Scott Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I tell a lie, I gave it a go. I started by googling the first line of, what I assume is, the hex. It came up with a few links, one of which said it might be some sort of enrollment program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Don't tell me, or you'll have to kill me. He doesn't realise he has activated a self destruct sequence in his body installed at his GCHQ training!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I tell a lie, I gave it a go. I started by googling the first line of, what I assume is, the hex. It came up with a few links, one of which said it might be some sort of enrollment program? Yes it's hex but it's a bitmap that needs rekeying and that takes blooming ages. We found the server was hosted in London at Rackspace, registered by fasthosts though for some reason. Tried to nmap it from a friend's server there but just got 404s. We were wondering if we'd get a prize if we just cracked the server with an SQL injection vector or something, but then thought it probably not best to mess with GCHQ. Still, this has given me something to do for the next few days. Happy to give hints over the next few days I'm not a cryptographer by profession, I just find it interesting.
