If you want just to hear HAARP sounds, it's at minute 18:20

This was fun until the password stage. I tried all the obvious including 'hunter2' then decided this is no fun whatsoever and had a brief dip into the javascript but couldn't find anything worth my time so ended it there.

ETA: Did another run through and it's obvious what the password is, no digging through code needed.

Yes same here, I rummaged around for the code in Javascript, ended up even finding some pages here:

I looked and looked and ended up guessing the password anyways... I won't give away the secret, except to say we have read some of the same Sci-Fi books. Still, just as an exercise I am still curious where the compare is being done to see where they stored the password (or are they doing it via calculation which would be a better way to obfuscate it rather than just a string).

Any more clues for the password.
Having a hard time figuring it out.

If we could just know the answer to everything, then we will know this password, too.

A French dude during Napoleon times was trying to calculate how the heat spread in a metal plate. What could go wrong?

About quarter of millennia later:
- 5G
- mobile phones
- WiFi
- mp3, Photoshop, CGI special effect
- digital oscilloscope, SA, VNA
- MRI, NMR
- crystallography, LHC
- astronomical spectroscopy
- insert almost whatever here ...

The dude's name was Fourier.
