First off, I want to tell everyone that this is not about pirating or any illegal activity if that is what you were thinking. I don't want to get myself kicked from the forum.

Anyway, apparently the UK is seeking to hire people for computer security related purposes and for some reason this crack it thing is getting a lot of publicity. I even heard about it on a US national news STATION. I gave it a try, and got somewhere, but failed to complete it.

I have concluded that the code is actually an assembly language program and that you have to use one part to decode the other or something and there is also a key stored in the header of the main png file on the page.

I figured I'd post this because I was surprised by the amount of publicity it was getting and I also thought BC_Programmer could probably solve it.

Here is the link: http://www.canyoucrackit.co.uk/index.aspI came across this after a simple search on Google:

And here's a blog post about this: http://www.alwaysbetesting.co.uk/seo/how-to-crack-the-gchq-code-breaking-competition-using-google/

Anyway, that was a good motivation. People who really solved the problem proved themselves that they can do it. And no, that wasn't any illegal activity at all.Quote
