It is the same length as an md5sum which isn't solved. Googling 9EC4C12949A4F31474F299058CE2B22A bring up this strange site: <a href="http://www.niconnect.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.niconnect.com/</a><p>Which just has a QR code on the front of the site and nothing else. Decoding the QR with <a href="http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx" rel="nofollow">http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx</a> shows the text:<p>NICONNECT.COM Poder Cibernetico 9EC4C12949A4F31474F299058CE2B22A Brazil<p>"Poder Cibernetico" in Portuguese sounds like "Cyber Power" or something such.
>The U.S. military’s new Cyber Command is headquartered at Ft. Meade, Maryland – one of the military’s most secretive and secure facilities.<p>And yet they use something akin to viral marketing to raise awareness of its existence?
I imagine someone with some good GPU power could try and brute force the hash. With something like <a href="http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/" rel="nofollow">http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/</a><p>It would be interesting to see if anything comes out of it.
I 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".
i 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
