Cyberpunk 2077 is a story-driven, open world RPG of the dark future from CD PROJEKT RED, creators of The Witcher series of games.








HAX! I CALL HAX!! A hacker infiltrates Microsoft's E3 2018 presentation to deliver some OP CP77 goodness.

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 and, most notably, an IP address, 212.91.11.20.

Password prompt found on the server the E3 hack's IP address resolved to.







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.





Message which greeted players when the password was entered after the quota was filled.

Quota Met

ASCII-art output of the SSH server.

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 "E3 Schedule" file. RTSP is set up on the site, which players suspected might indicate future intent. They discovered the site had an SSH server on the same host, which outputs an ASCII-art message, pictured right. The other output, Permission denied (publickey), indicates a private key would be needed to access the server.

Players also uncovered more potential leads in the trailer, including lines of debug output from OpenSSH, barcodes, PDF417 codes, and several messages (usually on screens in the video), including one which seems to tease the website found.

Developers indicated in multiple messages via Discord that players should wait as more information is coming. Whether or not the info found in the trailer will prove useful remained unknown.

Several users on Reddit who entered the password prior to the quota being met report they received emails from CDPR styled like emails from QUADRA automotive which request logistic and personal information from the player in order to receive a care package. There is no cause to believe the emails are illegitimate.

Return of the ARG

After a lengthy period of inactivity, the ARG sparked up again when CDPR posted concept art on their Twitter on 2018-22-08, with one of the screenshots containing a bit.ly link leading to an image. Opening that image in a text editor leads to a second image. Further investigation reveals that the numbers from the first image give the Login ID for Trauma Team International.
