smebdy hlp on atomsmasher

it is a general knowledge question and not a technical question. do not try to read more into the clue

 

[Anorion]

@Tron91... sure, mail in your PM Tsunami to aditya.madanapalle[@]9dot9.in
@3rdWorld: you are on the right track!
@Rituraj Singh Rawat: your clues are too direct! please, dont post or pm them, let the other players find out for themselves

@Anorion
will you verify our md5 sums for us?

 

[Rituraj Singh Rawat]

sorry anorion !!!just helping 'em out !

 

[Anorion]

Whoever is worried about the md5: here is a checklist
-Fix the hexed file, in the proper way. Don't try any shortcuts to bypass this step. You need to have an application that runs and gives you an ouput in a window. If you used some other means of getting the output, then you have not crossed this step.
-Find out how, and fix the hex file
-get the checksum of the fixed hex file

and a big hint: focus on the slogan a bit as well. It play's a role in the contest.

for those who have already mailed in, you can mail in again, if you have done something wrong. We will disqualify all wrong answers, so your first mail will be ignored, but a subsequent, correct mail will be considered.

hope that clears a few doubts.

Hey Anorion can u please explain,what exactly means "fixing" the hex file?What do we have to fix?
As u said I used a software to run it to read the clue given in it.What do we have to do this time Sir??

 

[Anorion]

^the hex file, when run, gives the next clue as the output
-when opened in notepad, notepad++, or by some other means, although the file is not "run", it still displays the output for the next step
-to make the hex file run, you need to modify it in some manner. this is the "fixing" step
-the checksum (md5) of the hexed file is different from the checksum of the fixed file
-if the file opens a window when double-clicked, it is fixed, otherwise, it is not an exe
-you need to get the checksum of the fixed, working, .exe file, and use that sum

hope that is clear

importantly, a wrong answer mailed in will NOT disqualify you from the contest. there is still plenty of time to mail in the correct response. However, we wont be replying to your mails, on whether or not your answer was correct. this would be unfair to the other players.

PS: aur yaar, Sir mat bulana
