The last time I installed rogue (V3.6) the wizards password was in the machine
specific routines. This allowed the person doing the installing to check out
the various "features" and terminals with rogue. It gave you unlimited power to
create things, move around , and such like so that the game was entirely no
fun. Therefore the password can be obtained from the person who installed your
version. If you can login as root you can adb the object and force the wizard
flag on and not even need the password. I can't vouch for 5.x or superrogue or
PC-rogue, but it general when one gets the "ability" to win at rogue by
essentially cheating it rather sours the effect.

For us non-source sites, it seems the only way is to use adb
and force the wizard bit.
But wait! There's another way! The encrypted string for the
wizard's password is in two places in the binary. Do a 'strings
rogue' (if you have read access) and look for a string like:
Wizard's Password:
mCmhkKvrPBKK
or some such. Replace the gibberish with a encrypted known password.
Bingo.
(Use crypt(3), not crypt(1)).
I don't see why this should be a secret, anyway. As someone pointed
out, you can't get on the top 10 list, and it's no fun anyway.
Well, maybe a *little* fun.

Rogue ADB'ers Beware! I once set the wizard bit, confident that I would not appear on the high score list, and I wound up appearing on the high score list. If you think its no fun playing in wizard mode, it is even less fun actually winning. Dave Long

[] Yes, you can sometimes get to the high score list, even if you set the "wizard bit" to 1. In the version of the source that I have seen, there is also a value called "waswizard". Both get set when you become a "wizard," but only "wizard" gets reset when you exit wizard-mode (which can be done). However, the value in "waswizard" is checked to see if you make the high score list. -- Chris

Can you desribe how to "replace the password with an encrypted password" Do you actually replace it or what?? how do you replace it? how do you encrypt the password. Reply by mail. Thanx in advance. Rob.

you take your favorite password, encrypt it with you favorite key, and stuff both of them in instead of the ones already there using adb or some such program. finding out where these two items are is up to you. encryption is via DES. Herb Chong... I'm user-friendly -- I don't byte, I nybble....
