New ArmA 3 ARG started?

[[frl]myke 14]

It started with this:

Please note the hostname: http://m26.node-42.rv4a3.org/

Going to that site, it "push's you back to the 80's" with modem dial sound.

It asks for login and password. The system identifies itself as "WOPR" (reference to the movie "Wargames"):

Login attempts from my side using "tictactoe" (and variants) as login and "Joshua" as password failed so far.

So, anyone got ideas?

Clues: (guesswork, unconfirmed)

------

Server location is NL

"Copyright Ion Inc."

URL rv4a3.org refers to "Real Virtuality ArmA 3"

The number dialed is in greece (+302254093269) / 2254 is the Limnos area code

Login "jerryhopper" seems to work, password not shared

Another login might be "melteme", not yet confirmed

Are the earlier host name(s) also part of this? Same IP as on this one.

Thats going to be good :-)

Myke, could you keep your first post updated about what we "discovered so far"? That would be awesome.

"Copyright Ion Inc."

Yeah, there's zero doubt that this is an ARG. :D

WOPR is from the movie "Wargames", if I recall.

[sakinz 14]

I have been in contact with Jerry Hopper, he is in way to home and going to look that site ASAP

WarGames on the wiki for people interested:

Stephen Falken is an early artificial intelligence researcher, and guesses correctly that his dead son's name "Joshua" is the backdoor password.

Password not working as already mentioned.

A moderator could also move the last few posts in the "Gameservers spotted" thread over here, since that's what they deal with.

Done, they are inserted on first page (system sorts by time).

Login variables ($user and $passwd) are stored in a PHP file, which you can't access.

- Does anybody have the login credentials for this page, it may contain some information related to the terminal.

That username and password does not work for this terminal. Unfortunately. You can find out the username and password for Ion-inc.com on google.

ARMA is so hardcore that the community needs to EARN new info?

I will PM you the username and password. But you should just search ion-inc.com password. It's related to the villain in OFP.

Ty. I did not get the login message first :p

[[frl]myke 14]

I doubt that they will use old references like Ion Inc logins. For that, the refererences to the eighties are too obvious. But trying it surely wont hurt. :D

Scratch that, missed the Ion Inc copyright at the bottom.

Stratis/Molon labe as login doesn't work. :/

The login is supposed to be obvious, probably all lower case too.

OFP did take place during the eighties.
