Code A



"I have hidden four codes, ABCD, for access to my site. Do Konami. Code A: one zero zero one"

Discovery/Decryption

 * This code was initially discovered by Spupy behind a locked door in Questionable Ethics.


 * Checking the texture files for the game it's labelled as qe_pigpen_decal.vtf

I HAVE HIDDEN FOUR CODES ABCD FOR ACCESS TO MY SFTE - DR BONAMI CODE A ONE ZERO ZERO ONE
 * Before the filename was found, it was cracked by MrMuffins as the pigpen cipher to read as:

I HAVE HIDDEN FOUR CODES ABCD FOR ACCESS TO MY SITE - DO KONAMI CODE A ONE ZERO ZERO ONE
 * Some time later after receiving the first IRC clue, it was decided that the message had been purposefully misencrypted by missing out dots/lines on the F, R and B symbols. It should correctly read as:

Uses from the clue + potential leads

 * We were able to gain access to terminal.blackmesasource.com by entering the Konami code on Stormseekers homepage. Note that in Mozilla and possibly other browsers, the Konami code will only work when the "search on page by typing" feature is turned off (because otherwise the browser searches for "BA" instead of passing the key press events to javascript).
