Central Intelligence Agency Data System


 * For the faction that uses this program, see Central Intelligence Agency

Description
The Central Intelligence Agency Data system is a mainframe-based program found in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It can be accessed from the computer terminal, found in the back of the interrogation room of the main menu after break free from the chair. The name to enter to access the data system is CIA 

How to break free
It is possible for a player to break Alex Mason free from the chair. It unlocks a Trophy on PSN / an Achievement on XBox Live: "Just Ask Me Nicely", if a player manages to.

To break free from the chair on Nintendo Wii, shake the Remote and Nunchuck.

On XBox 360, to break free, a player has to quickly pull the left trigger (LT) and right trigger (RT) repetitively. Information on breakout for other systems pending.

How to access
Once free from the chair, when you walk around to the back of the room you'll find a computer terminal. Go near it and push your prompted action to "Use the Computer" (Hold X on XBox 360). A computer console will be shown. The console informs you are connected as user "amason" on the Central Intelligence Agency Data system. A security notice is also displayed. A cursor will blink on the screen next to the command prompt sign "&", ready to accept the terminal commands described here under. On XBox 360, a player has to select the letters from the displayed keyboard to enter commands. If you enter anything invalid, the console will return "Error: Unknown command - try "help" ".

System Users
On a real-life UNIX-based system, the WHO command outputs the names of system users, which the connected system user is allowed to see. Based on this and the output from the WHO command in-game, these are all the valid users that can connect to the CIA data system. Users are listed in alphabetical order as they appear after entering the WHO command. User: amason - Password: PASSWORD

User: asmith - Password: ROXY User: bharris - Password: GOSKINS User: dking - Password: MFK User: fwoods - Password: PHILLY User: gweaver - Password: GEDEON User: jbowman - Password: UWD User: jfkennedy - Password: LANCER User: jhudson - Password: BRYANT1950 User: jmccone - Password: BERKLEY22 User: jturner - Password CONDOR75 User: lbjohnson - Password: LADYBIRD User: rhelms - Password: LEROSEY User: rjackson - Password: SAINTBRIDGET User: rkain - Password: SUNWU User: rnixon - Password CHECKERS User: tbrooks - Password: LAUREN User: twalker - Password: RADI0 User: vbush - Password: MANHATTAN User: wraborn - Password: BROMLOW To find all users on a real-life UNIX-based sytem, one should look at the home directorie folders listed within the system's designated user home directories path. If not altered by a sytem administrator, the path should by default be /HOME. Based on this, when you go to the CIA data system's user home directory path - enter CD /HOME - and you enter DIR or LS you should see these user home directories on the CIA data system, not listed with WHO. Based on a real-life UNIX-based system, each name of a directory shown, is also a user that can connect to the system.

System Commands
Various system commands, which are instructions written in human-readable words for a computer to execute, are available for operating the system. Commands have to be entered into the computer's console.

Help command output
help - displays help information and any valid command to use with the computer.

cat [file] or print [file] or type [file] - prints the contents of a file (.TXT, .PIC, .SND).

cd [.|..|path]</tt> - changes the current directory. "." is used within a path to indicate the path to parent of current dir, ".." is used to go up to parent dir of current dir. Known paths are "/HOME" (= system dir with all users' home directories), "/BIN" ( = On UNIX systems, traditionally so-called shell-environment, containing commands usable by all users), and "/" ( = root dir on the system).

decode [string]</tt> - decodes an encrypted string using an agency standard cypher.

encode [string]</tt> - encodes a string using an agency standard cypher.

cls</tt> - clears the console's screen.

dir</tt> - displays the contents of the current directory.

rlogin [system]</tt> - connect to a remote system. Known systems are CIA, DREAMLAND, DOD and DERRIESE.

login</tt> - connect as a different user to the system currently connected to. Parameters are USER followed by PASSWORD.

mail</tt> - opens the current user's electronic mailbox. This is a very informational place to look around.

who</tt> - lists the users who have user accounts on the system currently connected to. To find user accounts not listed with who</tt>, check de home directory: CD /HOME then LS or DIR.

exit </tt> - disconnects / logs out the user, whome was last logged in with, on the system currently connected to.

BIN directory
As on a real-life UNIX-based system within the binaries directory, more commands can be found on the CIA data system's binaries directory. Type CD /BIN then DIR or LS:

ls</tt> - displays the contents of the current directory, just like the command dir</tt>.

zork</tt> - starts the classic text-based adventure game Zork on the terminal. Play the Zork game to get the "Eaten By A Grue" Achievement / Trophy.

<tt>foobar</tt> - displays the characterstring: "Fee Fie Foe Foo!"

<tt>hello sailor</tt> - launches Zork, same as typing zork command.

<tt>more</tt> - Prints on a new line within the console the characterstring ---MORE---.

The following command - <tt>3arc</tt> - has been found. The command is in fact the Clan Tag any non-player-controlled enemy / team member has, when playing the Combat Training mode.

<tt>3arc unlock </tt>- a cheat code which unlocks the Zombies map "Five" and all the single player missions.

<tt>3arc intel</tt> - a cheat code which unlocks all intel in the game for viewing, but disables the 'Closer Analysis' Achievement / Trophy.

Zork commands
After starting the in-game text-based retro-game Zork, either through entering zork or hello sailor, these are the commands a player can type into the computer terminal's console to play the game. This is not an exhaustive list.

Remote Systems
Other remote systems exist and are accessible using the login and rlogin functions. There are three confirmed remote systems, known as "DERRIESE", "DOD" and "DREAMLAND". There aren't any other servers to be found. Enter the "login" command to authenticate a user on the system currently connected to, e. g. on starting the terminal, one is connected to CIA. The "rlogin" command is for reaching remote servers, i. e. any system other than the one currently connected to. It is possible still to "rlogin CIA" followed by USER and PASSWORD, even when connected to CIA Data System already.

Note: Any user is accepted when asked for in commands login and rlogin [system]. The login command does not validate USER. The rlogin command validates for [system] yet does not validate the USER to connect to target system. This means both commands will only return "Invalid Password", trying the password with the given user. This implies one cannot try to guess for users on target remote system. One can guess for [system] names, though, as rlogin validates [system] parameter for existence. If the server / system does not exist, rlogin [system] will display "Error: Unknown System". If the [system] exists, rlogin continues asking for a USER and PASSWORD.

DREAMLAND
The Dreamland remote system is accessible using the <tt>rlogin</tt> command. Known users and passwords are:


 * User: twalker - Password: THANKSDAD
 * User: vbush - Password: MAJESTIC1
 * User: roppen - Password: TRINITY

Also, a full list with the names of the refered Majestic-12 (MJ-12) members can be found, in President J. F. Kennedy's home directory on CIA Data System (user: JFKENNEDY - password: LANCER) on a file named "MJ12.TXT":
 * 1) Dr. V. Bush: user: VBUSH - password: MAJESTIC1 (on DREAMLAND) or MANHATTAN (on CIA)
 * 2) R. Hillenkoeter
 * 3) J. Forrestal
 * 4) N. Twining
 * 5) H. Vandenberg
 * 6) R. Montague
 * 7) J. Hunsaker
 * 8) S. Souers
 * 9) G. Gray
 * 10) D. Menzel
 * 11) D. Bronk
 * 12) L. Berkner
 * 13) R. Oppenheimer: ROPPEN - TRINITY (Password emailed in CIA standard cypher encoded string to Dr. V. Bush). Trivia: TRINITY Avenue is the streetname on NUKETOWN multiplayer map.
 * 14) A. Einstein
 * 15) K. Compton
 * 16) E. Teller
 * 17) J. Von Neumann
 * 18) Dr. W. Von Braun

DOD
The DoD (Department of Defense) remote system is accessible using the <tt>rlogin</tt> command. Ad hoc, nobody has confirmed nor found any valid user to connect to the DOD data system.

DERRIESE
The Der Riese Datenbediensteter (Servant) mainframe is mentioned in files that Dr. V. Bush and others have found in the Verrückt archives. The system DERRIESE is accessible using the rlogin command. Nobody has confirmed nor found any valid user to connect to DERRIESE

Note: Within a file on the home directory written in a standard C. I. A. cypher-encoded string a man called Peter, also mentioned as the C. I. A. infiltrant in Group 935 that had to be extracted by the U.S.M.C Recon Tank Dempsey.

There are several files found in Dr. Vannevar Bush's home directory, name-patterned as SERVANT####.TXT. These are data files stored by Dr. Ludvig Maxis, that Dr. Vannevar Bush retrieved from the Der Riese compound. Many correspondence between Dr. Vannevar Bush and a colleague - found in mail of VBUSH - mention limericks supposedly written by the characters in the Zombie Mode. In one of the limericks' texts the Monkey Bomb turns up.

Trivia

 * References can be found within Jason Hudson's MAIL on Oxcart Operations and J. F. Kennedy's file "OXCART.TXT" to the Byeman Talent Keyhole Control System to be used as handle, the U.S. Military code name and clearance level, e.g.


 * Document BYE 2367-65


 * HANDLE VIA BYEMAN TALENT KEYHOLE CONTROL SYSTEM
 * JOINTLY


 * OXCART is the code-name for the secretly authorized deployment of three SR-71 Blackbirds developed in Area 51.


 * The terminal console's keyboard is an incomplete QWERTY keyboard.


 * Allthough output text is displayed in lowercase characters and uppercase where expected, a player can only enter uppercase characters when typing in commands.


 * The more command is normally used on a UNIX-based system as command to dig deeper within a text file. Contrary to a real UNIX system, one cannot redirect command output to e. g. other commands.


 * dir and ls both have the same effect. The dir command is the typical command coming from a Microsoft DOS-based system, while ls is used on UNIX-based systems.


 * The console's input cursor cannot be repositioned.
