[brainisdead]

thats twice the person who wrote this puzzle has presumed we own certain software.

That's the whole idea of hacking

dude, chill out, be happy that people kind enough to help you out -.-"
Maybe you need to open the xls file with an another file than xls itself

It's a program that every computer has xD, you mostly put notes on it

[brainisdead]

that url inside? someone already tried it and got 404 on it.
didnt know notepad opened those files, guess you learn something new every day ;_0

Hey SpiritSoul, I'm hoping that you have got passed this level with that information.

Both Billesan and I have found content within the document which "another program" would not show. This appears to be key to altering what is seen in "another program" to another resulting destination by using a VB Sub.

I would be interested to hear if we have dug too deep.

[brainisdead]

seems we all gave up on this as being too hard?

[~Qwerty]

This riddle seems interesting.. like others, I'm also stuck at the third one.

[Step Murt]

Well, I can only view the level 3 file on notepad, but it looks like the URL I see is the only unusual thing there... does anyone notice ANYTHING else odd about this level?

BTW, we are NOT giving up because of the difficulty of this riddle Brainisdead.. but I'M not stopping you, so go ahead and quit....

[brainisdead]

you mean the url that wont work?

[Materdaddy]

you means this piece of useless information?
"welldone !!! to reach next level I would go to h**s***l***l4.php"
the url that wont work?

There's more to it than that "useless url" that gives you a REAL-ish) URL. Somebody else in this thread already mentioned it. The problem is, that URL doesn't seem to work either.

Anybody get this one?

[brainisdead]

PM me the other URL?
It does seem from the lack of posts in the thread no-one is playing this at all

[Step Murt]

Hmmm... I'm absolutely clueless.... hopefully SOMEbody will stumble across the answer someday...

Level 4 URL Error?

I believe there is either an error in the URL or it is so unbelievably out there that it can't be figured out anyway.

Downloaded the excel.zip
Extracted try2hack.xls
Removed VBA Password to view the Macro code
Added the following line to the try2hack()
Range("A1").Value = done //this will print the value of "done" in cell A1
Run the macro
<<removed by moderation>>

I'd love to hear what someone else has, this riddle is fun but frustrating at this point...

I asked the riddlemaker yesterday evening about this riddle, and he told me, that the riddle isn't finished yet.

He never made it public, and i don't know, if he ever will finish it

Even though you should edit your post, cause no solutions allowed to post, even in spoilers

[frankG]

well, technically we don't know if it is the solution or not...
