Der Riese Server Exploration

[play2often]

was playing black ops der riese, noticed on the loading screen, in the upper left corner, there was a piece of paper that said "Der Riese 25945"

not sure but perhaps it JUST MIGHT be a password, someone try it.

[Team Kya]

Whoever has the "der riese" map do some scoping and see if you find anything.

Would not surprise me if there are tips in that map.

[liltaz23]

Wow. This topic has been pretty inactive for a while...

but still, since verruckt and der riese were german, would Ahitler and maybe Fuhrer or maybe Blondi for password work? just wondering...

[fisher10190]

For the Password,have you tried the number sequence tht mason hears in the campaign or maybe something to do with the JFK Assassination?

[eltigre223]

how about, ear, EAR. E.A.R. edwardalexrichtofen, Edward Alex Richtofen, EdwardAlexRichtofen. mabey stumpy or dunka ?

[SURE_NA_UR_MA]

Try Abigal

[StoicalCookie]

so, i saw on you tube that one guy said that they found the pass and it was aussie. he said he lived in austrailia. give that a try but if not then maybe it has to do with how der riese is where it started and where it began.

[Matuzz]

I keep seeing posts here and there questioning the nature/legitimacy of the verruckt server. It is a server, but it isn't a remote server. "login veruckt" (only one R) will prompt you to enter a user name.

Now, I haven't gone too deep into user name/password hunting because I'm usually with buddies who just want to play zombies/MP, but I have tried "JBanana" "Peter" "TDempsey". As far as passwords for those accounts (assuming they are actual accounts), I have no idea, but that is what the collective CoDZ mind is for. As has been previously stated, I believe the passwords, or at least clues to the passwords (for veruckt, derriese, and dod alike) are hidden within servers we already have access to. Perhaps try ENCODING passwords we've already tried?

By the way, I've been lurking these boards for quite some time, but I've finally decided to jump into the fray. I've got a few topics in mind for posting, but until then, happy hunting!

There is no verruckt server you can put login porn96 and it asks you username and password.

[StoicalCookie]

Think of all the easter eggs in every single zombie map. like the meteors in kino, the batteries on 5, and the fly trap on der riese. Just Maybe theres somthing about the easter eggs that we dont no about that could lead us directly to the password :?:

[StoicalCookie]

The meteor on kino. Im starting to think that that has somthing to do with it. maybe richtofen didnt start this at all. maybe the meteor crashed down creating a zombie and richtofen tried to train it and then it went beserk trying to kill everything in its path :|

No that was Maxis, he was trying to train them and there were more than one zombie because in one of the tapes Maxis says bring me another after he kills it. Meteor was something to do with the teleporter and Die Glocke. Richtofen was at Shi no Numa when the meteor crashed and Takeo, Dempsy, and Nikkita went to check it out.

They got element 115 from the meteor and they used element 115 to create wunderwaffe and other super weapons and teleporter. And it also created the zombies because the element 115 regenerate dead cells.

Oh. ok that makes more sense

[xMiniM1]

I don't mean to sound stupid, but how can we be sure that these are even actual logins? I'm really interested in all of this and I'd love to help, but it seems like after you login to a server, the name could be ANYTHING (Or not even exist :\).

Again, I've only been on the terminal like twice. Ever. Sorry :P

[Commander034]

Everyone, stop guessing user names and logins. That will get us no where. The only thing we can do now is to guess with the commands in the quote below. We should first remove everything that is a command that doesn't relate to logging in. This would be anything ending in .txt, .pic, emails, commands such as foobar, zork, cat decode, encode etc., then we would have to remove confirmed passwords and usernames to remove confusion. Unfortunately I don't have time to help in this but I hope my instructions help. I've made some user names obvious in the quote by highlighting them.

These are all possible usernames pulled directly from the terminal. Now all that needs to be done is finding the corresponding passwords.

Another note;

I found something along the lines of Ascension.txt while I was looking through the terminal.

Any suggestions on what that could possibly be? Maybe a document about the location of the "Ascension" zombie map.

Somebody hacked the terminal and pulled out all commands from within. Those above are all possible usernames taken from the wall of commands taken directly from the terminal. These are ALL either valid usernames or passwords. The ones I assume to be passwords are the one's with no first name abbreviation; alicia, peter, samantha, sophia, berlin.

[Commander034]

I've marked things that may be passwords or usernames. There is an ascension text file in there for the person who said he saw one.

Edit: I underlined groups because as you can see right after amason on the list there shows documents. These documents are viewable on the amason account. I think this will also show us more inside the other accounts. Seeing as "password" isn't near amason I'm not sure if the list contains passwords.

Alright; this a revision of the list I made earlier, and as you can see there a few additions.

These are what appear to be ALL the usernames taken directly from the Terminal commands. So somwhere in all that is the key to unlocking the Der Riese server.

Now; as I looked through this I noticed a few things.

1st; something I mention earlier, there seems to be two files about Ascension. They're both .txt files so maybe they're documents ragrding the location of "Ascension", the new zombie map.

2nd; I noticed in a lot of the Reznov files were .pic files of wolves and dogs in chains. What could this be pointing to?

3rd; one of the stranger things I noticed, is the multiple Reznov usernames. There are 4 of them all together. Why does Reznov have 4 different usernames?

4th; there seemed to be a lot of files titled "Servant" followed by a series of 6 numbers I believe. Could these possible be referring to the Data Servants? I think there was a total of six different "Servant" files.

5th; this is my last observation, but also the most puzzling. Anybody think they can figure out the meaning behind mp_cosmo1 and mp_cosmo2? MP maps? That's the only thing that comes to MY mind.

Oh! And if you notice; theres a "edward" as well as an "erichtofen" username. What does Edward need two usernames for? Is he trying to hide something? Or has there always, in fact, been two Edwards!?

So many questions, so little answers.

Thoughts?

[CheezyWeezle]

so, i saw on you tube that one guy said that they found the pass and it was aussie. he said he lived in austrailia. give that a try but if not then maybe it has to do with how der riese is where it started and where it began.

Yeah, thats my youtube video. That guy was a liar. He is a total TROLL! We still don't know the combination of User/Pass yet, but if it is found on MY video (I found the fact of this existing FIRST. Check the upload date of my video. FIRST.) I will post it here.

[TeeRs]

I have been thinking about the numbers on the servant files for a while and asked a cousin of mine what he thought they meant; he thought they meant to show when they were recorded in the system.

-Here is the evidence to support that claim:

ServantA00001.txt

“Greetings

“i am ludvig maxis

“today is 20 January 1942

“my daughter has a dog

“it’s name is fluffy

“this is File 1

“for storage in the data

“servant

“I trust in it’s success

However....

When you get to this file....

ServantA00115.txt

“Element 115 overview: “Sources include meteors found in “Shi No Numa “Tunguska “Groom Lake “Der Riese “Moon (Confirmed via Astronomical team) “Applications include: “Transporter technology “Power source for DG-2 “General weapon upgrades via CWZIMOJZDUNINXPJZEKWZOLIEXZ “Side effects include: “Reanimation of dead cells “Vin inherent electrical properties.

If you missed the connection I was trying to make; its that one of these files is the first and has a number that shows it is the first, but there is a file with a number that could have been just for relevance. Was it really the 115th file put in there that just happened to mention element 115? I suppose it is possible but very unlikely.

So I took another file and compared it to see if the numbers were more relevant or perhaps gave a sense of time.

ServantA00359.txt

“Ray Gun summary: “Prototype developed by “Doctor Ludvig Maxis, “origin Der Riese facility “Based on designs seized from “Rising Sun facility at SNN. “Powered by Element 115 “Ray Gun works on microwave technology “And discharges a burst of green “Plasma energy between 220 and 230V. “Second generation currently under “Development by H. Porter “To reduce excessive peripheral “Damage.

As you can clearly see the numbers are not relevant and although it is not conclusive that those numbers are the actual entry they put in it is far more likely.

So assume that those numbers in fact show the chronological order that each file was put into the data servant and observe the following entries.

ServantB67129.txt

Experiments ongoing. “Observed a new effect “As a result of experiments. “Dr. Edward Richtofen as witness “Outlines as follows: “Tank Dempsey “Nikolai Belinski “Takeo Masaki “Subjects display unique “Side effects “Compared to previous “Subjects. “Baseline psyche remains “Intact, “But all specific memories “Have been lost. “Dr. Richtofen will continue “Observations.

ServantB70001.txt

“Ludwig Maxis “Personal file. “I fear Sophia “Has grown unnecessarily “Attached to me. “I catch her looking “In my direction “But she quickly looks away. “I admit “She is an attractive “Specimen. “I should send her away “She is a distraction “From my work. “My mind wanders to thoughts “Of her.

ServantB70326.txt

Ludwig Maxis “Personal File. “Edward has grown impatient. “He insists on accelerating “Our projects. “Regardless of the fact that “The 115 is limited. “He grows angry. Short “It was a mistake to invite him. “He cannot be trusted. “He watches me. “He watches Samantha. “He watches Sophia “And his latest creation “The monkey. “It screams when set aflame. “Then again “Perhaps it is the 115 “Affecting my mind. “I can no longer discern.

Why is Richtofen observing Tank Nikolai and Takeo before Dr Maxis died? the file with B6 at the beginning shows that the entry for such observations were recorded before Maxis got suspicious of Richtofen.

So- how does that relate to the servers?

Either I am correct about it being time relevant or those numbers mean something important that you can not understand at first glance.

Tell me what you guys think about this. Open to criticism~ just trying to contribute.

The numbers are just that of the file. The first file created on the computer that Maxis had was numbered A00001. The next one would be A00002 and so on. When they reached A99999 they would move onto B0001. The documents are spaced out in numbers because that was all that the CIA was able to recover. For the main characters, there are some theories floating around that they were tested on and is why they don't seem to have any memories outside of zombie killing. Though it could be speculated for Takeo that he was part of a Japanese base of Group 915 and as involved with creating zombies there(this is just a theory, do not take this as canon). Tank was the sole survivor of an extraction team, he may have been seen by escaping scientist or captured later on and tested after wards when he was brought to a facility that had not been touched by the outbreak. As for Nikolai, maybe he was just a soldier who wandered a bit too far from the battlefield and was also captured by Group 915.

Yes but if that is true wouldn't that prove that Tank Takeo and Nikolai were involved in group 935's activities before Shi no Numa? My point was that because the files of Richtofen being B6 (before B7) that Takeo Nickolai and Tank were involved before Maxis died which could have some importance in solving the server problem.
