    That's what I am thinking about. Now things make more sense.

    Plus: The number before the letters, e.g 500XX, the 5 may not be where the letters start, it may be the sequence in which the letters are placed in the link. There is no harm in exploring other ways, why only keep stick to one?

    They've noticed we're discussing the puzzle and I assume they're thinking that with almost 3800 posts we have a cogent discussion that will slowly but inevitably lead to the solution.

    It's kind of funny, actually.

    Someone who knows about programming can say anything about this? Maybe here is an answer to us...

    $("#terminal_cmd").on("submit", function() {
    var i_prompt = $("input#prompt");
    var p_prompt = $("input#pswd");
    var p_label = $("span#pswd");

    if(i_prompt.val().toUpperCase() == "SUDO SOLVE()") {
    i_prompt.prop('disabled', true);

    var compl = $('.square.complete').length;
    if( compl == 3 || compl == 4 ){
    p_prompt.val('OOPS');
    p_label.show();
    p_prompt.show();
    p_prompt.focus();
    burned();
    return false;
    }

    p_label.show();
    p_prompt.show();
    p_prompt.focus();
    var pswd_input = p_prompt.val();

    if(checkCred(pswd_input)) {
    p_prompt.prop('disabled', true);
    $("#terminal").slideUp(500,function() {
    sling = true;
    burn();
    });

    startAtPuzzle("#" + puzzle_pos);

    } else {
    p_prompt.val('');
    }

    } else {
    i_prompt.val('');
    }

    return false;
    });

    I didn't give up.
    According your theory, we got something like that:

    I have thought that maybe the solution to write on the terminal might be on the code. So I tried to search the words "SUDO SOLVE()" and that's what I found.

    I only have one plausible explanation on why the letters don't make sense.

    If we assume that the snippet or whatever Linkin Park wants us to find is really stored on Amazon S3 (which is where the Amazon link in the code takes us to) then the numbers that we all assume are alphabets may be part of the link to that file. It may be in the form of https://s3.amazonaws.com/blablabla

    That would than explain why the letters don't make much sense because links don't usually make sense like YouTube and Google links etc, get where I'm coming from?

    Plus: The number before the letters, e.g 500XX, the 5 may not be where the letters start, it may be the sequence in which the letters are placed in the link. Just my two cents.
