🧩 VHTV Forum Puzzle 🧩

Has nothing to do with it. I was just having some fun there. But it has nothing to do with the puzzle

[JonR]

I’ve moved a couple of steps further along by now… I found the code and ‘translated’ it, got the right tool, and am currently looking for a specific file… and a four-digit number.
And that’s where I’m stuck for the moment.

[jabbath1987]

Our JonR is really close to catching that nasty hacker already

[Whadupp6969]

That’s some James Bond level stuff right there

[jabbath1987]

I am quite sure that Mr. Bond would like the reward quite a lot

[Whadupp6969]

Here’s Miss Moneypenny to offer some assistance. Hope this helps

[JonR]

The good news is: I solved it…
The bad news: there’s a mistake in the solution… if you want to take the easy way out and use AI for the very last step An extra ‘v’ had snuck in there…
So, either delete the ‘v’ (it’s easy to spot the wrong one) or use other tools that don’t introduce this error.

@JonR

if you want to take the easy way out and use AI

It seems the hacker is smarter than the AI

[jabbath1987]

Now folks come on. If @JonR enjoys that reward all on his own maybe there won’t be any left for the rest of you when you take too much time

The reward might be a giant mountain of candy Jonr is eating into right now

[JonR]

I’ll try giving a few cryptic hints:

• ‘You solved it!’ is an important part of the solution.
• Sometimes light is so blinding that you overlook something.
• There is more than one archive (unfortunately, I fall into this trap quite often).
• Sometimes ‘before’ is more correct than ‘after’.

[NaggeDanseGanseDaag]

can it be, that is has to do with
Biaxially oriented Polyethylene terephthalate?

(BoPet)

Did I overlook there (in the related data) something again?

edit: that is base material of a floppy disk.

[JonR]

If so, then I took a different path So I’d lean towards ‘no’.

[JonR]

By the way, I want to thank you. You found the first domino that had remained hidden from me. The rest was more in line with my abilities than the beginning was.

[NaggeDanseGanseDaag]

I spent my time with Bo and her pets.
ahh…and Realm 64 (because of the picture name) and then with ‘Goldie’ because she is really hot.

[jabbath1987]

@NaggeDanseGanseDaag

Realm 64

Ummh I think you got that hint a bit wrong

[NaggeDanseGanseDaag]

doesn’t matter…i found Goldie

[jabbath1987]

But Goldie is not the reward

[jabbath1987]

A new day folks.. Maybe you should hurry or @JonR might have eaten already half of the candy stack

[JonR]

Just how much of a glutton do you take me for, anyway?!?

[jabbath1987]

You say there is still some candy left?
