Wednesday - Lockdown
Last night we received a communication from Mr. Pink. It seems that, unfortunately, his cover has been blown. Here's what he had to say:
I've been found out, so I must go in a moment. What I know right now is that the hacker psych0_n1ng4 has been working as an analyst for the NSA as an alternative to prison time--they are essentially keeping him under lockdown and monitoring all of his communications, but he has access to state-of-the-art equipment. Here is a link to gain access to his workspace. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to figure out the login information.
Fortunately, I believe that this information (and much more) is in the massive amount of data I've borrowed from my agency. Since I didn't have time to go through it, I've dumped it all into Professor Calvin Reynolds' PuzzleBot, as he is built to mine large, varied data such as this. The downside is that, as a puzzle bot, he will likely not give you straight answers, and you might have to do some work to get the information. You will probably need to get in touch with psych0_n1ng4 in order to break him out of the NSA facility.
Hints
- 1:35pm, Usually when I make a playlist, I put it in a particular order... I wonder if PuzzleBot does the same?
- 2:15pm, When I eat my cake, I like to start at the top-left and work my way down from there.
