RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Crypter - 05-24-2015

It appears completely random, so it's either a cryptographic key or encrypted or compressed data. I guess we'll have to wait for more clues, the ARG isn't over yet.
Well, it can't be a private key, because then the 2nd prime number would end with a 4, making it a composite number. Perhaps this is a one-time pad? If it is, it would make sense to start with 0s because it has to match the length of the string that it encrypts.

The private key could start with a null byte if it is stored in the data format of some encryption software, e.g. during the AAMFP ARG there was an OpenPGP key file embedded in the HTML code (which started with a "BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK" header so it was immediately clear how to interpret it).
But I think it's more likely that it's simply encrypted data and we lack the algorithm and key.

So, these are clips from them movie I assume. Reed is still alive.

Why does it have to be RSA?

It might depend on your definition of "alive".
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Crypter - 05-24-2015
So, I tried the Ping command. Pinged alpha, and it started pinging alpha. However, it also showed an IP address. I went ahead and pinged/traced it from cmd. The response was under 1ms, but the packets returned with a TTL of 64, meaning it had quite a long way to go. Despite that, the trace shows no locations that it went through on the way. Am I missing something?
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - BAndrew - 05-24-2015
The IP address you found is your own.
Using ping:
Alpha station is not responding
Theta station is responding (0% loss)
The signal reaches Omega station but the response is lost (100% loss)
Delta station is responding (25% loss)
Phi station: Unable to secure LUMAR link. Don't know what that means, but the ping failed
Are there any other stations?

Okay, that explains it.

Is this a countdown? To what?
