The Beast Inside Password

[Dardo Hameed]

Adamwill start out in the middle of a forest (near the front of a mine tunnel). Adam will have train tracks ahead of him and behind him will be tracks and a mine cart along with the entrance to the mines.

Pick up A Crank in the blue container along the table to the left. Grab the Notes From the Camp lying on a box at the foot of the bed to the right. Finally, take the Map on the table directly ahead. You can flip the Map over to find some codes on the back of it.

Run down the stairs ahead then follow the path at the bottom of the stairs. When you appear to reach a dead end with a fallen tree, look off to the right and approach the steel piece that extends out past the wooden wall to the right of it. Turn around and look at the back of the wooden wall to find a rope on it that you can use to get down the ground below. Run down the narrow path and use the pickaxe on the rock pile. Eventually your house will come into views. Cross the stream and a cutscene will trigger.

Follow the blue wire back to the control box at the electrified gate. Use the switch on the control box to shut off the power to the electrified gate. Open the gate and continue along the path on the other side.

While in the building, you need to figure out the code for the computer in order to unlock the basement doors. The computer is on a table to the right when you first walk in. You have to learn the correct coordinates for the graph on the computer and then you have to use those coordinates to decipher the password. You also have a time limit in order to end the password or else the graph will reset. There is no concrete password. The password will always be different. The only thing that is concrete in deciphering the password are the coordinates for the graph.

Open the door to the room beside the stairs then step inside. Check out the bulletin board near the door and take the Notes on Adam and Emma from the lower right side of the board and the Secret Notes of a Soviet Spy from the left side of the board. That gives you all the notes and hidden messages for this chapter! Before you do anything else in the room, go upstairs.

Alright, go back down to the room near the stairs. Interact with the table that has the lamp, clipboard and invisible ink on it. Interact with the clipboard to place the Page Left By the Spy on it. Turn on the lamp by interacting with it then a coordinate will be exposed on the paper (C-1). Step back out of the room.

Leave the building then walk over to the basement door and open them. Walk into the second room then open the door in the back. Approach the body to trigger a cutscene. Interact with the note on the clipboard for some extra info then interact with the paper to the right of the note to trigger a cutscene that will end this chapter.

Looking at our debug printouts, we only get to the "DEBUG: Set host field printout." When running the code outside of the container environment on the physical host machines, it runs fine and is able to successfully communicate across the network.

Originally, the container used the RHEL UBI minimal image 7.9. As part of our debugging efforts, we rebuilt it using the standard UBI image and found the same freezing behavior. Installing gdb into the container image and shelling into the running container to attach to the binary with the code reveals the following stack trace:

As far as we can tell from the gdb output, the boost::beast code is just sitting in a dead loop for some reason. The strangest part is that the code appears to be very innocuous as it's just setting some fields inside the class. There's no network code or any kind of weird multithreading that could lead to a race condition involved.

The only thing that has changed is the upgrading of boost versions, and if we revert the boost version the code runs fine again. However, because boost::json is only available starting in boost 1.75, we need to upgrade, so simply hanging back on the version isn't really an option for us.

Edit (curiouser and curiouser): We broke the code down into an even more minimal example that only calls the boost beast set method, and found that it does run inside a container, so we went back to the full code (just the function) and found that, by itself, also appears to run in a container when used in a minimal unit test. The problem appears to come with the full application itself. The only difference is that the full app is multithreaded, but even so, this code is only being used in a single thread, so it makes no sense for there to be a deadlock hazard given that fact, especially since it worked fine in 1.67.0.

The gist:The full REST code is in a C++ class which implements an interface. I noticed that the code which ultimately used this class accepted a reference, rather than a shared_ptr, something like the following:

To be honest, when I noticed this code, I was surprised to find it even compiled. Long story short, it appeared to be an oversight when we created the endpoint finder interface (previously it had been a single class that used a custom microservice rather than the K8s API).

When I changed the above to use a shared_ptr, rather than a reference, the code no longer froze. Considering the correct code appeared to be getting invoked whether it was a reference or a shared_ptr, I'm not sure why this would have an effect.

These are the only two changes we made to the code, and either of them alone or together seems unlikely to have fixed the issue. We've exercised the code pretty heavily since it stopped freezing up, so it seems stable. We're at a loss to explain the problem or why these relatively simple changes seemed to have fixed it.

What is fear, fear is an emotional response to visual and auditory stimulation brought on by danger and or the perception of danger. The horror genre has been able to play on those emotions to deliver games that will make you jump out of your seat or even have issues sleeping at night. The beast inside takes the player through a story of past and present while solving puzzles and obstacles. This, of course, is while being shocked and frightened at various turns. This is our review of The Beast Inside.

I would say this game falls in the same lines as Amnesia: the Dark decent as they have very similar mechanics. Do not get me wrong I am not bagging on this at all in fact for me this is a plus. Recently I have been lucky to experience a bit more of the horror genre than before and has allowed me to experience different mechanics and ideas that are very indulgent to me. One of my favorite mechanics is the ability to interact with my environment, by having this type of interaction a player will have a better sense of being part of the story. When I think of being immersed I do not think just a good story is everything. At times you need to feel like you are right there getting your hands dirty and of course, getting randomly scared out of your mind is key.

Graphically speaking the game is very appealing as the developer has made good use of the unreal engine combined with a 3D Scanned environment. The texturing of the models is very well on point with only minor glitches from time to time. The attention to detail on each area very well thought out and plenty of items to interact with. Some items even hold hints or messages to help drive the story. Right at the start, you find a hidden spot with a box that requires you to break the code in order to access it. This immediately thrilled me as puzzles and challenges really get my mind working. I will admit at first it took me a moment to realize when the game switched from one character to another, I thought at first I was merely transferred in time or seeing the past. Well once the reality of what was going on set in and my dumb moment was over I moved on.

The overall gameplay as mentioned was focused on interactions but after a few hours in-game it does seem to switch focus to a more of a First-person Shooter. This of course for me was easy to overlook as story-driven games often need to include various elements to keep things going. The controls were tested both with a traditional keyboard and mouse as well as the use of a wired USB Xbox controller. Both were fairly easy to adjust to and play with no input lag.

Some folders have names which indicate they might've been libraries in original project, but were all extracted and put into directory structure instead. For example, I see a folder "vi.lib", and inside there's a folder "dlg_ctls.llb".

This likely won't get you very far. Yes you have the files that are in the EXE extracted which is useful. And in theory you should be able to add all those files to a project and rebuild it. But if you are trying to do this so you can rebuild in a newer version of LabVIEW, or so you can edit some part of the EXE, then you aren't going to be able to.

When a set of VIs are turned into a binary, they are compiled for that that target and runtime version. Then in almost all situations the block diagrams are removed, and in many cases the front panels are removed. What is in the EXE is then still VI files but most are just the compiled component with no source, and no way to edit them. If when you built the EXE debugging was enabled then block diagrams and front panels will still be included, and then extracting the files will mean you can get the VI source out, and then it can be recompiled or edited like any normal VI. So the files you extracted could probably be added to a project, and then rebuilt, but you won't be able to edit anything in any of the VIs. I guess you might be able to replace one of the VIs with a new one from source if you recreate all the functionality of it, and have the same connector pane and name but I've never tried that. Still anything you discover is good information and the community welcomes any thing you are able to figure out.
