Level 1 has been SOLVED with the entry of a correct keypad code. Doing so has kicked off a 30 day timer prior to the Level 2 opening. I'll drop a few hints during that time to help folks catch up:

Hint #1: The keypad code is derived entirely from the triangle + dot code. That and the URL for the text adventure are the only pieces of info needed from the painting to complete Level 1.

Any hints on roughly how long the final code is?

Hint #2: The final code was surprisingly long (> 100 characters) with all caps and no spaces.

Well, that throws my brute forcing scheme out the window. Tongue

Depends on how you implement your brute force - the text game checks the keypad code using an unprotected POST.

Yeah, I was using a custom tool to check for variations of my guesses, but I would never imagine that a "cell key" would be so big.
