When joining the irc server, no one responds, regardless of what I send. Is this expected?

UPDATE: I spoke with @z3bra privately, and

it did seem to be a bug, and it seems to be fixed now.

Without any spoilers, I just want to make sure. Is it still open? Is there any part that is blocked off, or long gone?

Hey everyone !

With so many people stuck at 200 points on the board, I'm wondering if the chapter 2 isn't too "abstract" ?

The Cyb3r Hunt is meant to be challenging, but it shouldn't discourage players because they can't figure out what to do.

For those that went past it, did you find the solution sketchy ? Did it all make sense, or you went past it without really understanding what all these files were for ?

For those stuck, where are you stuck at (please use a spoiler tag) ?

I'm considering removing some files I consider "optional", and changing the hint to make it less like a guessing game as to what to do.

Any opinions on this ?

Well, maybe I should find it by myself, but I don’t get where I’m supposed to submit the flags I found. Any hint?

Hi,

spoilerI’m trying to contact people via Tox regarding a special key, but no one answers. I made a friends request, but to no avail. Is this normal? Do I have to wait for somebody to answer, or am I on the wrong path?
Thanks for this game.

On the 19th of January [...] The admin team was helpless. In the split of a second, the whole CYBFARM network went down. Every subsystem on the planet stopped, and there was nothing they could do against it. The CYBFARM has always been autonomous, and nobody had enough knowledges of its internals to debug or fix anything.

Hopefully, a few minutes later, the first system came back up: the security module. Then other subsystems rebooted one after the others, and the production of goods restarted as expected.

We later found that an overflow occurred in the system clock. This caused a disruption of the internal message bus of the CYBFARM, which entered a locked state, and shut itself down to prevent harming the subsystems. The CYBFARM eventually found and patched the bug automatically, without any external intervention from our part. This was the first time in History that [an autonomous system] healed itself without human action!

This is such a major milestone in History!

Case stared at the old laptop.

Is it broken ?

Molly closed the lid, and put it next the others, all destroyed by the CYBFARM security module.

There must be a way to bypass it...
