Controlled Crack – April 9 (solved!)

Sys initiated a controlled crack again today, and it was another violent tentacle. Sys was prepared this time, so it wasn’t damaged, but thinks the primary network tentacle might have taken damage.

New info!

Sys tweeted that the subroutine S2 did report back saying there was a "minor hiccup in activity". S2 manages the SYS/LOG page, according to the subroutine list at the bottom of the page.

New info!

Sys tweeted that S2 manages all weekly ‘data dumps’ at the primary network tentacle. That may mean it works on more than just the SYS/LOG page that’s linked in the subroutine list at the bottom.

New info!

Sys tweeted some people in DM that the actual report from subroutine S2 said the ‘minor hiccup’ was what looks like an HTML comment:
<!—/—>

New info!

The affected page is Missionlog00.php, the list of messages that were made at the twitter before Essy was Stonewalled by Sys. I guess this is one of the dump locations S2 manages.

Each of those slashes (where the tentacle slashed at?) is located between letters in the source code. This is the list of the slashes (kind of like a tentacle itself!):

d<!—/—>w
<!—/—>a
t<!—/—>w
c<!—/—>r
T<!—/—>h
i<!—/—>e
o<!—/—>n
n<!—/—>g
a<!—/—>t
n<!—/—>l
d<!—/—>e
p<!—/—>w
e<!—/—>a
i<!—/—>n
t<!—/—>y
h<!—/—>i
i<!—/—>n
g<!—/—>a

That looks like a code, but I can't seem to make sense of it.

New info!

Sys tweeted that @Shad0h sent the damaged locations:

• WATCHING-AND-WAITING
• LIBRA
• DONT-TRUST-HER

Don’t trust who?

The letters for 'watchingandwaiting' read downwards through the lines, using the left or right letters.  It really is like a tentacle just took a swipe at the page!
