It's a bug with the website, the program works fine (unlike app 18, where there actually is a bug with the app last I checked).
The PHP implementation of the algorithm needs remade, using standard datatypes - PHPs generic datatype allows too much overhead so it never rolls-over (post 32-bit unsigned int, for instance), which the algorithm relies on.

I'm sure if you email an admin they can give you credit if you provide your key - they should have an internal keygen that they can check it against.

PS: Why am I here? O_o

There's really a bug in a program. On some usernames it is imposible to generate password at all. For example, my nick m0r0. I have a password in a format: HTS-120F-31XX, where XX is a hex-value. When program tries to calculate the last part it tries to substruct 31 (the last part it has been calculated) from the 30 (that is ASCII code of last character in my username). It is done by sub esi, eax instruction. Here we have sign overflow and the result value after some other operations would be FF9FFFFF. It is compared with XX and surely it is always wrong

I tried every possible combinations on the site itself but didn't succeed. It's really a bug, what can I do????

I have the same issue - the apps says congratulations but the website doesn't accept the serial/password.
To whom I can address this issue?

Thanks.

Hey fancy__04, it's a known reported bug issue. When it is taken off the bug list I will update in this topic. I can't say exactly when this will be fixed as there are other things going on right that take priority over this.

I was wondering if there was a bug in this?
Since my username is -Ninjex- (I guess the -'s are throwing it for a loop)

I manage to be able to put any name without special characters into my keygen and produce the right key.
When testing it with your program, it says congratulation try it on HTS.
Works for all names without special characters, any idea; or is it a a problem with my keygen do you think?

I can also provide proof via sending mods / admins the passwords associated to their names.
Assuming the mods/admins have completed the challenge

Looking at previous posts, it appears there is definitely a bug but not necessarily along the lines you're seeing. I can check into this for you though and see what the ETA on fixing it is (probably isn't one meaning it's probably not high on the list but I will check anyways).

IRC is a good place to find up to date information on things like this.

Thanks, I will be awaiting for your response.
As I said, when I run the keygen for any name without those characters, and use it with the application, it says it works.
Is it weird that IRC's actually frighten me?
I may check into the IRC though, *fingers crossed*
