    [edit]By the way, Quaunaut, it's not nice to call other forum members stupid. The first time I looked at your profile, I read the 1st line starting with "e" instead of what it is. Either my brain is thinking in so-called-leetspeak, or you're the one who messed up and have since changed it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> [/edit]

    I finally gave in and looked at Quaunaut's hex code to see if I was on the right track.
    I copy-pasted it into Notepad's find field, and it is nowhere in the source code I decompiled. I would've been trying these dummy values for a long, long time...

    NONE of the following are likely to work, so only try them if you've got way too much time on your hands.
    They're some of the many variable and function names written this way to purposely confuse. I'm only listing the ones that would fit, there's even more that wouldn't.

    Okay, I'm there where they enter the code.

    I entered in all 4 codes
    <span style='color:orange'><quaunaut's code here, edited out because we don't like having it here to spoil it for other people when they can go to his link for the code if they want it the easy way></span>
    Each time, it just jumbled the numbers again. I didn't get anywhere.

    What is the right code?

    I figured it out. I'm in. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    That is pretty cool.

    Though there is something i'm dying of curiousity...

    There is a section "Beyond Zion" which is locked. So beyond the 32 bit encription, beyond the 128 bit encription, there is MORE locked? I must know what is there!!!

    Btw, sorry for revealing any information in my previous post. I thought it wasn't giving anything away since it didn't work (so I thought). <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, I'm in, after messing around for a while and getting some help. This is pretty cool stuff.
  • sawcesawce Join Date: 2002-12-14 Member: 10787Members
    To get to the locked parts you need to do something other than find every single hidden item. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've found all 170, all locked parts are still locked. Anybody have any ideas?
  • MulletMullet Join Date: 2003-04-28 Member: 15910Members, Constellation
    Can someone please explain tome the difference between 32bit and 128bit? Why is it so much harder to "crack"? What is it?
  • BeRzErKeRBeRzErKeR Join Date: 2003-02-18 Member: 13691Members
    RRRRAAAAAARGH! I want to see what's in there behind the 128-bit thing, but the combination in Aea's link just gives me an error 500 page ("Internal server error" or something), and I don't even know what hexadecimal means so I have no way of finding out the correct combination except for reading it somewhere. Isn't this just great.

    uhh, i might not be the first to say it, but... nationa; banks currently use 512 bit encryption... local area banks use 256, and uhh yeah, 128 isn't anything new...



    128.... thats the encryption level i'm using for my wireless lan...
  • Anonymous_CowardAnonymous_Coward Join Date: 2003-08-15 Member: 19768Members
    You can't really call this encryption you know... It's just a little passkey thing that you enter to get a little more content. Almost nothing to do with real cryptography.

    I'm not going to check into this until later, so can anyone tell me if there is any sign of things from the matrix online game?

    256 bit encryption?

    A little more content? There's epic amounts of content back here. It took me ages to go through and find all the items without actually reading any of them.
  • Anonymous_CowardAnonymous_Coward Join Date: 2003-08-15 Member: 19768Members
    Yeah, I saw how much stuff there was. But still, no big woop. If you can get everything that is available from that section of the website from something like an artbook or sourcebook, then to me it is just 'a little more content'.

    Tell me that there is an MMORPG hidden under all that then I'll bite, no question.

    Same, maby you gota follow the pathy of the film to get into the hidden areas.

    OMG H4X!

    Ive done it and have the picture. Rar.




    Finding the 170 items that is.. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->


    How i get the damn 3 hidden places that are left over? I got the hallway place but nothing else.
  • AeaAea Join Date: 2003-10-09 Member: 21552Members
    I doubt there is something behind it for now :| Probably still working on it, anyway, the guide at my site should get you in <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • WindelkronWindelkron Join Date: 2002-04-11 Member: 419Members
    how'd you get into the hidden hallway area?
    I have 170/170 as well but I can't access the locked parts.
    pray tell.

    I HAVE IT I THINK. WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS.

    Haven't tried it yet. But ill try <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->


    Edit - Ok its not all the videos.


    If any-one else has done it. Tell me if theyve clicked on all the pictures that come up when you find stuff.

    It is really quite simple. 32-bit means it takes 32 correct switches (1 or 0) to have the correct code.
    128-bit means, you guessed it, 128 correct switches.

    What makes it so much harder to crack?

    Well, with 32 switches that can be one of two things, that makes 2 combinations per switch for 32 switches. So the number of possible combinations is doubled every switch. 2 * 2 * 2 * ... 2 * 2 or 2^32 possible combinations.

    A computer can cycle through all possible combinations at a little over a second (depending on the speed of your computer). But add another switch, and suddenly it takes twice as long (since you have to try 32 bit combinations twice.. once with the 33th being 0 and again with the 33th being 1). So use your imagination.

    Double 1 second 2^96 times (128 - 32). It gets very big very fast. 128 bit encription is very hard to crack. 256 bit encription isn't just twice as hard, because twice as hard would be 129 to put things in perspective.

    128 is notoriously hard to crack. Anything past 128 is impossible to crack in your life time with the tools available. Imagine 512 for a bank. Whew.

    Here's a bit of interesting information. There might be a working quantum computer in 10 years time. A breakthrough was made, and multiple states can be possible using levels of atoms. How much better is a quantum computer relative to a normal computer?

    Well, a computer that might take years to crack a 128 bit encryption can be overwhelmingly surpassed by a quantum computer at less than a second's worth of time in computation. How does it work? Well, it would no longer be exponentially climbing, but linearly climbing. This means 128 bit encryption would be half as hard to crack as 256 on a quantum computer, which is why it can do it so damn well.

    Long story short, when quantum computers are invented, don't have any money invested in a bank. No doubt, within the year of quantum computers being manufacturered, there will be someone to easily hack 512 bit encryption of all banks and deplete all the money.

    Scary? Don't fret. There is a race for quantum encryption. This is something not even quantum computers can break. It is only theoretical, but it uses the theory of relativity (an observer can change the state of data by viewing it, so an observer could never see the data the way it truly is). Which will win, I don't know, but lets just say I'm not going to hope for the best. Keep your money out of banks in 10 years or so. That's a good word to the wise.

    I can't get any of the LOCKED ones, so if anyone finds one, do tell us or at least give an accurate clue.

    Well sad to say its been on for 7 hours. Now im going to bed... Hope it saves and i hope you know what to do in the morning. Laters.

    you will also find that the more processors you have in your machine the faster it will decrypt, so if you have machines clustered theoretically you would be able to go through the encrtyption a lot faster then a normal pc, mainly due to the amount of cpus you can use.
