E3 HAX
During Microsoft's E3 2018 presentation slot on June 10th, a hacker interrupted the speaker, ultimately causing a trailer for upcoming release Cyberpunk 2077 to play. Players noticed some valuable info during the hack, including GOG codes which were redeemable for games (they don't work anymore, sorry!) and most notably an IP address, 212.91.11.20.
QUADRA
Players quickly realized that the IP resolves to a section of CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077 website, where a password prompt was found along with a welcome message,
WELCOME TO QUADRA - THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS WITH A SOUL. PLEASE ENTER YOUR QUADRA VIP USER CREDENTIALS.
The login field is force-filled to QUADRA V-TECH, which players connected to a license plate number from the trailer, NC20 CP77, which serves as the password. Only a very small pool of players were allowed through, being met with a field to enter their email address. Soon after, the site began to display a message indicating a quota had been reached and that no more emails would be collected. How many players got through in total remains unknown.
Quota Met
Suspecting an ARG was building, players began to rummage the site and peruse other related media. A a "secure" subdomain was found, along with a password-protected "E3 Schedule" file. RTSP is set up on the site, which players suspected might indicate future intent. They discovered the site had as SSH server on the same host, which outputs an ASCII-art message, seen below.
