Master Boot Record
I like listening to instrumental music while I code, it helps keep me focused. On Bandcamp there’s an artist I like called Master Boot Record. The albums routinely contain “secrets” as the album description text. They are small easter egg like puzzles.
Below is a list of links to a post about each album and whether or not it I solved it.
Here are the albums and whether I’ve solved them ordered by release date:
