could these snippets be logs/reports regarding tweaking these devices for the use of other departments or persons?

[jbd]

I may have a systematic method for working these out.

Here is a completed chart for 'no zones'. The column gives the number of 'switch' commands in the sequence, the row gives the number of 'rotate' commands. (I mean no zones other than the one you need for zone-mount -- it's possible that one counts, in which case you'll likely max out at three extra zones. EDIT: I have now tested this. It appears once you have four (five if you're count the starting one) zones, the file system 'wraps around' and you're again dealing with the no zones area.)

[jbd]

3 zones (4 zones if you count the starting one)

This time I didn't even bother with checking no rotates. It seems to be a requirement to have at least one.

[SteveC]

I've filled in the blanks on that. Still obviously lots more to do as there must be combos involving all the other commands - see the wiki for updates (including two new screens I found this morning)

Cheers jbd - well done

Oh, and 1+4 zones appears to wrap back to 1+0, so that's all done I think..

[UPDATE]

[jbd]

I sent Caine the charts and my explanation. I'm not up for typing up all those messages we got right at the moment, though.

I just set up a really big infinite loop and got the logs thing again. I don't know if there's anything in infinite loops other than the logs. Maybe there's an alternate way to make it crash?

[SteveC]

Had a theory that the position of "run" in the infinite loops dictated which message you got. Seemed to work for

Z CO - - - / RO CO - - - / Z Z - - -

But yielded nothing new anyway..

The other theory is that the #echo... file was the start of inetd.conf on the machine. This is the file that decides what services a particular machine runs.. Thanks to MJ, we know crypto.perplexcityacademy.com runs the following:

22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
111/tcp open rpcbind
113/tcp open auth
135/tcp filtered msrpc
136/tcp filtered profile
137/tcp filtered netbios-ns
138/tcp filtered netbios-dgm
139/tcp filtered netbios-ssn
412/tcp filtered synoptics-trap
445/tcp filtered microsoft-ds
674/tcp open acap
993/tcp filtered imaps
995/tcp filtered pop3s
1720/tcp open H.323/Q.931
4444/tcp filtered krb524
6699/tcp filtered napster
7597/tcp filtered qaz
12345/tcp filtered NetBus
31337/tcp filtered Elite

Hey I think i got another one...

Mo Zo Ro Sw -- / -- Ro -- -- Po / -- -- Sw Zo Zo / -- -- --Sw -- / -- -- Ca Pr Zo /

Gives:

Looks like it's related to the stolen Reynolds Ionizers and Klebold Plates.


Maybe this confirms that the Department of Cryptology has the stolen equipment...

I was wondering if the Big Nothing was going to get a mention at any point. Also, I didn't realise that the waviness we discovered was 'breaking' it!!

Still plugging away. Trying to create a big infinite loop.

Throw off the shackles of the first Zone!!

It also looks like you can start a Mount at any point on the left hand side (except the bottom of course)

[Antony C]

I've made an interesting discovery...

I've made the grid

- Pw Po F -/M Ro Z F -/- Po Ro Co -/ - -Ro Z

Run anywhere except top left

Because it's a loop, the Operation in Progress appears and nothing happens.

What's even more interesting is that it continues to say Op in Progress after I have removed/shuffled the other commands.
Mebbe after inputting another command something juicy will happen... or not. I'll keep trying.
