'''''SPOILER WARNING:''' This wiki page may contain spoilers for the show Mr. Robot.  The ARG is best played after catching up on the show.  '''You have been warned!'''''
 
 
 
The '''Mr. Robot ARG''' is an alternate reality game pertaining to the popular television show Mr. Robot.  Throughout the course of the ARG, players interacted with characters and factions from the show, in order to solve puzzles.  In particular, some players were recruited into fsociety, a fictional underground network of hackers.  One of fsociety's main goals in the show is to disrupt a multinational corporation called E Corp.

== San Diego Comic-Con ==
 
 
 
On the first full day of San Diego Comic-Con (July 20, 2017), attendees were exposed to promotional posters for Ecoin.  These posters led players to http://e-coin.com.  According to the posters and the website, Ecoin is a new cryptocurrency created by E Corp, a company in the Mr. Robot universe.  By creating an account on the Ecoin website, ARG players are able to view promotional offers and enter promotional codes.

One of the Ecoin posters at SDCC had the following message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
Use Ecoin to unlock the mysteries of the universe!
 
Don't wait - EVERY SECOND COUNTS!!
 
EUNSLEIPGRHOTMEONCMOEDNET
 
</pre>
 
 
 
By examining every second letter of the ciphertext, the following message is revealed:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
USE PROMO CODE ENLIGHTENMENT
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Using the promo code <code>ENLIGHTENMENT</code> on the [https://my.e-coin.com/promos Ecoin site] reveals a hidden message, advising ARG players to apply for a job at Red Wheelbarrow.
 
 
 
''More information on the SDCC event can be found in these Reddit posts: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ARGsociety/comments/6pzkz1/another_sdcc_arg_first_hand_account/ 1], [https://www.reddit.com/r/ARGsociety/comments/6pcr08/boesdcc_firsthand_accountchallenges/ 2]''
 
 
 
== Ecoin Launch Event ==
 
 
 
[[File:Ecoininvite.jpg|thumbnail|The invitation email]]
 
 
 
On September 28, 2017, an invitation email was sent out to players subscribed to the mailing list.  The invitation describes an Ecoin launch party, to be held on '''October 5'''.  However, the email also contained a hidden message.  The letters above each large bubble of champagne spelled out the message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
BITLYSEWGI
 
</pre>
 
 
 
By navigating to [http://bit.ly/sewgi bit.ly/sewgi], players were redirected to the [https://my.e-coin.com/event RSVP page] for the Ecoin launch party.  At the bottom of this page, the following image was found:
 
 
 
[[File:Launch-banner.jpg|800px|center]]
 
 
 
The image above spells out <code>SILENT SIN</code> in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_type Moon alphabet].  After responding to the RSVP page with <code>SILENT SIN</code>, the RSVP page's appearance completely changed, and displayed the following message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
Congratulations, your eyes have been opened and we now call
 
on you to join our resistance. On October 5th, while Evil
 
Corp is blinded by its own opulence, we will seize control of
 
this Ecoin bacchanal and embarrass them on a global stage.
 
These bourgeois oppressors have fashioned themselves a golden
 
throne and placed the legs squarely on our backs. Together,
 
we will rise up and burn that throne to the ground. Stand
 
with us as we fight for a new tomorrow.
 
 
 
If, and only if, you will be attending the Ecoin Launch Party
 
in person, leave us your email below and you will be
 
contacted by one of our operatives with your directive soon.
 
You must enter the same email used to RSVP to the Ecoin
 
Launch Party. Do not share this page or this message.
 
</pre>
 
 
 
[[File:Ecoin secret email 2.jpg|thumbnail|right|The fsociety email]]
 
 
 
Players who entered their email addresses received the following email from fsociety, the underground network of hackers:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
the war wages on.
 
 
 
the sins of evil corp must be
 
exposed. fsociety needs you at
 
the Ecoin Launch Event.

[[File:Color by numbers.png|thumbnail|right|The color by numbers page found on the [https://www.red-wheelbarrow.com/ Red Wheelbarrow site]]]
 
 
 
On the day prior to the Ecoin launch event, several websites which were used earlier in the ARG were updated.
 
 
 
The [https://www.red-wheelbarrow.com/ Red Wheelbarrow] site was updated with an entirely new site layout, along with a kids section.  The "color by numbers" printout in the kids section contained several hidden messages.
 
 
 
The path traced by the butterfly is actually Morse code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
- .... . -.--  -.. --- -. -  -.- -. --- .--  .-- .  .- .-. .  .... . .-. .  -.-- . -
 
THEY DONT KNOW WE ARE HERE YET
 
</pre>
 
 
 
The numbers in the sun, when converted to letters using a simple [http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/numbers.php substitution cipher], reveal the following message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
19 8 5 19 14 15 20 8 15 14 5 19 20
 
SHES NOT HONEST
 
</pre>
 
 
 
The numbers in the butterfly's wings, when converted to letters using the same cipher, reveal the following message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
19 8 5 19 14 15 20 19 1 14 5
 
SHES NOT SANE
 
</pre>
 
 
 
[[File:Richard of York.jpeg|thumbnail|right|Full resolution version of the Richard of York image embedded in Paint by Colors pdf]]
 
 
 
Running the file through [http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ exiftool], a thumbnail image was found.
 
 
 
[[File:Color by numbers thumbnail.png]]
 
 
 
Notable is the image in the upper left, which is a low res picture of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_of_York,_3rd_Duke_of_York Richard of York], shown at right.  Also known as Richard Plantagenet (RP), he fought in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses War of the Roses] in England on the side of the White Rose, and died in battle on 30 December 1460.  The date of his death and initials match the notation at the bottom of the PDF "30121460RP".
 
 
 
A mnemonic used to remember the colors of the rainbow, "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain",  is also a hint in the puzzle number color key to the hidden image.
 
 
 
Nothing of interest has been found yet in the Spot the Difference PDF.
 
 
 
<br clear=all>
 
 
 
The [https://www.conficturaindustries.com/ Confictura] site was also updated with a new quote in a hidden area, last accessed earlier in the ARG.  The hidden quote can be uncovered as follows:
 
 
 
The visitor counter at the bottom can be adjusted manually by clicking on it.  Setting the visitor counter to <code>0736565</code> causes the visitor counter to be replaced with a text box.  Entering <code>blackanddeepdesires</code> into the text box causes the Confictura page to completely change, revealing the hidden message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
If you drink much from a bottle marked “poison” it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.
 
</pre>
 
 
 
This message is a quote from Lewis Carroll's [https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/alice-I.html Alice's Adventures in Wonderland].
 
 
 
''(Note: the codes <code>0736565</code> and <code>blackanddeepdesires</code> were discovered earlier in the ARG.)''
 
 
 
Finally, using the promo code <code>ENLIGHTENMENT</code> on the [https://my.e-coin.com/promos Ecoin] site now reveals a different message than before:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
to sin by silence,
 
when we should protest,
 
makes cowards out of men.
 
</pre>
 
 
 
A quote often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln, but actually by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

[[File:FSociety Snapchat Video.jpg|thumbnail|right|A screenshot of the Snapchat video]]
 
 
 
An hour before the event was scheduled to start, ARG players boarded the fsociety bus to the Ecoin launch party.  Swag bags were distributed, some of which contained a physical Snapchat Snapcode.  Scanning the Snapcode led to [http://fsociety00.dat.sh/v/CDWNoGOMQSCKeArcAxZk/ this URL], which plays a video automatically.  Different participants received different Snapcodes, which led to different videos.
 
 
 
In addition to the Snapcodes, some players received handwritten notes, like the one below:
 
 
 
[[File:Ecoin party jared note.png|300px]]
 
 
 
As well, some players were tweeted directives by the official [https://twitter.com/whoismrrobot Mr. Robot Twitter].  These directives were targeted at ARG players who had used the hashtag [https://twitter.com/hashtag/WeAreFSociety?src=hash WeAreFSociety].  Some sample tweets are listed below:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
Your eyes have been opened. Go to the champagne station and find Charles. Tell him, “I am the 99%.”
 
Our movement can’t be stopped. Go to the serving station on Floor 2 and ask for the Chef. Tell her “I am a one, not a zero.”
 
</pre>
 
 
 
[[File:Stream screengrab.png|thumbnail|right|An interview on the 360 degree Facebook livestream]]
 
 
 
At 7:30 EST, the official live stream on Mr. Robot's [https://www.facebook.com/pg/WhoIsMrRobot/ Facebook page] went live, with 360 video providing full coverage of the event.  The 360 footage was interspersed with footage of 2 interviewers, one male and one female, interviewing guests at the event.  Both the interviewers and guests were actors, and provided some brief exposition about E Corp and the hacker group fsociety, as well as the fictional "Five-Nine" attacks, which spurred the development of Ecoin as a cryptocurrency.
 
 
 
At 8:00 EST, E Corp's VP of Public Relations took the stage to welcome the attendees to the party.  Shortly afterwards, the following image appeared on the livestream:
 
 
 
[[File:Ecoin stream bitly link.png|300px]]
 
 
 
Visiting [http://bit.ly/2yXEd2S bit.ly/2yXEd2S] led to a form where ARG players could fill out their mail address, along with the code <code>MJIPQNVS</code> (visible in the image above) to receive an FSociety mask.  Shortly after, another bit.ly link and code appeared on the screen, leading to an identical site.
 
 
 
[[File:Ecoin stream takeover small.png|thumbnail|right|The livestream immediately before it ended]]
 
 
 
At 8:30 EST, a promotional video for Ecoin was played in front of the audience, and Philip Price, the CEO of E Corp, took the stage:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
What a pleasure to see such an eager crowd this evening!  When I look out across this room, I see faces full of hope, unbroken by circumstance... yes, we live in dark times, because our civilization, left to its own devices, will find new ways of destroying itself.  Dangerous anarchists [...] have tried and failed, to undo everything we have done - everything you have worked for.  But do not despair!  By joining E Corp tonight, all of you show great strength and courage - and together, with the right leadership, order and stability will be restored.  That is what Ecoin is all about!  This new currency, this new era, is backed by one of the most powerful entities on the planet.  And E Corp is here to offer a strong hand to those in need.  This new currency will unite the world as one as we move into a truly digital age.  I stand before you here tonight to give you this assurance, this oath: E Corp will deliver you from this chaos!  Ecoin will provide a new beginning for a new world.  E Corp is, and always will be, still on your side.  With Ecoin, we can now move forward <whirring noise>
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Price's speech was interrupted, and glitching effects began to play on the live stream, reading "HELLO FRIEND" and "CONTROL IS AN ILLUSION".  At the same time, the lights in the venue went stark red, and fsociety banners were unfurled from the balconies, as some audience members put on fsociety masks.  Finally, the giant capital E suspended in the air was lowered to the ground, before the video feed was cut.
 
 
 
== Season 3, Episode 1 ==
 
 
 
Season 3, Episode 1 of Mr. Robot, titled '''eps3.0_power-saver-mode.h''', aired on October 11, 2017.  The episode contained several notable ARG clues.
 
 
 
=== License Plates ===
 
 
 
[[File:NYSJ-CJIS Menu.PNG|thumbnail|right|The prop menu of the NYPD tools site]]
 
Irving, in order to call off an FBI car following him, uses an [https://www.nyspcjis.net/menu/services/cjis/ NYPD plate lookup service]. The license plate of the FBI SUV is '''UVM7482''', which he uses to find the VIN number, '''1HGCM8Z633A0043F2'''.
 
 
 
=== Subreddits ===
 
 
 
[[File:Mr robot s3e1 qr.png|thumbnail|right|The QR code from the first episode of Season 3]]
 
 
 
A poster with a QR code on it was discovered in the episode.  Scanning this QR code led to https://jobs.runpula.net/, which was ostensibly a resume page for a Dylan C. Roberts.  Prominently displayed on his resume was his experience with E Corp, which confirmed that Dylan C. Roberts was, indeed, a fictional character.
 
 
 
Several "Contact Me" links on Dylan's page led to the profile of Reddit user [https://www.reddit.com/user/BCC4Life/ BCC4Life], who was active 2 years ago - presumably, BCC4Life is Dylan's handle online.  His activity was confined to the [https://www.reddit.com/r/inside_e_corp/ /r/inside_e_corp] subreddit, which also only displayed activity from 2 years ago.  This was particularly interesting given that, at the time of discovery, the /r/inside_e_corp subreddit had only been a community for 1 month (according to its sidebar).  This discrepancy was later fixed, but suggested that the Reddit adminstrators may have been involved with the ARG themselves.
 
 
 
At the time of discovery, several other users had posted on /r/inside_e_corp, including:
 
* [https://www.reddit.com/user/officedrone13 officedrone13] (moderator of [https://www.reddit.com/r/inside_e_corp/ /r/inside_e_corp])
 
* [https://www.reddit.com/user/EnnuiOtter EnnuiOtter] (moderator of [https://www.reddit.com/r/ZenArtofAutoDetailing/ /r/ZenArtofAutoDetailing])
 
* [https://www.reddit.com/user/WhatInTheActualKylie WhatInTheActualKylie] (moderator of [https://www.reddit.com/r/TheEclecticSlide/ /r/TheEclecticSlide])
 
* [https://www.reddit.com/user/KrullFan KrullFan] (moderator of [https://www.reddit.com/r/REALMysterySpot/ /r/REALMysterySpot])
 
 
 
Some of the NPC users from [https://www.reddit.com/r/inside_e_corp/ /r/inside_e_corp] were found to have posted on three other fake subreddits: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ZenArtofAutoDetailing/ /r/ZenArtofAutoDetailing], [https://www.reddit.com/r/REALMysterySpot/ /r/REALMysterySpot], and [https://www.reddit.com/r/TheEclecticSlide/ /r/TheEclecticSlide].  These subreddits were similar to [https://www.reddit.com/r/inside_e_corp/ /r/inside_e_corp], in that all of their activity had taken place 2 years ago.  All of these subreddits were private - only approved users could make submissions.
 
 
 
Four posts, one on each of the four subreddits, conspicuously mentioned the number <code>264</code> ([https://www.reddit.com/r/inside_e_corp/comments/75foxq/poll_floors_with_the_best_bathrooms/do5tzwu/ 1], [https://www.reddit.com/r/ZenArtofAutoDetailing/comments/74ywj7/learn_this_lesson_master_time/do26jz7/?st=j8xd9k2b&sh=446511b6 2], [https://www.reddit.com/r/TheEclecticSlide/comments/74wvmj/tbt_remember_this_still_cracks_me_up/do1nzbv/?st=j8xdhguu&sh=e73239d4 3], [https://www.reddit.com/r/REALMysterySpot/comments/74zb42/gravitational_waves_leaking_from_parallel/do28yyx/?st=j8xdqa75&sh=b4c4b9b9 4]).  In these 4 posts, the following five emoticons were used: <code>:O :d :c :x :E</code>.  When rearranged, the letters used in the emoticons spell <code>codex</code>, and when combined with the number <code>264</code>, this clue hints at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC H.264 codex], which is used in video compression.  At this time, it is unclear if this puzzle holds any further significance.
 
 
 
=== Minesweeper Game ===
 
 
 
One of the episode's main plot points was hacking a minesweeper game for a "Capture the Flag" hacking challenge.  After the episode aired, [https://www.whoismrrobot.com/ whoismrrobot.com], the hub site for the Mr. Robot ARG, was updated with a [https://ufile.io/na8gx minesweeper.py] file, which generates a Minesweeper game identical to the one described in the show.  ''(Note: The game will not run properly on Windows, only on Linux systems.)''  Additionally, the game is vulnerable to a very particular exploit, the same exploit that was used in the show to hack the game and win the challenge.
 
 
 
''More information on the Minesweeper game and its exploit can be found [https://www.reddit.com/r/MrRobot/comments/76kz6m/cryptic_python_minesweeper_challenge/ here].''
 
 
 
== Season 3, Episode 2 ==
 
 
 
Season 3, Episode 2 of Mr. Robot, titled '''eps3.1_undo.gz''', aired on October 18, 2017.  At one point in the episode, the [[#Subreddits|subreddits discovered in the previous episode]] were shown.  Additionally, Episode 2 contained several notable ARG clues.
 
 
 
=== EC_NY Portal ===
 
 
 
[[File:Mr robot s3e2 email.jpg|200px|thumbnail|The email linking to [https://www.whoismrrobot.com/ whoismrrobot.com]]]
 
 
 
Immediately after the episode was aired, an email was sent to ARG players who had signed up for E Coin.  This email encouraged players to visit [https://www.whoismrrobot.com/ whoismrrobot.com], where a new desktop portal had become available.  This portal was titled '''EC_NY''', and was, presumably, the desktop of an E-Corp machine located in New York.  The desktop contained several items:
 
 
 
* A folder titled "HR Form Drafts" containing several drafts of a complaint against an employee, Samar Swailem
 
* A folder titled "Documents" containing floor plans, a map of E-Corp storage facilities, and a link to various [https://www.whoismrrobot.com/fs/images/ec_ny/Documents/Employee_Forms.pdf E-Corp employee forms]
 
* A "Nameplate Maker" app that allows a user to generate their own E-Corp nameplate
 
* The Employee Training video that was shown in the episode
 
 
 
None of these items appear to have any hidden meaning attached to them.
 
 
 
=== "Plans" Archive ===
 
 
 
[[File:Mr robot s3e2 plans qr.png|thumbnail|right|The QR code concealed in the "plans.rar" archive]]
 
 
 
At one point in the episode, a URL is visible: https://sandbox.vflsruxm.net/plans.rar.  Visiting that link yielded the following text:

This data is encoded in Base64, and can be decoded (eg. with [https://www.base64decode.org/ this site]).  By opening the decoded file as a RAR file, its contents could be extracted.  The RAR archive contained an image of a QR code, which, when scanned, led [https://github.com/RedBalloonShenanigans/MonitorDarkly here].  This page contains a real-world exploit that was used by the FBI in this episode of Mr. Robot, to view a target's monitor.  Because this page is publicly accessible, it is thought to be the conclusion of this particular puzzle trail.
 
 
 
=== E-Corp Webmail ===
 
 
 
[[File:Mr robot s3e2 presentation.png|thumbnail|right|The first slide of the presentation discovered using the username <code>RETRO</code> and password <code>PORTAL</code>]]
 
 
 
Another link was shown in the episode at one point: https://webmail.e-corp-usa.com/owa/.  Visiting this website yields a login prompt.  In the episode, two characters' login credentials were shown:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
[email protected] / aboynamedg00
 
peter.mccleery / tapitback!
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Using each of these login credentials yielded the following 2 error messages:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
INCORRECT FIELD INPUT.  ERROR #13489-RARECHPOT
 
INCORRECT FIELD INPUT.  ERROR #123578-PARMLETOR
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Both error numbers contain a series of digits followed by a series of letters.  By taking the letters in the positions of the digits, two distinct anagrams were discovered:

Logging into the website with the username <code>RETRO</code> and the password <code>PORTAL</code> links to a [https://webmail.e-corp-usa.com/O1IQ6LbJ/HT26MABs/%7E4ezQlaZc/_attachments/K3ZQ6XJr/TqfqF5Hp/Paper_Records.pdf PDF file] containing a presentation that was seen in the show.
 
 
 
=== E-Corp Badge ===
 
 
 
[[File:Mr robot s3e2 badge qr.png|thumbnail|right|The QR code on Elliot's E-Corp Badge]]
 
 
 
At one point in the episode, a QR code is shown on Elliot's E-Corp employee badge.  Scanning the QR code leads to this URL: http://www.e-corp-usa.com/company_directory/elliot_alderson/
 
 
 
No puzzles have been found on this webpage.
 
 
 
=== E-Corp Shipping ===
 
 
 
A link was shown in the episode at one point: http://www.e-corp-usa.com/cp/directory/shipping/1088989/.  Visiting this website yields a login prompt - the correct login credentials have yet to be determined.

[[File:Mr Robot S3E3 Static.gif|thumbnail|right|A frame of the static from the babycam site]]
 
 
 
At one point in the episode, the following IP address was shown: 192.251.68.238, which links to https://y9bukwer.bxjyb2jvda.net/.  This website is ostensibly a webcam monitoring site, which was used in the show to watch an infant.  Instead of a video feed, the webpage randomly selects an image of static, which is a GIF file.

This is hexadecimal for the word <code>here</code>.  At this time, the significance of the word is unclear.  The static animation changes roughly every 6 hours.  There have been four distinct static animations found thus far.  Each have hidden messages as well, but on a different frame, and with a different color value:

=== The Daily 5/9 ===
 
 
 
ARG players with access to an Amazon Echo device or Reverb (for Android and iPhone), were able to play a minigame called "The Daily 5/9", which could be enabled as a Skill at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076K7QL3V. The objective of the game is to get a file for James, the main character, from Phillip Price. Once enabled, the guide to completing the skill is as follows (the guide will begin after you say "Alexa, play The Daily 5/9" and listen to the news segment from Frank Cody):
 
 
 
<pre>
 
1. Yes
 
2. 1
 
3. Hello Friend
 
4. Office
 
5. Bus
 
6. Ignore
 
7. Steal a Badge
 
8. Steal Co-Worker's Badge
 
9. Threaten Her
 
10. Reconnect
 
11. Decrypt the File
 
12. Find Another Way
 
13. get in Vehicle
 
14. Yes
 
15. Purple
 
16. Yes
 
17. No
 
18. Seagull
 
19. Go to the Town Car
 
20. Yes
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Note that options 4-18 are only recommendations. Any choices you make between that range all lead to the arcade. Also note that option 19 is not specifically said in the dialogue. Instead, it's implied as "something unplanned" by Jason. After following the steps though 19, you will get a message from Whiterose:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
[Whiterose]: I am both impressed and surprised. Usually, I am neither. Your bold choice has earned you 80 seconds of my time.
 
 
 
[Jason]: I... don't understand.
 
 
 
[Whiterose]: Oh, no. You do not speak. I have no time for that. What I do is look for potential that will help mine. At the beginning of this, you were like a flipped coin, tossed into the air, how you landed was yet to be known. What fascinates me is the quantum state suggests you were both. Heads and tails. Yes and no. A 1 and a 0. But this lasted only until you were observed. Until you were tested with the choices you made. Only then, your nature became known. And gave me a better understanding of your usefulness. I look forward to meeting you in person.
 
 
 
[Jason]: What?
 
 
 
[Whiterose]: I'm not talking to you, James. You are insignificant. I'm talking to the little bee, buzzing in your ear. I have an appointment to keep. And James, drop this silly charade. This test is over.
 
</pre>
 
 
 
After the game is finished, the player is told that they are now a "full member of the Dark Army", and that they are "now being monitored and will be notified of future missions".

=== Dark Army Mask ===
 
 
 
[[File:S03E04 Dark Army Mask.png|thumb=S03E04 Dark Army Mask Thumb.png|right|6526 x 8192 Dark Army Mask]]
 
 
 
In the scene where Eliot is hacking E Corp Shipping via a [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-016 Struts vulnerability] (not the same used against Equifax, but similar), the IP address 192.251.68.224 is visible.  The IP address redirects to https://y8agrfx3.bxjyb2jvda.net/.  This site appears to be a Chinese file browser, with folders
 
called Video, Image, Document, Download, etc. In the Recent and Image folders, there are two images.  The desktop Ubuntu Kylin background image appears to be a stock image, but the Dark Army mask (on right), though appearing low resolution, is actually a very high resolution 6526 x 8192 pixel image.
 
 
 
Zooming in to the center grey 'pixel' just below the black mouth, and adjusting the color curves to separate the low contrast data reveals the following message:
 
 
 
[[File:S03E04 Dark Army Mask Message Enhanced.png]]
 
 
 
This is a misattributed quote to the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland.  Nothing else of note has been found on this website.
 
 
 
Also shown on the same screen as the IP address above is a link to https://www.ecoin.services/manager/.  This appears to be a static page, with no relevance to the ARG.

=== EC_NY Portal Update ===
 
 
 
[[File:S03E04 Password Memo.png|thumb|100px|right|Password Memo]]
 
After the airing of Episode 4, the [https://www.whoismrrobot.com EC_NY Documents folder] was updated with two new images.  One is a document from E Corp Information Security Dep't with a reminder of E Corp's company policy concerning password strength:
 
* A minimum of 8 characters
 
* Uppercase letters
 
* Lowercase letters
 
* Numbers
 
* Special characters
 
There is an conspicuously underlined and bolded word, <u>'''overlook'''</u>, at the end of the document, which is notable for being eight characters long.
 
 
 
<br clear=all>
 
 
 
[[File:S03E04 Hackers Screening.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Screening Poster]]
 
The other new image is a flyer for a screening of the cult film classic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_(film) Hackers] movie, with a quote from the movie about the most commonly used passwords being 'love', 'sex', 'secret', and 'god' (left blank in the poster).  There were a number of references in Episode 4 to the characters Elliot and Tyrell becoming gods.
 
 
 
The significance of these two documents is not yet understood, but appear to be hints for guessing ARG passwords.

I may have found a way to undo the hack. I've been investigating Romero. He installed hardware keyloggers on all
 
the machines at the arcade some time before five/nine. The NYPD imaged all of his data after he was murdered. I
 
was able to get this chain of custody document from the NYPD when they prepared to transfer the evidence to
 
the FBI. They couldn't get into the encrypted keylogger containers. If Romero somehow got a hold of the keys, or
 
even the seed data and source code for the encryption tools, the answer might be in those keylogger captures,
 
but the FBI probably has those files now.

The IP address [https://yd9xldsr.bxjyb2jvda.net/ 192.251.68.236] was found on the website that was used by Elliot to sign into the Dark Army's botnet. The username and password were found from the keylogger used by Elliot, garyhost/hunter2. Using that gives an error message that translates to '''"Password Update Please enter the update password"'''. Using LSB extraction on the image found on [https://zyajcl2.bxjyb2jvda.net/ 192.251.68.228] resulted in the string <code>"p":"qBqOR5VJJzgJERxpXZ4l2JXSQOthufVnAynQMROT"</code> being found.
 
 
 
 
 
Using the username '''garyhost''' and the password '''qBqOR5VJJzgJERxpXZ4l2JXSQOthufVnAynQMROT''' allowed players to log in to the Dark Army's botnet. Using the locations listed, the following locations were found:
