Black Ops Data Servers

This page features all data systems / servers known up till today, that can be accessed in-game through the computer terminal.

Data Servers
Several data servers exist in-game and are accessible using the LOGIN and RLOGIN [system] commands. There are four confirmed systems, known as "CIA", "DERRIESE", "DOD" and "DREAMLAND". Ad hoc, nobody has found nor confirmed to have connected to other than these four data systems.

On the computer terminal, enter the LOGIN command to authenticate a user on the system currently connected to, e. g. on first using the computer, one is connected to CIA as user amason. To connect as user jhudson, enter LOGIN, then enter JHUDSON and BRYANT1950.

The RLOGIN [system] command is for reaching remote servers, i. e. any system other than the one currently connected to. It is possible still to use "RLOGIN CIA" followed by USER and PASSWORD, even when connected to CIA Data System already.

Note that any USER is accepted when asked for in commands LOGIN and RLOGIN '''[system]. The LOGIN '''command does not validate USER. The RLOGIN [system] 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 [system] does not exist, RLOGIN [system] will display "Error: Unknown system".

If the [system] exists, RLOGIN continues asking for a USER and PASSWORD.

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] - 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] - decodes an encrypted string using an agency standard cypher.

encode [string] - encodes a string using an agency standard cypher.

cls - clears the consoles 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, whom 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.

doa</tt> - starts a top-down shooter style arcade game in which the player must fend off waves of zombies as they move among different play areas. Play the Dead Ops Arcade game to get the "Insert Coin" Achievement / Trophy.

alicia</tt> - begins an endless session with Alicia, your virtual therapist. Type quit or q and enter to make her stop.

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

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

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

The following command - 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.

DREAMLAND
The Dreamland 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 street name on NUKETOWN multiplayer map.

 * 15) K. Compton
 * 16) E. Teller
 * 17) J. Von Neumann
 * 18) Dr. W. Von Braun

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

DERRIESE
The Der Riese Datenbediensteter (Data Servant) mainframe is mentioned in files that Dr. Vannevar 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

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. infiltrator 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. An other limerick hides the user and password for Dking on the CIA data system (DK-MFK).
