Crack The Code - Thats A Direct Challenge
I Challenge You To Crack The Code
In most cases, this individual would have been right on the mark. On the other hand, I'm not sure he expected to challenge someone who has close associates with discretionary time on some of the most powerful computers in the world. 6 Hours, 2 Servers, 64GB of Memory, and 32 Processors Later

Let's Have Some Fun: A Challenge For You
Shortly after this experience, I started thinking about writing an article about it. Then I thought to myself, why write just an article? Why not come up with a challenge for our readers? Hidden in this article is information that will ultimately provide you with a phrase that has been encrypted. You will need to know a few pieces of general information such as, where to find the hash in this article, how to extract the hash from the article, what the password is that will reveal the hash, and what type of hash is being used! Still with me on this? You will need to do all this before you can start cracking the encrypted phrase. First, you need to find the hashed phrase located in this article. I'll give you a hint; I recently wrote an article about hiding messages in files. This article can be found on the Defending The Net Newsletter Archive. It is also in the www.CastleCops.com archive. Oh, and once you find where the hash is you will need a password to extract it. This one I am going to give away. The password to extract the hash is 'letmein' (without the ' ' of course). Then, you will need a tool that can easily handle deciphering of the hash once you extract it from this article. There are quite a few out there that will do the job, however, I highly recommend using pnva naq noyr i2.69, a publicly available security tool that no self respecting security engineer should be without. You will also need to know the type of hashing algorithm that was used. I decided to use zrffntr qvtrfg svir because it is relatively well-known. (Try saying that 13 times real fast!) Conclusion
