That's a very intersting piece of code there.. how did you get it out? I searched the swf for ages..

Obviously they're pro's and they hid the password, I tried to factor it back and got these letters as possible for the username bdhilpsux but using their factors to get 967612988160000 wasn't easy.. I also tried getting the password since that would give us the htm page but couldn't do it.. and I tried it small letters/digits/symbols .. but the fact that a char may be used more than once makes it harder..

If you have NO clue what i'm talking about and want to give it a shot here's how it works:

The characters of the password are multiplied using their ascii code to give us 17390546100000..

For example, abc is 97 *98* 99 = 941094

Now to get anything from 941094 we factor it to "2 2 3 3 7 7 11 97"
Try diving 941094 by everything from 97 to 122 (a to z) we get a,b,c as possible candidates.. we factor each

a (97) = 97 .. prime already
b (9Cool = 2 7 7
c (99) = 3 3 11

It would be harder if the pass was longer but eventually you can narrow them down by removing the obvious ones (for example 97 MUST be there)..

Now try doing the same for 17390546100000

The factors are 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 5 5 5 5 5 17 17 17 19 23

candidate characters are d,f,l,r,s,x,0,2,3,6,9,\,_ and a few other symbols which are unlikely.. find the password, add .htm to the end and that's our new page..

Good luck!

This is getting VERY interesting..

Apparently many people are way ahead of us. This is looking more and more like an ARG everyday. There are now two ingame sites, a couple of phone numbers that work, professional scripts, etc...

If you are interested follow through this thread and then this thread. There's a lot of info in there so don't miss anything.. These guys are good! And they don't even know what an ARG is, but they've been viewing source, decoding, programming, cracking, brute forcing, and it just reminds me of how The Beast started..

Otherwise we have to wait for two more days.. but I have a feeling this will need an "ARG: The Matrix" forum very soon..

Kanji

Check here, about a dozen posts down.

Believed to be the Kanji translation of Metacortechs.

Regenhardt/Rhinehart

About this Regenhardt/Rhinehart person...

If this is not supposed to be the same person the names are still quite similar...

Some thoughts about the meanings of the names (at this point this might not be very useful...)

german words:
regen - rain
hart - hard
rein - pure
there are also more possible meánings...
"Regen" is very close to "regent" which I dont know if it exists in english but in german and swedish it means ruler.
The pronounciation of hardt/hart is the same as heart.
Rhine is pronounced the same way as the word rein which means pure.

So now we got some possible meanings of the names like:

Hard rain
Hard ruler
Rain heart
Ruler heart
Pure heart
Pure hard

Confused

king david

More about the name...

Since these matrix movies are loaded with biblical references... Dave is off course a short for David, who is the great king of the old testament and the first king of zion. The longed for messiah in the years of Jesus (Neo in the matrix) was often thought of as a new David...

That UK one is interesting.

It's not a real trace. Check the source and you'll see

1) Matrix dialog
2) the program to make that other stuff show up

and

3) note the title of the page...

at www.metacortex.co.uk a trace program is said to be running and you always (?) get this number: 312)5550690. The head of site says "Get out Trinity!". Is this number taken from the films?

at www.metacortex.de you dont get any info, you're only supposed to enter your node and password. This site dont have any matrix related graphics.

Source code on the page says:

<HTML>
<TITLE>Get out, Trinity!</TITLE>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

// dialogue taken from
// The Matrix
// written and directed by Andy & Larry Wachowski
// www.whatisthematrix.com

// Cypher - Yeah?
// Trinity - is everything in place?
// Cypher - You weren't supposed to relieve me
// Trinity - I know, but I felt like taking your shift.
// Cypher - You like him don't you, you like watching him?
// Trinity - don't be ridiculous
// Cypher - We're going to kill him, you understand that?
// Trinity - Morpheus believes he is The One
// Cypher - Do you?
// Trinity - It doesn't matter what I believe
// Cypher - You don't, do you!
// Trinity - Did you hear that...?
// Cypher - Hear what?
// Trinity - Are you sure this line is clean?
// Cypher - Yeah, 'course I'm sure!
// Trinity - I better go...

// So...
// Trinity knows from the start that Cypher will betray
// Morpheus ?
