This is entrance to foobar. It is pretty easy to figure out crossword using either a calculator to convert bases or (wolfram alpha for the lazy) and [0] for regex. I have not used regex in years, but got in easy.

all is trivial but regex, what data to use for those hints ?

Last time I visited, it had a message like "You can only log in if you have logged in before." Is this part new, or is it just a different way to enter?

This is completely different—the last site was targeting python devs.

It does not really matter. Either characters to use would be included in regex itself, such as [j-g] or you could use any.

For example "\D{2}\S{3}" means match 2 non-digit characters followed by 3 nonspace characters. Some things that match "aaaaa", "bbbbb", "ALUSD", "AA123"...

Site I linked really explains things quite well on mouseover. Once you complete first challenge (make sure you open this in chrome, I've had exciting quest of delete elements in firefox until I could save my solution) you can register and come back anytime later.
