EnigmaGroup

This is Ausome1 from EnigmaGroup. I am writing to let everyone who used to know psychomarine, who owned EnigmaGroup.org that he has passed away.

You all might not remember me, but I certainly remember EG and how it helped get me to where I am today. I’m truly sorry to hear of his passing, and my condolences to everyone involved. Hoping for a better time moving forward.

That’s horrible news to hear ! Condolences to Chris’s family and friends, you shall be missed.

Yeah, he was in late 40s and died of heart attack in his wife’s arms. She called me the morning it happened. I would have let everyone know earlier but I had to beat the basic missions to post again. ;) I’ve let a few others know through social media that I had connections with.

That’s horrible, I hope she’s doing as well as can be expected.

You should have PM’ed or jumped into discord we would have allowed the post as many people here will remember Chris and the time he spent here back in the day.

Truly a big loss for everyone, RIP Chris

Wow I’m really sorry to hear that man, my heart goes out to his wife as it’s hard enough when you lose someone close to you, but to have them die in your arms must be truly fucking devastating. We didn’t agree on most things, but he always made me laugh. RIP big man.

oh wow! I will never forget our moments with him, good or bad. I enjoyed enigmagroup. Life can be a bitch and we have to make the best of it!! RIP Chris!

what will happen to EnigmaGroup.org and it’s source codes? I always thought their challenges was very good and fun

looks like the domain is up for grabs.

I’m working on getting the domain transferred to me. I reached out to his son to get me his login. As for the source code, that is probably gone. I do have some very old backups on a hard drive somewhere.

that would be great if you get it back up. good luck.

@Ausome1 let me know if you need some help with anything !

@Ausome1 Whats up bro been a long time since we spoke!! This is sad to hear about psycho. I actually just went to check in with eg and found it down so started the sleuthing and ended up here. Had to spend like 7 whole seconds to get past the prereqs to post LOL. Are you still in contact with anyone else from eg? aVoid or anyone? I miss wasting my days in the irc with you guys! Sending vibes to the psycho fam.

This is very sad. I remember getting Lifetime VIP for $13.37 - I’ve never known a Wargaming site to offer Lifetime access for $13. My deepest Condolences. This is a horrible thing to happen. I wish I was more active on there so I could have spoken to psychomarine more :( @Ausome1 - I pray that you can get the domain transferred and backed up. I wish I knew how to run a Wargaming website. I don’t even know where to start….. I don’t know anything about Simulations.

You are all amazing guys.

Thank you. Kind Regards, Lettuce.

I’m very sad, after many years, you may see a decade i finally found the enigmagroup but sadly i heard that “psychomarine” is dead, he was among the first guys who make me love hacking and coding, Thank you psychomarine for making us enjoyed hacking and coding you may rest now buddy

Sadly the domain now has new owners.

Answer: Use a spy app. 🧐 lol wtf !

It would have been nice if we could have hosted some of their challenges here, as some of them were really good.

I know there was some inter-site cooperation away back in the beyond, and that it all turned sour, but I still think it would be be a nice nod to PsychoMarine if we could somehow preserve something from his site here.

Maybe if Ausome1 or any of their other admins ever read this, they can chip in with an opinion, as they knew him better.

I was thinking about the good old days of EG and went searching and I stumbled across this post. I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Chris. He as well as Ausome1 helped so many of us get a footing in the hacking world from years ago. I remember the late night IRC days and some of the parties he would host. I might have some of the source code to some of the challenges still, at least some of the realistic challenges I coded up. Those were fun times that seem like forever ago. Good to see you’re still around Ausome1 if you ever see this! You as well Psiber! Has anyone heard from haZed in all these years?

Off Topic: It’s good to see HBH is still around. Looks like it has changed quite a bit over the years. I probably still have the entire HBH source dump from way back in the day as well. Was a classic rivalry between EG and HBH.

It’s still the good old days here on HBH bro.

I’m sorry you had to find out about Psycho from a Google search….. but I suppose that’s just how it is nowadays.

Anyway, I’d deffo like to preserve some of those challenges here, if you’ve still got them, as some of them were really good.

I still remember getting an http brute script as a reward for solving some challenge, then later on creating a custom word list and using it to solve one of the realistics …. and OMG it made me feel like such a big man. ☺️
