    Can you crack the secret code in U.S. Cyber Command's logo

    The newly formed U.S. Cyber Command is supposed to centralize and focus the military's ability to wage war over the Internet, but so far it's basically famous for brainteasers. The command's fancy logo contains a super-secret code in its inner gold ring: 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a. Though some people noticed the code late last month, Wired's Threat Level Danger Room blog picked it up Wednesday morning and announced a contest, with a free T-shirt (or a ticket to the International Spy Museum) going to the first reader to crack the code.

          I ran the code through a PERL MD5 sum check with non-ascii salt and
          the code print as "fuckoff-motherfucker-USA-Hurray!".

                                                              We tried encrypting that entire statement using an MD5 hash generator, and we didn't get a match to the logo code. So it looks like just a portion of the statement has been encoded. Eventually someone will figure out which portion, and win a T-shirt

                                                                  They used the mission statement found on the official source. Since the source is a military intelligence agency, the military hackers changed their mission statement to confuse people, and maybe for a good laugh. Or for the sake of creating some publicity

                                                                  http://www.stratcom.mil/factsheets/cc/

                                                                  Notice the extra comma after synchronizes?

                                                                  This gives you the MD5 hash ac244cda9fa3ab16a2a51dc4f16b1547.

                                                                  If you remove the extra comma you will get

                                                                              They used the mission statement found on the official source. Since the source is a military intelligence agency, the military hackers changed their mission statement to confuse people, and maybe for a good laugh. Or for the sake of creating some publicity

                                                                              http://www.stratcom.mil/factsheets/cc/
