same as MOUNT-ZONE), although see the notes below for more speculation on this.<br />
<br />
If you're not comfortable with imagining things in 3D, then you can think of it like a series of bookcases. You have 4 bookcases, and you can move on to the next one in the sequence using a ZONE command. Each of these bookcases has 5 shelves, and you can move ''down'' (not up) to the next shelf using a SWITCH command - when you hit the floor, you just start again at the top bookshelf. Finally, each shelf has a number of books on it (which are the files), and you can move along (to the right, not the left) to the next book by using the ROTATE command - when you run out of books on a shelf, you just jump back to the beginning of the shelf. Also, when you switch to a new bookcase, you keep the position (in terms of shelf and book) you were in at the last one.<br />
<br />
Lastly, it seems that we don't have "direct" access to files. But in order to show the file that we're currently on, you can use the CACHE command. This must be the last command in the sequence and, if the file is readable, it will be displayed when the commands are run. (If it's not readable, you'll see an error.)<br />
<br />
===Using POPEN and PREAD===<br />
<br />
We have discovered some extra files in the file system by using POPEN and PREAD before doing a CACHE command. The exact effects of these commands aren't clear (although they may be similar to functions of the same name in Linux, which invoke a new command shell...). However, the [[Backdoor#Part:_Klebold_plates_.28ref:_122C76-3S.29|Klebold Plates]] file was found using this method.<br />
<br />
Further research is being done in this area, but all help is gratefully welcomed ;)<br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
<br />
I'm speculating that if you do a ROTATE before a MOUNT and a ZONE, then the system doesn't know how many files there are in the current "shelf", and so may not be able to move to the next file. Hence, Mount-Zone-Rotate-Rotate ''may'' be different to Rotate-Mount-Zone-Rotate. This is currently unconfirmed, but possibly worth noting/remembering.<br />
<br />
===Using END===<br />
<br />
If you try the configuration "END END END -- --" (on any line, with RUN anywhere) then you'll get the error message "All login sessions ended. File server inactive." It seems that, on the initial start up of the interface, you have been logged in through a series of 3 servers or accounts, each "inside" the previous one. By doing 3 ENDs, you log out of all of them. But by doing only 1 or 2, you get a different filesystem, or set of bookcases.<br />
<br />
So far, no files have been found after doing only 1 END command. However, the audio files and some text files have been found after logging out twice - i.e. doing 2 ENDs. The files available change periodically - sometimes 2 at a time are available (using 2 ROTATEs), sometimes only 1. [[Backdoor#Command.2FFile_Mapping|A list of these files and their access times]] is currently being compiled.<br />
<br />
==Other Commands==<br />
<br />
We're still not sure what these really do:<br />
<br />
* COPY<br />
* FLUSH<br />
* PWRITE<br />
<br />
==Breaking the System==<br />
<br />
Caine has identified [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/07/rage_against_th.html a couple of bugs in the system], although we only know what one of them is:<br />
<br />
===Infinite Loops===<br />
<br />
It is possible to cause the path of commands to loop back on itself, entering into a loop that never finishes. When this happens, the interface starts going all glitchy, and some random data - usually log files of conversation excerpts - is displayed.<br />
<br />
At present, we're not sure why some combinations of commands loop, while others don't - this may or may not be useful in working out the ''other'' way Caine found of breaking the system, but is being [[Backdoor#Infinite_Loops|documented a little bit]] anyway. It seems that some commands - or combinations of commands - don't bother to check if the next square in the path has already been processed or not.<br />
<br />
==Further Research==<br />
<br />
So what needs to be done now?<br />
<br />
* As mentioned above, Caine broke the system a second time to produce something that looks like it's from a network configuration file. There must be another way to make the system crash.<br />
* There are single characters that have been extracted by starting with one END command. How this works and if there are any more characters and if the characters fit together into something useful are all unanswered questions.<br />
* Determining when the changing files appear is a nice-to-have, but all (I think) are documented on the [[Backdoor]] page, and so this isn't a priority.<br />
* Working out what the other commands do may help to manipulate the system - e.g. if we can use PWRITE to ''change'' things...<br />

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 7 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
For those new to it, or just generally confused, '''check out the [[Backdoor Primer]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (but then see grid below, as seems to vary)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''End''', if executed before a MOUNT command, will "log out" of one of two accounts. Configuring the system is different for no end commands, one end command, or two end commands. After MOUNT, END will end execution with the error "session can not be unloaded at this time". It is good for testing where the code is going.<br />
<br />
'''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, commands are '''time-sensitive'''. The same command path may yield a different result depending on the time it operates. This realization came after most of the command path additions within this entry. Therefore, great care must be taken to not only log the times that one accesses any bit of information using a specific command code, but to also go back and check for new paths especially since it seems some Audio files are only accesible using a single command code at a specific time.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''end''', '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

====Two ENDs====<br />
<br />
The following tables are for the userspace files once 2 END commands have been introduced. So far, it looks like there's only 1 zone, no switches, and either 1 or 2 rotates depending on the time. The files available switch every 3-4 hours, and the table below assumes they switch on the hour but this may be wrong. Times are all in UTC/GMT.<br />

===Infinite Loops===<br />
<br />
Certain configurations get into endless loops, causing the interface to crash and throw up random data (see [[#Logs: Gatehouse 24|Gatehouse logs]]. Direction is important in causing these, but some commands seem more "crash-friendly" than others. Working out which ones can cause loops ''may'' help in finding how [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/07/rage_against_th.html Caine broke the system]] a second way.<br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />

<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

Well, hello again.<br />
<br />
<sigh> I hate talking into these things.<br />
Hang on, I think someone's coming! <rustly noises><br />
No, no, it's alright.<br />
<br />
Right, okay... that packing case... it's disappeared.<br />
<br />
I don't know when it went, but it's not there today. So I.. I think I saw it a couple of days ago... that was the last time. Not much help, I know.<br />
<br />
I gave the case a bit of a kick the other day, to see if I could hear what was in there. I think it was tech stuff.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm meeting up with a guy for lunch tomorrow, and he's kind of a hardware freak. So I might try kind of nudging him, see if there's anything going on. He's a nice guy, so he might be helpful.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to do anything, y'know, just to get information for you. It's bad enough sneaking around like this. I can't just talk to people anymore, it's like I'm always interrogating them, even my friends. I can't look at anything without suspecting it.<br />
It'll do my head in.<br />

I saw my dad the other day so, thanks, he told me about everything and... Well I’m, I’m just glad there’s a point to all this; he’s... he’s looking much better... and I suppose that means that you’re happy with how I’m doing, so I’m... probably on the right track?<br />
<br />
I’ve been keeping an eye on the deliveries here, um I don’t think there has been anything funny for weeks now, but , you’know, I ''might'' have missed something. There ''have'' been a couple of odd projects coming across my desk though. Nobody ever gets the full picture here, but I’ve noticed some themes in the encryption work I’m doing, for a start it’s pretty advanced, everything’s been marked for ‘quantum’ (which isn’t perfect yet, but it’s about the highest level we’ve got). But <sigh> there are a couple of words that keep coming up too and... well, I <stumbles over words> I don’t have a clear picture of what they mean, but maybe they’ll mean something to you, the sender or the recipient is always called ‘[[Viendenbourg]]’ and there are all these references to ‘the material’ and how much of it they’ve got. I know I’m not seeing all the messages, they spread the work around – you’know, security - but only a few of us can handle quantum encryption so I’m seeing a ''fair chunk'' of the correspondence. It just seems odd it needs to be so secret, so... that’s why I mention it.<br />
<br />
I’d better go soon, there’s umm, a protest outside the museum and it will take me ages to get past them. Anyway... I can’t think of anything else... nope that’s it.<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
[[Robert_Drake|Someone in my block]] got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor_Primer&diff=13751Backdoor Primer2006-07-07T23:25:31Z<p>Jbd: /* Further Research */</p>
<hr />
<div>==Introduction==<br />
<br />
Lots of good work has been done already with the crypto department backdoor. However, there may still be some people who are somewhat confused by how it works. There are also certainly further things we need to do with it, and so this guide is an attempt to get more people to the point where they can use it and, hopefully, break it too. The information presented is as accurate as possible at the time of writing, but may well be subject to change.<br />
<br />
So, what is it? The backdoor is a "basic" interface that lets you connect to the crypto departments files. By entering different "configurations" (i.e. combinations of commands) into the 5-by-5 grid, you can navigate around these files and gain access to some of them.<br />
<br />
So how does it work then? Well, there are 2 main things (for now - see "Further Research" below) to understand in order to use it properly. Firstly, how you place commands in the grid to get them to run properly, in the order you want. And secondly, how files are navigated to using the commands available.<br />
<br />
==Placing Commands==<br />
<br />
First up, a quick convention. In this document, I'll refer to grid squares in an X, Y fashion, starting in the top-left corner. Hence, the top-left corner is (1,1), the top-right corner is (5,1) and the bottom-left corner is (1,5). <br />
<br />
Commands are processed one by one, moving through the grid as they do so, starting with the command highest up in the ''left-most'' column - i.e. a command in the top-left corner will be run before anything else, but if there isn't one there, the command in (1,2) will go first - moving downwards until a command is found. However, the path taken through the grid after that depends on what commands are used - each command goes in a different direction. For instance, usually a SWITCH command will then move in a south-east direction.<br />
<br />
However, there are times when a command cannot move in the direction it would "like" to - either because it would go off the edge of the grid, or because it would go onto a square that has already been "processed", i.e. moved through. (Note, however, that this is not ''always'' the case, and further research needs to be done into this - see below.) When a command cannot go in a particular direction, it will usually try a second direction. If that one can't be moved to (for the same reasons) then a third, and a fourth, and so on until either it finds a new command to move to, or it runs out of directions to try. Note that not all commands will attempt to move in all 8 directions - e.g. some only move south-east, or fail.<br />
<br />
Handy Tip: You can find out which grid space is the next in the sequence by using the RUN command. Normally, you can put RUN anywhere in the grid and if the grid is incomplete, it will give you an "Invalid Command Grid" error. However, this error changes if you place the RUN command in the square that's next in the path. For example, placing a MOUNT command (which moves south-east) in the top-left corner and then placing RUN at (2,2) changes the error to "No area has been accessed".<br />
<br />
As far as I've been able to work out, the list of directions that each command tries to move to, in order, is roughly as follows (with some unconfirmed directions in brackets):<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
MOUNT: SE (this may be all - certainly doesn't go NW/N/NE)<br />
ZONE: W, ?, ... (Always tries to W first, but sometimes then tries N, and sometimes tries S.)<br />
SWITCH: SE, ...<br />
ROTATE: N, NE, E, SE, S<br />
COPY: S, ...<br />
FLUSH: S, ...<br />
PWRITE: E, S, ...<br />
POPEN: E, S, ...<br />
PREAD: W, S, ...<br />
CACHE: No direction, execution ends<br />
END: E, ...<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Where you see "...", things are very unconfirmed. However, the initial directions are enough to put together most combos that you want and should suffice to start with.<br />
<br />
To run the commands in your grid, either drop the RUN command anywhere into the grid, or if there's one in there already, simply click on it.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
If the grid looks like this...<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
-- -- -- -- --<br />
MO CA -- -- --<br />
RO ZO -- -- --<br />
-- -- -- RU --<br />
-- -- -- -- --<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
...then the order in which things happen, and the direction each command moves in, is...<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Mount (-se-) Zone (-w-) Rotate (-can't go n, so goes ne-) Cache<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
N.B. The position of RUN is purely arbitrary. You should receive the message about "the Master", after which you can press the "Reboot Command Interface" button to reset everything. Also note that you can't see what commands you had in the grid once a file is output, so it's a good idea to remember/note it down somehow.<br />
<br />
==File Navigation==<br />
<br />
So now you can put commands together, how do you get to files? What's all this talk of "3 ZONEs" and "4 ROTATEs"?<br />
<br />
The filesystem you're accessing via the interface is actually 3-dimensional in a sense. This means you can navigate to files by moving along 1 of these 3 axes. If you reach the end of an axis, you loop round to the start of it. The best way of picturing this, I find, is to look at the [[Backdoor#Command.2FFile_Mapping|File Mapping tables]], but I'll offer a different analogy below.<br />
<br />
The 3 main commands used to navigate to a file are ZONE, SWITCH and ROTATE. You must use at least 1 ZONE command and 1 ROTATE command. Furthermore, in order to access files, you also need to use a MOUNT command somewhere. The order is mostly not important (e.g. ZONE-MOUNT is the same as MOUNT-ZONE), although see the notes below for more speculation on this.<br />
<br />
If you're not comfortable with imagining things in 3D, then you can think of it like a series of bookcases. You have 4 bookcases, and you can move on to the next one in the sequence using a ZONE command. Each of these bookcases has 5 shelves, and you can move ''down'' (not up) to the next shelf using a SWITCH command - when you hit the floor, you just start again at the top bookshelf. Finally, each shelf has a number of books on it (which are the files), and you can move along (to the right, not the left) to the next book by using the ROTATE command - when you run out of books on a shelf, you just jump back to the beginning of the shelf. Also, when you switch to a new bookcase, you keep the position (in terms of shelf and book) you were in at the last one.<br />
<br />
Lastly, it seems that we don't have "direct" access to files. But in order to show the file that we're currently on, you can use the CACHE command. This must be the last command in the sequence and, if the file is readable, it will be displayed when the commands are run. (If it's not readable, you'll see an error.)<br />
<br />
===Using POPEN and PREAD===<br />
<br />
We have discovered some extra files in the file system by using POPEN and PREAD before doing a CACHE command. The exact effects of these commands aren't clear (although they may be similar to functions of the same name in Linux, which invoke a new command shell...). However, the [[Backdoor#Part:_Klebold_plates_.28ref:_122C76-3S.29|Klebold Plates]] file was found using this method.<br />
<br />
Further research is being done in this area, but all help is gratefully welcomed ;)<br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
<br />
I'm speculating that if you do a ROTATE before a MOUNT and a ZONE, then the system doesn't know how many files there are in the current "shelf", and so may not be able to move to the next file. Hence, Mount-Zone-Rotate-Rotate ''may'' be different to Rotate-Mount-Zone-Rotate. This is currently unconfirmed, but possibly worth noting/remembering.<br />
<br />
===Using END===<br />
<br />
If you try the configuration "END END END -- --" (on any line, with RUN anywhere) then you'll get the error message "All login sessions ended. File server inactive." It seems that, on the initial start up of the interface, you have been logged in through a series of 3 servers or accounts, each "inside" the previous one. By doing 3 ENDs, you log out of all of them. But by doing only 1 or 2, you get a different filesystem, or set of bookcases.<br />
<br />
So far, no files have been found after doing only 1 END command. However, the audio files and some text files have been found after logging out twice - i.e. doing 2 ENDs. The files available change periodically - sometimes 2 at a time are available (using 2 ROTATEs), sometimes only 1. [[Backdoor#Command.2FFile_Mapping|A list of these files and their access times]] is currently being compiled.<br />
<br />
==Other Commands==<br />
<br />
We're still not sure what these really do:<br />
<br />
* COPY<br />
* FLUSH<br />
* PWRITE<br />
<br />
==Breaking the System==<br />

Caine has identified [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/07/rage_against_th.html a couple of bugs in the system], although we only know what one of them is:<br />

===Infinite Loops===<br />
<br />
It is possible to cause the path of commands to loop back on itself, entering into a loop that never finishes. When this happens, the interface starts going all glitchy, and some random data - usually log files of conversation excerpts - is displayed.<br />
<br />
At present, we're not sure why some combinations of commands loop, while others don't - this may or may not be useful in working out the ''other'' way Caine found of breaking the system, but is being [[Backdoor#Infinite_Loops|documented a little bit]] anyway. It seems that some commands - or combinations of commands - don't bother to check if the next square in the path has already been processed or not.<br />
<br />
==Further Research==<br />
<br />
So what needs to be done now?<br />
<br />
* As mentioned above, Caine broke the system a second time to produce something that looks like it's from a network configuration file. There must be another way to make the system crash.<br />
* Determining when the changing files appear is a nice-to-have, but all (I think) are documented on the [[Backdoor]] page, and so this isn't a priority.<br />
* Working out what the other commands do may help to manipulate the system - e.g. if we can use PWRITE to ''change'' things...<br />

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 7 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
For those new to it, or just generally confused, '''check out the [[Backdoor Primer]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (but then see grid below, as seems to vary)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, commands are '''time-sensitive'''. The same command path may yield a different result depending on the time it operates. This realization came after most of the command path additions within this entry. Therefore, great care must be taken to not only log the times that one accesses any bit of information using a specific command code, but to also go back and check for new paths especially since it seems some Audio files are only accesible using a single command code at a specific time.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

The following tables are for the userspace files once 2 END commands have been introduced. So far, it looks like there's only 1 zone, no switches, and either 1 or 2 rotates depending on the time. The files available switch every 3-4 hours, and the table below assumes they switch on the hour but this may be wrong. Times are all in UTC/GMT.<br />

===Infinite Loops===<br />
<br />
Certain configurations get into endless loops, causing the interface to crash and throw up random data (see [[#Logs: Gatehouse 24|Gatehouse logs]]. Direction is important in causing these, but some commands seem more "crash-friendly" than others. Working out which ones can cause loops ''may'' help in finding how [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/07/rage_against_th.html Caine broke the system]] a second way.<br />
<br />
Configurations below are listed in execution order, not grid order, with brackets around the part that should be looping. All start in r1c1.<br />

Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

Well, hello again.<br />
<br />
<sigh> I hate talking into these things.<br />
Hang on, I think someone's coming! <rustly noises><br />
No, no, it's alright.<br />
<br />
Right, okay... that packing case... it's disappeared.<br />
<br />
I don't know when it went, but it's not there today. So I.. I think I saw it a couple of days ago... that was the last time. Not much help, I know.<br />
<br />
I gave the case a bit of a kick the other day, to see if I could hear what was in there. I think it was tech stuff.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm meeting up with a guy for lunch tomorrow, and he's kind of a hardware freak. So I might try kind of nudging him, see if there's anything going on. He's a nice guy, so he might be helpful.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to do anything, y'know, just to get information for you. It's bad enough sneaking around like this. I can't just talk to people anymore, it's like I'm always interrogating them, even my friends. I can't look at anything without suspecting it.<br />
It'll do my head in.<br />
<br />
<sigh> You'd better look after your side of the bargain.<br />
It's the only reason i'm doing this.<br />

I saw my dad the other day so, thanks, he told me about everything and... Well I’m, I’m just glad there’s a point to all this; he’s... he’s looking much better... and I suppose that means that you’re happy with how I’m doing, so I’m... probably on the right track?<br />
<br />
I’ve been keeping an eye on the deliveries here, um I don’t think there has been anything funny for weeks now, but , you’know, I ''might'' have missed something. There ''have'' been a couple of odd projects coming across my desk though. Nobody ever gets the full picture here, but I’ve noticed some themes in the encryption work I’m doing, for a start it’s pretty advanced, everything’s been marked for ‘quantum’ (which isn’t perfect yet, but it’s about the highest level we’ve got). But <sigh> there are a couple of words that keep coming up too and... well, I <stumbles over words> I don’t have a clear picture of what they mean, but maybe they’ll mean something to you, the sender or the recipient is always called ‘[[Viendenbourg]]’ and there are all these references to ‘the material’ and how much of it they’ve got. I know I’m not seeing all the messages, they spread the work around – you’know, security - but only a few of us can handle quantum encryption so I’m seeing a ''fair chunk'' of the correspondence. It just seems odd it needs to be so secret, so... that’s why I mention it.<br />
<br />
I’d better go soon, there’s umm, a protest outside the museum and it will take me ages to get past them. Anyway... I can’t think of anything else... nope that’s it.<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
[[Robert_Drake|Someone in my block]] got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13748Backdoor2006-07-07T21:53:43Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 7 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
For those new to it, or just generally confused, '''check out the [[Backdoor Primer]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (but then see grid below, as seems to vary)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, commands are '''time-sensitive'''. The same command path may yield a different result depending on the time it operates. This realization came after most of the command path additions within this entry. Therefore, great care must be taken to not only log the times that one accesses any bit of information using a specific command code, but to also go back and check for new paths especially since it seems some Audio files are only accesible using a single command code at a specific time.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Infinite Loops===<br />
<br />
Certain configurations get into endless loops, causing the interface to crash and throw up random data (see [[#Logs: Gatehouse 24|Gatehouse logs]]. Direction is important in causing these, but some commands seem more "crash-friendly" than others. Working out which ones can cause loops ''may'' help in finding how [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/07/rage_against_th.html Caine broke the system]] a second way.<br />
<br />
Configurations below are listed in execution order, not grid order, with brackets around the part that should be looping. All start in r1c1.<br />
<br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

<br />
To make this more precise, let Krsa be an RSA generator with associated security<br />
parameter k and let Keys be the set of all moduli N that have positive probability<br />
to be outbut by Krsa. Let Hash be a family of functions whose key-space is Keys and<br />
such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />
<br />
-> Z<br />
<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />
Algorithm Sign N,p,qp,d (M)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
x <- yd mod N<br />
Return x<br />
Algorithm VGn,e (M,x)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
y<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

Well, hello again.<br />
<br />
<sigh> I hate talking into these things.<br />
Hang on, I think someone's coming! <rustly noises><br />
No, no, it's alright.<br />
<br />
Right, okay... that packing case... it's disappeared.<br />
<br />
I don't know when it went, but it's not there today. So I.. I think I saw it a couple of days ago... that was the last time. Not much help, I know.<br />
<br />
I gave the case a bit of a kick the other day, to see if I could hear what was in there. I think it was tech stuff.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm meeting up with a guy for lunch tomorrow, and he's kind of a hardware freak. So I might try kind of nudging him, see if there's anything going on. He's a nice guy, so he might be helpful.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to do anything, y'know, just to get information for you. It's bad enough sneaking around like this. I can't just talk to people anymore, it's like I'm always interrogating them, even my friends. I can't look at anything without suspecting it.<br />
It'll do my head in.<br />
<br />

I saw my dad the other day so, thanks, he told me about everything and... Well I’m, I’m just glad there’s a point to all this; he’s... he’s looking much better... and I suppose that means that you’re happy with how I’m doing, so I’m... probably on the right track?<br />
<br />
I’ve been keeping an eye on the deliveries here, um I don’t think there has been anything funny for weeks now, but , you’know, I ''might'' have missed something. There ''have'' been a couple of odd projects coming across my desk though. Nobody ever gets the full picture here, but I’ve noticed some themes in the encryption work I’m doing, for a start it’s pretty advanced, everything’s been marked for ‘quantum’ (which isn’t perfect yet, but it’s about the highest level we’ve got). But <sigh> there are a couple of words that keep coming up too and... well, I <stumbles over words> I don’t have a clear picture of what they mean, but maybe they’ll mean something to you, the sender or the recipient is always called ‘[[Viendenbourg]]’ and there are all these references to ‘the material’ and how much of it they’ve got. I know I’m not seeing all the messages, they spread the work around – you’know, security - but only a few of us can handle quantum encryption so I’m seeing a ''fair chunk'' of the correspondence. It just seems odd it needs to be so secret, so... that’s why I mention it.<br />
<br />
I’d better go soon, there’s umm, a protest outside the museum and it will take me ages to get past them. Anyway... I can’t think of anything else... nope that’s it.<br />

Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=File:Backdoor_message29.JPG&diff=13747File:Backdoor message29.JPG2006-07-07T21:26:07Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 7 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
For those new to it, or just generally confused, '''check out the [[Backdoor Primer]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (but then see grid below, as seems to vary)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, commands are '''time-sensitive'''. The same command path may yield a different result depending on the time it operates. This realization came after most of the command path additions within this entry. Therefore, great care must be taken to not only log the times that one accesses any bit of information using a specific command code, but to also go back and check for new paths especially since it seems some Audio files are only accesible using a single command code at a specific time.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

The following tables are for the userspace files once 2 END commands have been introduced. So far, it looks like there's only 1 zone, no switches, and either 1 or 2 rotates depending on the time.

===Infinite Loops===<br />
<br />
Certain configurations get into endless loops, causing the interface to crash and throw up random data (see [[#Logs: Gatehouse 24|Gatehouse logs]]. Direction is important in causing these, but some commands seem more "crash-friendly" than others. Working out which ones can cause loops ''may'' help in finding how [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/07/rage_against_th.html Caine broke the system]] a second way.<br />
<br />
Configurations below are listed in execution order, not grid order, with brackets around the part that should be looping. All start in r1c1.<br />

Loops that crash (yay):<br />

Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

<pre>Notes:<br />
<br />
To make this more precise, let Krsa be an RSA generator with associated security<br />
parameter k and let Keys be the set of all moduli N that have positive probability<br />
to be outbut by Krsa. Let Hash be a family of functions whose key-space is Keys and<br />
such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />
<br />
-> Z<br />
<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />
Algorithm Sign N,p,qp,d (M)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
x <- yd mod N<br />
Return x<br />
Algorithm VGn,e (M,x)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
y<br />
<br />
<- xe mod N<br />
If y=y<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

Well, hello again.<br />
<br />
<sigh> I hate talking into these things.<br />
Hang on, I think someone's coming! <rustly noises><br />
No, no, it's alright.<br />
<br />
Right, okay... that packing case... it's disappeared.<br />
<br />
I don't know when it went, but it's not there today. So I.. I think I saw it a couple of days ago... that was the last time. Not much help, I know.<br />
<br />
I gave the case a bit of a kick the other day, to see if I could hear what was in there. I think it was tech stuff.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm meeting up with a guy for lunch tomorrow, and he's kind of a hardware freak. So I might try kind of nudging him, see if there's anything going on. He's a nice guy, so he might be helpful.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to do anything, y'know, just to get information for you. It's bad enough sneaking around like this. I can't just talk to people anymore, it's like I'm always interrogating them, even my friends. I can't look at anything without suspecting it.<br />
It'll do my head in.<br />

I saw my dad the other day so, thanks, he told me about everything and... Well I’m, I’m just glad there’s a point to all this; he’s... he’s looking much better... and I suppose that means that you’re happy with how I’m doing, so I’m... probably on the right track?<br />
<br />
I’ve been keeping an eye on the deliveries here, um I don’t think there has been anything funny for weeks now, but , you’know, I ''might'' have missed something. There ''have'' been a couple of odd projects coming across my desk though. Nobody ever gets the full picture here, but I’ve noticed some themes in the encryption work I’m doing, for a start it’s pretty advanced, everything’s been marked for ‘quantum’ (which isn’t perfect yet, but it’s about the highest level we’ve got). But <sigh> there are a couple of words that keep coming up too and... well, I <stumbles over words> I don’t have a clear picture of what they mean, but maybe they’ll mean something to you, the sender or the recipient is always called ‘[[Viendenbourg]]’ and there are all these references to ‘the material’ and how much of it they’ve got. I know I’m not seeing all the messages, they spread the work around – you’know, security - but only a few of us can handle quantum encryption so I’m seeing a ''fair chunk'' of the correspondence. It just seems odd it needs to be so secret, so... that’s why I mention it.<br />
<br />
I’d better go soon, there’s umm, a protest outside the museum and it will take me ages to get past them. Anyway... I can’t think of anything else... nope that’s it.<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
[[Robert_Drake|Someone in my block]] got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />

Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13688Backdoor2006-07-05T22:23:35Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

<pre>Approached the Master today about begining on an updated and <br />
revised edition. V. pleased to discover he considers the idea <br />
warmly. He actually said, 'My ideas are in good hands with you, <br />
and you will of course receive full credit for the work.' <br />
Somehow I expected more of a struggle. V. gracious indeed. He's <br />
not quite the glory-hog SOME people have made him out to be, I <br />
guess.</pre><br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

To make this more precise, let Krsa be an RSA generator with associated security<br />
parameter k and let Keys be the set of all moduli N that have positive probability<br />
to be outbut by Krsa. Let Hash be a family of functions whose key-space is Keys and<br />
such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />
<br />
-> Z<br />
<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />
Algorithm Sign N,p,qp,d (M)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
x <- yd mod N<br />
Return x<br />
Algorithm VGn,e (M,x)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
[[Robert_Drake|Someone in my block]] got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

I saw my dad the other day so, thanks, he told me about everything and... Well I’m, I’m just glad there’s a point to all this; he’s... he’s looking much better... and I suppose that means that you’re happy with how I’m doing, so I’m... probably on the right track?<br />
<br />
I’ve been keeping an eye on the deliveries here, um I don’t think there has been anything funny for weeks now, but , you’know, I ''might'' have missed something. There ''have'' been a couple of odd projects coming across my desk though. Nobody ever gets the full picture here, but I’ve noticed some themes in the encryption work I’m doing, for a start it’s pretty advanced, everything’s been marked for ‘quantum’ (which isn’t perfect yet, but it’s about the highest level we’ve got). But <sigh> there are a couple of words that keep coming up too and... well, I <stumbles over words> I don’t have a clear picture of what they mean, but maybe they’ll mean something to you, the sender or the recipient is always called ‘[[Viendenbourg]]’ and there are all these references to ‘the material’ and how much of it they’ve got. I know I’m not seeing all the messages, they spread the work around – you’know, security - but only a few of us can handle quantum encryption so I’m seeing a ''fair chunk'' of the correspondence. It just seems odd it needs to be so secret, so... that’s why I mention it.<br />
<br />
I’d better go soon, there’s umm, a protest outside the museum and it will take me ages to get past them. Anyway... I can’t think of anything else... nope that’s it.<br />

Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13685Backdoor2006-07-05T22:12:51Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

to be outbut by Krsa. Let Hash be a family of functions whose key-space is Keys and<br />
such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />
<br />

<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />
Algorithm Sign N,p,qp,d (M)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
x <- yd mod N<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
[[Robert_Drake|Someone in my block]] got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

Look this is getting seriously dodgy.<br />
<br />
Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />
<br />
The whole place is shutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />
<br />
Well, happy holidays.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=File:Backdoor_message24.JPG&diff=13684File:Backdoor message24.JPG2006-07-05T22:08:31Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<hr />
<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
[[Robert_Drake|Someone in my block]] got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

Look this is getting seriously dodgy.<br />
<br />
Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />
<br />
The whole place is shutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />
<br />
Well, happy holidays.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13679Backdoor2006-07-05T21:26:23Z<p>Jbd: /* Configuration */</p>
<hr />
<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />

<br />
To make this more precise, let Krsa be an RSA generator with associated security<br />
parameter k and let Keys be the set of all moduli N that have positive probability<br />
to be outbut by Krsa. Let Hash be a family of functions whose key-space is Keys and<br />
such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />
<br />
-> Z<br />
<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />
Algorithm Sign N,p,qp,d (M)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
x <- yd mod N<br />
Return x<br />
Algorithm VGn,e (M,x)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
y<br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

<br />
Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />
<br />
The whole place is shutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />
<br />
Well, happy holidays.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13674Backdoor2006-07-05T21:01:42Z<p>Jbd: /* Config 29: Audio */</p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

He's not quite the glory-hog SOME people have made him out to be, I guess.</blockquote><br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13673Backdoor2006-07-05T20:57:38Z<p>Jbd: /* Config 29: Audio */</p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />

The whole place is hutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13671Backdoor2006-07-05T20:02:33Z<p>Jbd: /* Config 29: Audio */</p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />

The whole place is hutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13670Backdoor2006-07-05T19:59:11Z<p>Jbd: /* Config 29: Audio */</p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

He actually said, 'My ideas are in good hands with you, and you will of course receive full credit for the work.' Somehow I expected more of a struggle. V. gracious indeed. He's not quite the glory-hog SOME people have made him out to be, I guess.</blockquote><br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

Look this is getting seriously dodgy.<br />
<br />
Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />
<br />
The whole place is hutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />

===== Transcription =====<br />
So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13669Backdoor2006-07-05T19:57:02Z<p>Jbd: /* Config 27: Audio (14th of July) */</p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />

And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13668Backdoor2006-07-05T19:53:45Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />

<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />
<br />
The whole place is hutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13664Backdoor2006-07-05T19:45:09Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

He's not quite the glory-hog SOME people have made him out to be, I guess.</blockquote><br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

Look this is getting seriously dodgy.<br />
<br />
Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />
<br />
The whole place is hutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />

===== Transcription =====<br />
So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13662Backdoor2006-07-05T19:38:22Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />

Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

Look this is getting seriously dodgy.<br />

Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />

The whole place is hutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />

So you've got what you wanted.<br />
<br />
It's Thursday the, what ... 14th of July? And here's your ''report''.<br />
<br />
I don't know what you're expecting to hear but ... I don't know what's going on; it might be nothing. I ... I could be getting completely paranoid as well. I mean with you lot ''snooping'' round I'm already on eggshells. <br />
<br />
<swallow> [[Camden Porta|Camden]] keeps watching me across the office - pretty sure he doesn't trust me.<br />
<br />
I might be imagining it all I .. I dunno. Anyway, today I think I saw something odd. And it - and it might not be anything but if it ''keeps you happy'' here it is.<br />
<br />
We got this delivery - we get deliveries all the time, you know hardware upgrades and stuff, but there was an ''extra'' item. It wasn't on the manifest. I only noticed it cos I was nearest the door when it all arrived, so I ended up signing for it.<br />
<br />
So there was ... there was this packing case and, now I ''don't'' know what's in there. And it's locked in the stores now so I ... I can't get to it even if you want me to - it's about 5 feet high, 3 feet across and quite slim, like ... a painting or something.<br />
<br />
So is this an art-theft thing? Is that what you're after - some kind of ''fence'' operation? And if you told me what to look for I might have a better chance of helping.<br />
<br />
<tsk> Well - that's it. I'll ... I'll let you know if anything else happens.<br />

He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts with the highest command in the left-hand column. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space and which spaces have been used before. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. However, if the next square has already been "used", the next direction (listed in brackets) is attempted. If this square has already been used, then the next in the list will be tried, and so on and so on (although N.B. the list of these below is far from complete). Some exceptions to this may occur - possibly certain combinations of commands may not run this check?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
mount - se<br />
zone - west (north, east, northeast, ...)<br />
switch - se (...) (''Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?'')<br />
rotate - north (northeast, then in clockwise order?)<br />
copy - south (...)<br />
flush - south (southeast, ...)<br />
pwrite - e (south, ...)<br />
popen - east (south, ...)<br />
pread - west (south, ...)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
(This means the grids below are dependent on what commands were used to reach a particular square... But I'll leave it here for the time being -- Scribe.)<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out, will you?<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />
<br />
Don't ever tell my dad about this.<br />

Last week, [[Lucas Bazeries|Lucas]] completely cut me out of a meeting, and [[Mansoor]] has been ripping into my white paper and...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's not professional, it's personal. They know what we're up to, I swear.<br />
No I don't, I don't know anything. I'm losing it. Please, I can't be that important. You could get someone else.<br />

The whole place is hutting down over [[Solstice Gambol|Solstice]]. You...you could get someone to break in here and I don't know...isotope tag one of the packages and track it you probably do that all the time...what do you need me for?<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=Backdoor&diff=13649Backdoor2006-07-05T15:55:29Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts in upper left corner. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. Some exceptions may occur.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
popen - east<br />
pread - west<br />
mount - se<br />
pwrite - e<br />
switch - se (Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?)<br />
copy - s<br />
flush - s<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
All of these can go funny in certain circumstances, especially when next to an edge where the next command would normally jump off the grid.<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

If he dies, you realise that's it. You can do what you like to me - I don't care about '''me'''.<br />
<br />
Someone in my block got beaten up the other night. He isn't a violent guy; he's a calligrapher. But he just got attacked well f ... nothing basically. Well I think it was random, but I don't think I believe in random any more.<br />
Was it you? <br />
<br />
Are you trying to scare me? You don't need to so just ... stop it.<br />
<br />
I did what you wanted anyway. Last night ... <br />
<br />
I worked until I was the only one left in the office. Must have been about 11 when this delivery guy turned up with a trolley full of boxes. And he ''did'' look a bit surprised to see me there. <br />
These two big boxes were for us, so I signed for them and went next door to grab Angelica so she could open the stores.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the boxes were really heavy, so the delivery guy wheeled the trolley into the stores and dropped them off there. Then I saw him slide one of our cases under the trolley; when he moved the trolley, it wasn't there anymore. It was quick but I'm sure he swiped something. Then he left, and Angelica locked the door.<br />
<br />
I would have followed him ... well, probably ... but Angelica started talking to me about my research and I couldn't just rush off. I saw him go to the end of the corridor ... to the elevator, and he hit the down button. There's only the basement under us, but I think there might be passageways for internal mail and things. I honestly don't know. And I'm not going down there in the middle of the night, so don't ask. No matter what you threaten me with.<br />
<br />
Ummm the delivery guy was about 6 foot, white, short dark hair. I haven't seen him before.<br />

So this is it. Can't say I'm not glad it's over but, well, one day maybe you can tell me what this was all about. <br />
I mean, I read the papers - police raids on subway stations - sounds like your kind of thing.<br />
<br />
We've had a few more deliveries come in since January, but still no sign of the mystery man. It's been a different courier each time, and they've - they've all looked pretty innocent. The [[Viendenbourg]] messages are still going backwards and forwards.<br />
<br />
I appreciate what you've done for my dad, but ... I've done my bit. That's it. That was the deal. You can go digging around in the tunnels if you like but don't expect me to do any more of your dirty work. You told me to stop, so I'm stopping.<br />

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />

Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts in upper left corner. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. Some exceptions may occur.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
popen - east<br />
pread - west<br />
mount - se<br />
pwrite - e<br />
switch - se (Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?)<br />
copy - s<br />
flush - s<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
All of these can go funny in certain circumstances, especially when next to an edge where the next command would normally jump off the grid.<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbdhttps://perplexcitywiki.com/w/index.php?title=File:Backdoor_audio.mp3&diff=13620File:Backdoor audio.mp32006-07-05T02:07:29Z<p>Jbd: </p>

<div>==Summary==<br />
<br />
After discovering that [[V]] called someone at the [[Academy]]'s [[Crypto|Crypto Department]], [[Caine]] heads over to Crypto to investigate. He runs into his friend [[Neville Clark]], who is [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/dolor_sit_amet.html talkative], if obfuscating. The Cube Hunters entice Nev into sharing more information by giving him a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracker.html puzzle], designed by [[User:jbd|jbd]], to solve. Nev takes the bait, and gives us a [http://www.theoozezone.com/archives/2006/06/cracked_1.html backdoor] that leads to a gridded file system.<br />
<br />
Dragging the commands onto the grid to create various configurations yields a series of log snippets. Some of the logs resemble the [[Perplex City Errorlogs]] that were found before the [[puzzle cards]] were released. <br />
<br />
The interface can be accessed at the following URL:<br />
<br />
http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/commandinterface/index.html<br />
<br />
As of 17:08, 3 July 2006 (PDT), the puzzle is still being worked on. Join us in [irc://irc.chat-solutions.org:6667/#syzygy #syzygy], or see the discussion on the [[Talk:Backdoor|Talk]] page or at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15627&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Unforums].<br />
<br />
==Commands==<br />
<br />
Through the combined work of '''jalapenodude''', '''pelrun''', and [[User:jbd|jbd]], #syzygy has determined that the commands appear to work as follows.<br />
<br />
The program pointer starts in upper left corner. It moves through the grid one space at a time, as determined by the command in that space. <br />
<br />
Generally, the pointer moves in the following directions when it encounters each command. Some exceptions may occur.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
popen - east<br />
pread - west<br />
mount - se<br />
pwrite - e<br />
switch - se (Are you sure, goes NE on config 5 below?)<br />
copy - s<br />
flush - s<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
All of these can go funny in certain circumstances, especially when next to an edge where the next command would normally jump off the grid.<br />
<br />
'''rotate''' does something different depending on where it is executed, but also (sometimes?) where it comes from. Here are some directions that occur:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e e s<br />
s ne n n s<br />
e n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n s<br />
ne n ne n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
However, it is possible for r3c5 to go north if entered from the west, for example.<br />
<br />
The same goes for '''zone''':<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
e e e w s<br />
s w w n n<br />
e e e n w<br />
n w w n n<br />
n w w n n<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
'''End''' ends execution whenever it gets hit on a specific error message. It is very good for testing where the code is going. '''Cache''' seems to only work as an end point. '''Run''' can go anywhere that the program pointer isn't reaching.<br />
<br />
A '''configuration''' is a set of commands placed on the grid so that the grid is valid and a log file is retrieved. The '''command path''' is the actual path that the pointer takes through the grid configuration. Different configurations may break down into the same command path. <br />
<br />
Configurations and command paths start with ZO-MO, and usually end with either CACHE or FLUSH.<br />
<br />
===Full Command Path List===<br />
<br />
The first two numbers are the resulting configuration, the letter after is the variation, and the string is the command path, with each instruction cut to two letters in length. The list is alphabetized based on operation name, as a reference service. Please be sure to also place them above with their respective results, and to sort them in properly when added.<br />

===Command/File Mapping===<br />
<br />
Other than the linked commands, we also get these two errors...<br />
<br />
unable: "Unable to access file"<br />
unread: "Unable to get read handle"<br />
<br />
The number of times the '''zone''', '''switch''', and '''rotate''' commands appears in a command path determines which file is displayed. <br />

FROM: MANSOOR H. <br />
<br />
Kiteway's programs are disrupting the entire department. Breeding hostility <br />
and distrust among amicable colleagues. The man doesn't belong here anymore, <br />
why can't he keep his damned pet projects in his own office? Crypto is mine <br />
now, not his. <br />
<br />
Well, here are the metrics to show he's not minding his own business. <br />
<br />
Number of times Kiteway has visited dept. offices this year: 78 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 129 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 23 <br />
<br />
Dept. suspicion level on the Howe-Panntonin Index: 8.8 <br />
<br />
And in 268: 7.3 <br />
<br />
And in 267: 4.5 <br />
<br />
Suspect the man has his own agenda and isn't sharing with the proper channels, <br />
for example me and you. Suspect he is subverting the time and resources of my <br />
faculty without consulting me ahead of time. Behaving as though he can't trust <br />
his own senior fellows. Ridiculous. How long must we put up with this childish <br />
rigmarole?</pre><br />

Notes:<br />
<br />
To make this more precise, let Krsa be an RSA generator with associated security<br />
parameter k and let Keys be the set of all moduli N that have positive probability<br />
to be outbut by Krsa. Let Hash be a family of functions whose key-space is Keys and<br />
such that HashN : { 0, 1}<br />
<br />
-> Z<br />
<br />
n for every N e Keys. Let DS = (Krsa, Sign, VG) be the digital signature scheme whose<br />
signing and verifying algorithms are as follows:<br />
Algorithm Sign N,p,qp,d (M)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
x <- yd mod N<br />
Return x<br />
Algorithm VGn,e (M,x)<br />
y <- Hashn (M)<br />
y<br />

==Historical Cryptographers==<br />
<br />
Some of the names mentioned in the logs share the names of historic cryptographers and mathematicians.<br />
<br />
; Bazeries : French military cryptographer, the 'pragmatic man of cryptology'. Famous for breaking the French 'Great Cipher' created in the 17th century.<br />
; Porta : Giovanni Battista Porta, Italian cryptographer and inventor of the Della Porta cipher - a polyalphabetic cipher with keyword.<br />
; Ashford : the name of the village in Kent where John Wallis, 17th century mathematician, was born. He wrote among other things, about the quadrature of curves, logic, theology and cryptography.<br />
; Carrick : the name of a Windows-based encryption application, designed by cryptographer Bruce Schneier.</div>Jbd
