I was thinking port, seeing the 5 digit numbers. With the way NAT boxes work this makes sense. I just didn't continue that thought, was obsessed with overly complex solutions.

Well at least it wasn't the "create account with name: quick and simple, click the link with it and get a key". I would be pissed if it was the case.

Hey guys, I won the contest. The number it was giving you was how far off your source port was from the one it wanted you to have. I used netcat to manually set my source port and got it.


Can we have a confirm on this Rich?

Confirmed.

The first hint was referring to Hammy's post earlier in the thread.

I think the contest was interesting and all, but how were people who are unfamiliar with ports able to solve this? The winner had to download netcat and then input the numbers in, but not many people could have known to do that in order to win. =/

Man, I should have seen that, Great job R1CH with this one. You are absolutely right in the fact that we should have figured out earlier.

Eh well can't win them all guys. Compared to the Facebook Contests, this lasted at least 10 times longer because we actually had to think instead of type fast (...okay so we had to type fast too)
