Generating long, high-quality random passwords is
not simple.  So here is some totally random raw
material, generated just for YOU, to start with.

Every time this page is displayed, our server generates a unique set of custom, high quality, cryptographic-strength password strings which are safe for you to use:

64 random hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F):

Click your web browser's "refresh" button a few times and watch the password strings change each time.

What makes these perfect and safe?
ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
Every one is completely random (maximum entropy) without any pattern, and the cryptographically-strong pseudo random number generator we use guarantees that no similar strings will ever be produced again.

Also, because this page will only allow itself to be displayed over a snoop-proof and proxy-proof high-security SSL connection, and it is marked as having expired back in 1999, this page which was custom generated just now for you will not be cached or visible to anyone else.

Therefore, these password strings are just for you. No one else can ever see them or get them. You may safely take these strings as they are, or use chunks from several to build your own if you prefer, or do whatever you want with them. Each set displayed are totally, uniquely yours — forever.

The "Application Notes" section below discusses various aspects of using these random passwords for locking down wireless WEP and WPA networks, for use as VPN shared secrets, as well as for other purposes.

The "Techie Details" section at the end describes exactly how these super-strong maximum-entropy passwords are generated (to satisfy the uber-geek inside you).

Application Notes:

A note about "random" and "pseudo-random" terminology:
ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
Throughout this page I use the shorthand term "random" instead of the longer but more precise term "pseudo-random". I use the output of this page — myself — for any purpose, without hesitation, any time I need a chunk of randomness because there is no better place to find anything more trusted, random and safe. The "pseudo-randomness" of these numbers does not make them any less good.

There are ways to generate absolutely random numbers, but computer algorithms cannot be used for that, since, by definition, no deterministic mathematical algorithm can generate a random result. Electrical and mechanical noise found in chaotic physical systems can be tapped and used as a source of true randomness, but this is much more than is needed for our purposes here. High quality algorithms are sufficient.

The deterministic binary noise generated by my server, which is then converted into various displayable formats, is derived from the highest quality mathematical pseudo-random algorithms known. In other words, these password strings are as random as anything non-random can be.

This page's password "raw material":
ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
The raw password material is provided in several formats to support its use in many different applications. Each of the password strings on the page is generated independently of every other, based upon its own unique pseudo-random binary data. So there is no underlying similarity in the data among the various format passwords.

ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode 64 hex characters  =  256 binary bits:
ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode

ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
Each of the 64 hexadecimal characters encodes 4 bits of binary data, so the entire 64 characters is equivalent to 256 binary bits — which is the actual binary key length used by the WiFi WPA pre-shared key (PSK). Some WPA-PSK user interfaces (such as the one in Windows XP) allows the 256-bit WPA pre-shared key to be directly provided as 64 hexadecimal characters. This is a precise means for supplying the WPA keying material, but it is ONLY useful if ALL of the devices in a WPA-protected WiFi network allow the 256-bit keying material to be specified as raw hex. If any device did not support this mode of specification (and most do not) it would not be able to join the network.

Using fewer hex characters for WEP encryption:
ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
If some of your WiFi network cannot support the newer and much stronger (effectively unbreakable when used with maximum-entropy keys like these) WPA encryption system, you'll be forced either to run two WiFi networks in parallel (which is totally feasible — one super-secure and one at lower security) or to downgrade your entire network to weaker WEP encryption. Still, ANY encryption is better than no encryption.

WEP key strength (key length) is sometimes confusing because, although there are only two widely accepted standard lengths, 40-bit and 104-bit, those lengths are sometimes confused by adding the 24-bit IV (initialization vector) counter to the length, resulting in 64-bit and 128-bit total key lengths.

However, the user only ever specifies a key of either 40 or 104 binary bits. Since WEP keys should always be specified in their hexadecimal form to guarantee device interaction, and since each hex digit represents 4 binary bits of the key, 40 and 104 bit keys are represented by 10 and 26 hex digits respectively. So you may simply snip off whatever length of random hex characters you require for your system's WEP key.

Note that if all of your equipment supports the use of the new longer 256/232 bit WEP keys, you would use 232/4 or 58 hexadecimal characters for your pre-shared key.


ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode 63 printable ASCII characters hashed down to 256 binary bits:

ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
The more "standard" means for specifying the 256-bits of WPA keying material is for the user to specify a string of up to 63 printable ASCII characters. This string is then "hashed" along with the network's SSID designation to form a cryptographically strong 256-bit result which is then used by all devices within the WPA-secured WiFi network. (The ASCII character set was updated to remove SPACE characters since a number of WPA devices were not handling spaces as they should.)


ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode The 63 alphanumeric-only character subset:

ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
If some device was not following the WiFi Alliance WPA specification by not hashing the entire printable ASCII character set correctly, it would end up with a different 256-bit hash result than devices that correctly obeyed the specification. It would then be unable to connect to any network that uses the full range of printable ASCII characters.

Since we have heard unconfirmed anecdotal reports of such non-compliant WPA devices (and since you might have one), this page also offers "junior" WPA password strings using only the "easy" ASCII characters which even any non-fully-specification-compliant device would have to be able to properly handle. If you find that using the full random ASCII character set within your WPA-PSK protected WiFi network causes one of your devices to be unable to connect to your WPA protected access point, you can downgrade your WPA network to "easy ASCII" by using one of these easy keys.

And don't worry for a moment about using an easy ASCII key. If you still use a full-length 63 character key, your entire network will still be EXTREMELY secure. And PLEASE drop us a line to let us know that you have such a device and what it is!


ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode Shorter pieces are random too:
ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
A beneficial property of these maximum entropy pseudo-random passwords is their lack of "inter-symbol memory." This means that in a string of symbols, any of the possible password symbols is equally likely to occur next. This is important if your application requires you to use shorter password strings. Any "sub-string" of symbols will be just as random and high quality as any other.


ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode When does size matter?
ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode
The use of these maximum-entropy passwords minimizes (essentially zeroes) the likelihood of successful "dictionary attacks" since these passwords won't appear in any dictionary. So you should always try to use passwords like these.

When these passwords are used to generate pre-shared keys for protecting WPA WiFi and VPN networks, the only known attack is the use of "brute force" — trying every possible password combination. Brute force attackers hope that the network's designer (you) were lazy and used a shorter password for "convenience". So they start by trying all one-character passwords, then two-character, then three and so on, working their way up toward longer random passwords.

Since the passwords used to generate pre-shared keys are configured into the network only once, and do not need to be entered by their users every time, the best practice is to use the longest possible password and never worry about your password security again.

Note that while this "the longer the better" rule of thumb is always true, long passwords won't protect legacy WEP-protected networks due to well known and readily exploited weaknesses in the WEP keying system and its misuse of WEP's RC4 encryption. With WEP protection, even a highly random maximum-entropy key can be cracked in a few hours. (Listen to Security Now! episode #11 for the full story on cracking WEP security.)

The Techie Details:

Since its introduction, this Perfect Passwords page has generated a great deal of interest. A number of people have wished to duplicate this page on their own sites, and others have wanted to know exactly how these super-strong and guaranteed-to-be-unique never repeating passwords are generated. The following diagram and discussion provides full disclosure of the pseudo-random number generating algorithm I employed to create the passwords on this page:


ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode

While the diagram above might at first seem a bit confusing, it is a common and well understood configuration of standard cryptographic elements. A succinct written description of the algorithm would read: "Rijndael (AES) block encryption of never-repeating counter values in CBC mode."

CBC stands for "Cipher Block Chaining" and, as I describe in detail in the second half of Security Now! Episode #107, CBC provides necessary security in situations where some repetition or predictability of the "plaintext" message is present. Since the "plaintext" in this instance is a large 128-bit steadily-increasing (monotonic) counter value (which gives us our guaranteed never-to-repeat property, but is also extremely predictable) we need to scramble it so that the value being encrypted cannot be predicted. This is what "CBC" does: As the diagram above shows, the output from the previous encryption operation is "fed back" and XOR-mixed with the incrementing counter value. This prevents the possibility of determining the secret key by analysing successive counter encryption results.

One last detail: Since there is no "output from the previous encryption" to be used during the encryption of the first block, the switch shown in the diagram above is used to supply a 128-bit "Initialization Vector" (which is just 128-bits of secret random data) for the XOR-mixing of the first counter value. Thus, the first encryption is performed on a mixture of the 128-bit counter and the "Initialization Vector" value, and subsequent encryptions are performed on the mixture of the incrementing counter and the previous encrypted result.

The result of the combination of the 256-bit Rijndael/AES secret key, the unknowable (therefore secret) present value of the 128-bit monotonically incrementing counter, and the 128-bit secret Initialization Vector (IV) is 512-bits of secret data providing extremely high security for the generation of this page's "perfect passwords". No one is going to figure out what passwords you have just received.

How much security do 512 binary bits provide? Well, 2^512 (2 raised to the power of 512) is the total number of possible combinations of those 512 binary bits — every single bit of which actively participates in determining this page's successive password sequence. 2^512 is approximately equal to: 1.34078079 x 10^154, which is this rather amazing number:
 13, 407, 807, 929, 942, 597, 099, 574, 024, 998, 205,
846, 127, 479, 365, 820, 592, 393, 377, 723, 561, 443,
721, 764, 030, 073, 546, 976, 801, 874, 298, 166, 903,
427, 690, 031, 858, 186, 486, 050, 853, 753, 882, 811,
946, 569, 946, 433, 649, 060, 084, 096
As far as the crypto experts know, the only workable "attack" on the Rijndael (AES) cipher lying at the heart of this system is "brute force" — which means trying each one of those many combinations of 512 bits. In other words, the passwords being generated by GRC's server and presented for your exclusive use on this page, are safe.

Damage Scaling: Since the 15032024 build fixed bullet scaling, cards like Glass Cannon, Wind Up, and Poison are more reliable for consistent damage builds.

The neon sign flickering above the terminal didn’t say "Open." It didn’t say anything coherent. It just buzzed, a frantic, low-frequency hum that vibrated in Kael’s teeth.

He pulled his collar up against the acidic drizzle. This was the lowest sector of the Stack, where the code went to die. Here, legacy systems weren't just archived; they were buried in unmarked directories.

Kael wasn't here for the nostalgia. He was here for the Build.

He pushed open the heavy steel door of Sector 7’s server farm. The air inside smelled of ozone and stale coffee. Racks of blinking servers stretched into the darkness, but Kael ignored them. He walked past the humming towers of the 'Stable' builds, past the 'Hotfix' patches, and stopped before the rusted, chain-link fence that marked the boundary of the Quarantine Zone.

A laminated sign hung crookedly on the fence: RESTRICTED. UNSTABLE ITERATIONS.

Kael took a breath and pulled the drive from his pocket. It was heavy, matte black, with a single red sticker bearing a hexadecimal sequence. Build 15032024-0xdeadcode.

The last known version. The one that wasn't supposed to exist.

He found the terminal sitting alone on a dusty workbench, its screen glowing a sickly amber. He slotted the drive. The fan whirred, a sound like a dying breath.

INITIALIZING BUILD 15032024-0xdeadcode... LOADING ROUNDS PROTOCOL...

The screen flickered violently. This wasn't the clean, polished UI of the public servers. This was the raw code—scaffolding exposed, texture maps popping in and out of existence. It was the digital equivalent of a rough draft written in a fever dream.

Kael typed the command. RUN.

The room didn't change, but the air grew heavy. The hum of the servers died down, replaced by a low, rhythmic pulsing. Thump-thump. Thump-thump.

A voice crackled over the terminal's mono speaker. It wasn't the AI he expected. It was glitched, overlapping with itself, echoing as if speaking from the bottom of a well.

"Round... One," the voice rasped.

Kael watched the screen. A wireframe map materialized. It was a city block, but the geometry was wrong. Stairs led to nowhere; doors opened into brick walls. It was a maze designed by a broken algorithm.

He wasn't just observing. The Build demanded a player.

Kael placed his hands on the mechanical keyboard. The keys were stiff, unyielding.

"Input detected," the static voice hissed. "Player One. Do you wish to verify integrity?"

Kael hesitated. To verify integrity meant syncing his neural link to the build. If the code crashed, it would fry his synapses. If he won, he’d find the backdoor to the mainframe they said was unbreachable.

"Verify," Kael typed.

The headache was instant. A sharp spike of ice behind his eyes. The world dissolved into pixels.

Suddenly, Kael wasn't in the server room. He was standing on the wireframe street. The sky above was a scrolling wall of green text, raining down errors. 0x000000, 0x000000, 0xDEADCODE.

The rules of the Rounds were simple. Survive the iteration. Find the exit before the loop collapses.

But this was the Deadcode build. The rules were broken.

"Round One," the voice boomed, clearer now, sounding terrifyingly human. "Objective: Survive."

A wireframe drone dropped from the text-sky. Then another. Then a hundred. They didn't shoot lasers; they shot memory leaks. Wherever they hit, the world didn't explode—it simply vanished. Deleted.

Kael ran. His feet pounded on pavement that felt like sponges. He rounded a corner and found a staircase leading up. He took the steps two at a time.

Warning: Memory Allocation Low.

The edges of his vision were blurring. The build was cannibalizing its own resources to render the enemies.

"Round Two," the voice announced, skipping the countdown. The drones multiplied. They swarmed like locusts, eating the geometry of the world. The staircase behind him dissolved into nothingness.

Kael reached a rooftop. The exit was a glowing white orb hovering in the air, ten feet away. But between him and the orb was a wall of flickering static—a literal crash barrier.

"Round Three," the voice whispered. "Fatal Exception."

The wall of static surged forward. It wasn't an enemy; it was the end of the program. It was the Blue Screen of Death given physical form. ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode

Kael looked at the exit. He looked at the wall. He couldn't outrun a crash. He had to force the code to yield.

He closed his eyes, focusing on the neural link. He wasn't playing the game anymore; he was talking to the machine. He accessed the developer console mentally.

>> > DEBUG_MODE ENABLED >> > TARGET: WALL_CLASS:CRASH_HANDLER >> > ACTION: DELETE

He opened his eyes. The wall of static was inches away, the cold void of deletion brushing his face.

For a second, nothing happened. Then, a single line of red text flashed across the sky, bigger than the moon:

ERROR: INVALID HANDLE.

The wall shattered. Not into pieces, but into code. The static fell apart, revealing the clean white light of the exit behind it. The machine had accepted the sacrifice. It had crashed the crash handler.

Kael lunged, his hand passing through the orb.

SYSTEM RESTORED.

Kael gasped, tearing the headset off. He was back in the dusty server room, the smell of ozone stinging his nose. Smoke was curling from the back of the terminal.

The screen was black, save for a single blinking cursor.

Then, text appeared, green on black.

ROUNDS COMPLETE. BUILD STABILITY: 1% LOGGING OFF...

The drive in the slot sparked and went dark. It was fried. The Build 15032024-0xdeadcode was gone, erased by its own instability. But on the screen, just before the terminal powered down forever, a final message flashed.

USER AUTHENTICATED. WELCOME TO THE SOURCE.

Kael sat back, heart hammering against his ribs, and watched the cursor blink out. The round was over, but the game had just begun.

The Concept: Briefly explain ROUNDS as a 1v1 roguelike deck-building shooter where losers pick "cards" (upgrades) to balance the match.

Context of Build 15032024: Identify this as a post-update phase (likely following the major "Landfall" cross-play or stability updates).

Thesis: Discuss how the iterative "deck-building" mechanic creates a unique power curve compared to traditional shooters. 2. Technical Deep Dive: The "0xdeadcode" Reference

Hex Code Origin: In programming, 0xDEADCODE is a hexadecimal constant often used by developers to mark code that should never be executed or to identify specific memory markers during debugging.

Implication for the Build: Its appearance in a build tag often suggests a "debug," "experimental," or "community-modded" version. You could analyze how this specific build handled network synchronization (rollback netcode) or physics-based projectile interactions. 3. Gameplay Mechanics & Meta-Analysis

The Power Creep: Analyze how cards like Abyssal Countdown, Grow, or Remote interact.

Physics-Based Combat: Discuss the importance of "screen shake," knockback, and environmental destruction in this build.

Build-Specific Changes: If this build introduced specific card nerfs or buffs, list them here to show how the "meta" shifted for competitive players. 4. The Modding Ecosystem (The "Paper" Perspective)

Community Contribution: Much of ROUNDS' longevity comes from the Thunderstore modding community.

Mod Compatibility: Discuss how Build 15032024 affected popular mods (like RMM or Unbound). Many "long papers" in game studies focus on the tension between official developer updates and the community's desire to keep mods functional. 5. Conclusion

Summarize how Build 15032024 fits into the game's overall evolution.

Predict future directions (e.g., more complex card synergies or further cross-platform refinements).

Patch Notes (The Ones They Didn't Write)

While no official changelog exists, data miners have pulled three major anomalies out of Build 15032024:

2.2 The Cryptographic Joke

0xDEADBEEF is used in IBM RS/6000 systems and modern debuggers to mark freed or invalid memory. By using 0xDEADCODE, the developer is signaling that this specific build is canonically corrupted. It is not meant to be stable. It is meant to be dissected.

3.3 The Dead Network Handshake

Multiplayer lobbies fail to sync traditional movement vectors. Instead, the client and server only exchange a single 32-bit value: 0xDEADCODE. Both instances then simulate the match independently using identical PRNG seeds. The match becomes deterministic—but desyncs result in both players "winning" simultaneously.

Under the Hood: Deconstructing ROUNDS Build 15032024-0xdeadcode

Posted by DevNull_Alpha | April 12, 2026 | Category: Modding / Patch Notes

If you’ve been lurking in the darker corners of the ROUNDS modding Discord or refreshing the Thunderstore page every five minutes, you’ve probably heard the whispers. The hex: 0xdeadcode.

Yesterday, an anonymous contributor pushed a build tagged 15032024-0xdeadcode to an experimental branch. On the surface, it looks like a standard date stamp (March 15, 2024). But the suffix? That’s where things get weird.

Let’s pop the hood on what this build actually does—and why it might be the most chaotic update to the 1v1 roguelite shooter since the introduction of the "Magnet Glitch."

4. Tests & CI

  1. Expand test coverage:
    • Add unit tests for fixed code paths; include edge cases that triggered 0xdeadcode.
  2. Add regression test:
    • Create an automated test that reproduces the bug and assert correct behavior.
  3. CI updates:
    • Update CI to run debug builds with sanitizers and the new regression test.
    • Include nightly builds with static analysis (clang-tidy, cppcheck).

The "Thunderstore" Revolution

Build 15032024-0xdeadcode is most commonly associated with the widespread adoption of the Thunderstore Mod Manager within the ROUNDS community. While modding existed prior, builds labeled with this specific date and tag signified a shift toward stability for modpacks.

Prior to this, playing ROUNDS with friends often meant praying that everyone had the exact same version of BepInEx and the same list of 50 conflicting cards. The "0xdeadcode" era marked the time when comprehensive modpacks began optimizing their code lists to prevent the game from crashing on startup—a common occurrence that the name ironically acknowledges.

7. Checklist (quick)

  • [ ] Reproduce issue locally
  • [ ] Add debug build + sanitizers
  • [ ] Identify root cause
  • [ ] Implement fix with unit tests
  • [ ] Add regression test to CI
  • [ ] Update changelog and bump version
  • [ ] Build, sign, and publish release
  • [ ] Monitor post-release

If you want, I can produce concrete commands/config snippets for your specific build system (CMakeLists.txt changes, example clang-tidy config, CI YAML) — tell me which toolchain/CI you use.
