mags: do you like to play halo?
Windows Live Agent Template - English: What is "Halo"?
mags: im a level 30 in halo
Windows Live Agent Template - English: What's the big deal? I know a lot of people who are a level 30 in halo.
mags: the flood is weed
Windows Live Agent Template - English: The flood sure is.

What else do you have to say about the flood?

Ah, so the whole "artifact location" page has absolutely nothing to do with how Server 4 got opened? It's part of Server 5? Wow. How very strange.

Yikes! So I was monitoring (no pun) that page while somewhere else, people were snapping up keys like hotcakes at a Sunday morning church social?

Yes I know the IP was found by IP scanning. But there must be an ingame way to get to it.

Considering the password was to be determined by server 4 content, I would assume the IP is somewhere in the content as well.

EDIT: And no, nothing here has to do with server 5. The Artifact Location page was to be found after the opening of Server 4.

Converted the binary in the sample file into decimal and got these numbers:
138, 16, 180, 236 and 138 again.

Where did the "boomerang" password come from?

in the .swf file I think.

Well, okay, but how were we supposed to get the password, i.e., not by brute-forcing the Flash file? I feel like there's still a step missing in all this.

I'm pretty sure we got that password early. Whoops.

No it wasn't. I'll check my logs, but I'm pretty sure someone found the page before server 4 opened.

Edit: Whoops, double post. Someone merge this, please.

squetomee - read supposed to. The password was to be found by naming the nebula in the server 4 image.

I thought that was the bowtie nebula?

EDIT: Oh, that was its alternate name.
