Are those symbols/runes at the end Angerthas Moria (Cirth)? I tried translating them but some of them are slightly different...

Fun way to kill half an hour. Have to agree with the earlier comment about ssh not being able to power machines on. You'd need something like a DRAC card or something (although Dell wasn't around back then). I kept typing "exit" when I was done remoting to another computer and getting an error. It shouldn't be too hard to fix that... But like I said, overall, a good game. Thanks for making it!

This was an amazing game! I only got stuck once, on the stevedoor "hint." the rest were challenging, but I figured them out eventually on my own. Great job, and I can't wait for a sequel!

I like how at the beggining, the game gives you all of the information you need just to make you google every small piece of information it gave you. Lost nearly 30 minutes trying to figure out the chicago tribune thing.
I'm curious about something though, what the hell were you supposed to google at the harp hint? I just skiped it

Hrm - it didn't occur to me until later that the values in stevedoor's hint were actually character codes. Since I knew it was an in-order shift cipher I just presumed 99 was 'a', counted out each other letter for 99 = a, then it was a small matter to clock the letters in that nonce by one for each failure.
It is a neat idea, and some suspension of disbelief is always necessary, but I was chuckling when I was SSHing into computers in order to turn them on. I'd suggest they be connected to some network appliance, like earlier. It would also be nice to have a reason that they need to be on - like cracking some other, harder encryption. For your next round check out Bencoding, subnetting, CIDR masking, error correction using CRC and the MAC frame for 802.11. All require you to convert values from encodings.

@Cegik hahaha ur comment.. xD They sure must be like "wth?!"... Anyway, this game was absolutely awesome.. I'm not into puzzles but this one just caught my attention entirely! Loved the fact that we had to type and work on a "computer".

For some reason, in level one, when you say 1s it says command not found, so there's no way to get a password and log in with it,

For a reason i found a bug... on level 8: ssh peterobrain
ssh command not found.Use help to list available commands.
When typing help there is no ssh at all... just ls cat login help motd sudo

Holy crap this game is the best thing I've ever seen in all my years on Kongregate! Why the hell aren't we funding this?

so get this, the game is about a man who is 30 years old, has not been working for this complex for 21 933 days (aprox 60 years) , without any other job, gets questioned to get his identity back from his job and casually gets sent links of his friends lives and their thoughts on him, other than that logic. 100000/100000 platinum star rating, awesome decoding game, one last thing, how could you forget your birthday? logic is awesome, games are awesome. 1+1=2
