Comments on: I pwned the FBI Cyphertext challenge in about 45 minutes using a pen and paper. http://c0nn0r.info/blog/2008/12/29/i-pwned-the-fbi-cyphertext-challenge-in-about-45-minutes-using-a-pen-and-paper/ Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:32:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Connor Dickie http://c0nn0r.info/blog/2008/12/29/i-pwned-the-fbi-cyphertext-challenge-in-about-45-minutes-using-a-pen-and-paper/#comment-18333 Connor Dickie Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:29:00 +0000 http://c0nn0r.info/blog/2008/12/29/i-pwned-the-fbi-cyphertext-challenge-in-about-45-minutes-using-a-pen-and-paper/#comment-18333 ^^^ I don't get some people. This person is clearly offended/jealous that I enjoyed cracking the FBI's official cypher challenge. So much so that s/he took the time to publicly deride my efforts. I urge this person to focus their energy in a more positive way. Clearly this person feels strongly about this topic. Perhaps consider writing your own encryption contest (replete with OTP and algorithm variation) to give us a better challenge. This way people will learn something and have fun. ^^^

You took www.fbi.gov and figured out the rest of the letters from that like everyone else. This wasnt a test from the FBI. If they really wanted to find a brain child they would have gave us an OTP encryption with some sort of algorithm variation. ohh woppdy doo.
