Can you see it? It's inside the gold ring between the United States Cyber Command and the American bald eagle. A secret hexadecimal code. The key to all America's secrets. Or their favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd's song.

This is the code: 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a

Danger Room's has a hint:

While there a few different proposals during the design phase, in the end the choice was obvious and something necessary for every military unit: The mission.

it is MD5 hash, here is what it says:

USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries.

nicely done Max.

Send it in!

i emailed it to the guy but i'm sure loads of people found it already. I think it's on the comments on the linked page too. pretty cool way of putting a full mission statement into a seal though

Sir Maximus does it again! :roll:

My question is how did you figure out it was MD5?

[MaximusR3]

lol lucky guess i suppose. from the look of it i figured it was going to be MD5 or SHA1 or 2, so i found an MD5 decrypter online and plugged it in. didn't even have to go looking for a SHA one :D

[shockjock619]

hard to believe such a small set of numbers and letters can say that much too....

leave it to the secret squirrel guys to dream that up!

Here's a tool for MD5 encrypt/decrypt, http://www.md5encrypter.com/

That is cool as hell and crazy whoever came up with it.

How the hell did you double decrypt that? That system is awesome but not really if they have a website to go to like that one. :lol:

[CrzyChinook]

WOW Easter eggs in real life!!! who ever made that was a gamer!!!lol
