Citizen,

You have been selected for a limited time beta test of our new government service "gammaNET".

The following application has been added to your private terminal:
gammaNET access

We expect a full report of your experience after the test period has ended.
Participation is mandatory!

======================================================

Let me know if you encounter any bugs, but no spoilers for others please.
You can add me on Steam if you can't explain the bug without spoilers.
Just post a comment here or on my Steam profile if you add me for that.

The countdown on the site is for the giveaway end dates.
The links at the bottom are just for attribution.
You don't have to interact with these for the puzzle.

I probably won't give any hints here, unless only very few manage to find the giveaways.
You can take a look at previous puzzles of mine and their solutions, if you don't even know where to start.
Now what is this exactly???
Ten

I will add a solution for this one as well, once it has ended.

Tthere wasn't a fixed order for the giveaways this time.

Solution

  • Start at https://gammanet.reluctantsnake.de

  • Open the third message.
  • Decode the Base64 string (there also was a hint in the page source if you didn't recognize it as base64 right away):
    hello fellow citizen, are you doing your duty as the all seeing eye intended? x)
    if you actually want your eyes to be open, check this out:
    /112321313612/
    you know what to do <3
  • Go to https://gammanet.reluctantsnake.de/112321313612/
  • You get multiple hints on that page:
    >inyournet // they somehow left part of the admin login key in one of the downloads
    >inyournet // brute forced the second part :D
    >inyournet // gStyQCPcC
    >ds(admin) // anyone interested in that should come to /deltanet/ <- vowels are leet x)





  • Go to https://gammanet.reluctantsnake.de/d3lt4n3t/

I feel really dumb bout the “leet” hint so missed out on solving the other two….probably because im an old timer didn’t even know what leet meant until I just googled it now :(

Thanks for the great puzzles!

No wonder I got stuck on the rest of the puzzle, I never figured out this was what I was supposed to do. Ah well thanks for explaining.

Same. I am hitting my head on the table now though. All the clues were there. I just never figured I should use both in the same place. D'oh!

Beautiful puzzle. I got stuck for lack of time to let things macerate in my brain but it's awesome to see how it was meant to work. Thanks a lot for going the extra mile and posting the solution after all the time you already spent on the puzzle.
