 		[RING] Eli Hunt's computer - Shell.SWF dissassembled
I don't know how to read a dissassembled .SWF file.

But it might offer some clues to how the computer works for someone who does know how.

 		Just my 2 Cents
This is the disassembled bytecode other people also already worked with. For example, this is the code I originally found the "run graph" command with.

However, as far as I was able to analyse this piece of sourcecode, I came to the following conclusion:

    Since the data for the colored dots are read from an external file which we don't have access to, the code that renders those dots won't be of any help
    Since the data for the the command texts and interpretation is read from externals files which we don't have access to, the code that analyses our input won't be of any help either.
    Since the location of the pdf files is read from external files and triggered by codes which we retrieve from artifacts, there is no way of getting the information by hacking the flash file.


Last but not least, the disassembled byte code is very hard to read. There are decompilers out there that are able to produce more sophisticaded and readable code (like Sothink SWF Decompiler).

For instance look at the main class:

Code:
package com.secretsite.shell
{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;

    public class Main extends Sprite
    {
        private var facade:ApplicationFacade;

        public function Main()
        {
            addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, applicationStartupHandler);
            return;
        }

        private function applicationStartupHandler(param1:Event) : void
        {
            removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, applicationStartupHandler);
            facade = ApplicationFacade.getInstance();
            facade.startup(this);
            return;
        }
    }
}


However... first, there is no freeware or open source application that can do this and I certainly won't buy this software to hack into this code and second, as my comments above state, I believe it won't be any good anyway. Wink

For those who claim that I found the "run graph" command by poking around the code: Yes, that's perfectly right. But look at the blog posts of Ariadne. At one point she explains, SHE found this code and tells us how to use it as if nobody had found it before. This was planned.

The command would have been given to us anyway. It's just that we started to analyse the information there a little earlier than planned. Wink

 		I see - I was noticing that information I thought would be there wasn't very well defined. Well, try having a crack at this one.. I pulled this out of the disassembled swf, entered it into a browser and was directed to an XML error page.

If you view the source code of that error page, you'll see why the XML page can't be rendered. 1 for incryption, 0 for me. It's a big page of Hex.. I'm curious to know if the files you reference aren't identified or listed somewhere behind this hex code somewhere:

 		that is the file I have on tracking, so when it changes I'm noified immediately. that seems to be the file that updates when dots, the graph, or pdfs change in the omphaputer. it (the file and the url reference) is readily accessible in the browser's cache folder
