Crack the Code in Cyber Command's Logo
- openfly 16y agoIt's a hash. Not in any of my rainbow tables though =/
- Agent101 16y agoSo 128 bits? I'd guess they wouldn't use md5 (or any of the md family), which according to wiki leaves haval/ripemd/tiger. I'd go for ripemd-128 (on what the wiki says) although you would expect them to use a NSA blessed algorithm.
- jeffreyg 16y agojust curious, how do you know it's a hash?
- Groxx 16y agoThe same way that something which smells like feet is "known" to be a shoe. i.e.: zero proof, but good correlation.
- res0nat0r 16y agoIt is the same length as an md5sum which isn't solved. Googling 9EC4C12949A4F31474F299058CE2B22A bring up this strange site: http://www.niconnect.com/ http://www.niconnect.com/ Which just has a QR code on the front of the site and nothing else. Decoding the QR with http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx shows the text: NICONNECT.COM Poder Cibernetico 9EC4C12949A4F31474F299058CE2B22A Brazil "Poder Cibernetico" in Portuguese sounds like "Cyber Power" or something such.
- Agent101 16y agoThe above site has <meta http-equiv="Objective" content="Hash Exploit"> in as well. Poder is power in Latin as well. Cibernetico might be a latin translation of Cybernetic.... I'm expecting a Latin moto as per usual on these things. Still can't get the hash, tried a number of different capitalisations.
- TallGuyShort 16y agoIt's possible that "Poder Cibernetico" is how they chose to translate Cyber Command.
- chrischen 16y agoBut they also have the lighting in the heraldry, which is a symbol for power. Dunno what the swords might be, military?
- dedward 16y agoDid someone just chuck up that page to get some SEO juice out of all this buzz?
- WestCoastJustin 16y agoYes, I think so. If you look at the page source you see the 9EC4C12949A4F31474F299058CE2B22A string with text color 006600 and the background color is 006600.

- kmfrk 16y ago>The U.S. military’s new Cyber Command is headquartered at Ft. Meade, Maryland – one of the military’s most secretive and secure facilities. And yet they use something akin to viral marketing to raise awareness of its existence?
- CitizenKane 16y agoI imagine someone with some good GPU power could try and brute force the hash. With something like http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/ http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/ It would be interesting to see if anything comes out of it.
- jasongullickson 16y agoIt decodes to the email address of the recruiting officer... ...maybe :)
- tptacek 16y agoI didn't read this very carefully, but why does 128 bits automatically make it a hash? That's also the block size for AES, and the length of the string "US Cyber Command".
- mixmax 16y agoThat's what I thought. If they expect it to be cracked (which they might, why put it there if you don't expect anyone to crack it) it could be something much simpler. I'd maybe start looking at some sort of substitution scheme or something similar.
- HackerMe234 16y agoIt might mean something like a computer kill code or something
- bithub 16y agoecho md5('USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries.'); results in 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a
- jfwjrr 16y agoi bet they heard of some cyber attack on the government and they wanted to get all you geaks together and you'd come across what they wanted to know and then bam they take the credit and so on becuase they are stupid
- jfwjrr 16y agoor get this one they are looking for hackers and they well you all fell into their trap??? dunno lol conspiracies are born everyday.
- jfwjrr 16y agothe reason i say this is because i've tried cracking a few ways and for some reason they are stopped not by me but someone else.
