Nullcon HackIM 2014 :: Trivia 1-5

Trivia 1 :
This esoteric programming language uses AWSUM THX and O NOES as error handling.
Searching for "AWSUM THX" and the top entry is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE
So the answer is "LOLCODE"

Trivia 2 :

If you had watched the movie "Tron", you might remember names like MCP but the actual software used to hack into ENCOM is "CLU"

Trivia 3 :
Outcome of Stealth Project to make coffee.
"Java" :D

Trivia 4 :
Successor of the DEAD persistent object format
DEAD persistent object format basically refers to Java Class file. It has been eventually replaced by RMI. :D

Trivia 5 :
Oheebhtuf O6700 "havavgvnyvmrq" zrzbel (48-ovg)
If you do a quick google for "havavgvnyvmrq", the top hit might be http://easyciphers.com/uninitialized
Looking at the page, you will realised it's a Caesar Cipher shift or simply ROT13.
You will get "Burroughs B6700 "uninitialized" memory (48-bit)"

Using the new found clues, "Burroughs B6700 "uninitialized" memory (48-bit)"
You will find the following page.

The "uninitialised" memory is actually "0xBADBADBADBAD" which is the answer. :D
