Crack the code - FREE Ferrari!!! Maybe VERY hot if you can crack it :-)

[Gorby911]

Hey, maybe it is not necessary a hot deal, but if you have too much time on your hands and can break the code you'll get a FREE Ferrari 360 Challenge!! Now that is HOT!!! Good luck!

Ferrari 360 Challenge

 

[littleman]

alright, you L337 h4x0rs, crawl out of your hOLES!

 

[daMachine]

This is HOT. I graduated with a M.S. CS this winter and have yet to find a job. Finally, something to do with my time.

 

[Souka]

Heh

<< Utilizing a combination of Virtual Matrices and a 1,048,576 bit symmetric key, VME is impervious to brute force attacks. >>



No, not correct....just takes longer than other encryption keys..... hate statements like this :|

 

[fr]

They have a typo on the page. "Expired" instead of "expires."

 

[GRIFFIN1]

I give up. I couldn't read it in notepad.

Yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!

ROFLAMO.

LMFAO OMG AHHAAHHAAHA ROFL

god I'm going to cry

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA..... I tried that one too!!! No ferrari for me

 

[Slacker]

Will you laugh at me too? I am seeing what I can see with a Hex editor...........

How does the program we downloaded work? is that just to use to guess the password?

 

[Ogewo]

Ok i just installed linux so this should be a breeze. Step one will be to boot to linux, step two is call russia and see if they have any hackers in prison that i could talk to.

Hmm... From their web page:

One can argue that one day in far future, even a million bit will be broken - we agree.

Why do we keep pronounce VME is unbreakable, very simple:
When a transmission of conventional algorithm is sent, it includes an encrypted form of the actual data. Given that a hacker have enough computing power and time, any message can be deciphered. With the VME engine the case is different; the actual data is never transferred. Therefore, when intercepted by a hacker, the results will yield absolutely nothing.

I tried to read more about it, but I don't know much about cryptography, so I can't say much about this, other than they have some grammatical errors. It sounds interesting though... but so where is the data stored, or when is it transferred? Can some crypto experts explain a bit about how this works, or comment on the validity of their statement that their encryption technology is "unbreakable?"

 

[Princeman]

Wonder if my Green Lantern decoder ring will figure this one out?

 

[rgwalt]

If anyone wants to seriously work on this, I've got ready access to a large cluster computer of about 200 processors. If we can develop a distributed decryption scheme, I'd be all for it. The cluster is realitively unused, so we could get a lot of time on it. PM or e-mail me if you are interested.

Is that M.S. Counter-Strike? I might be wrong, but it's where i see all those l33t h4xorz!

 

[Souka]

<< I give up. I couldn't read it in notepad. >>



No, that won't work. Try Wordpad, it's much more advanced......

 

[VisionsUCI]

hahahhahahhahaha

 

[IronChefM]

sounds like a job for AT Distributed Computing

Now how to split a Ferrari between hundreds of ATers

 

[TurtleMan]

hahah funnie funnie

 

[XFreebie]

our overclocked computers can handle it. with a combined default speed of 2,873,369 Ghz overclocked to 4,287,872Ghz, that ferrari will be ours and we will use it as a GIANT HEATSINK!!!!!!!

 

[daMachine]

Could be? Haven't had the opportunity to play counter-strike; too many hot deals and not enough time.

 

[tigerbait]

Stanley Jobson could do it (Hugh Jackman's character in Swordfish)

 

[doorguy]

Is this for real? What's the point of having encryption when you never send the data anyways? And if the contest only goes until august they sure as hell won't have anyone cracking their "uncrackable" algorithm... there simply isn't enough time. I'll bet the Ferrari doesn't exist.

Check the WHOIS record. Address is:
19528 Ventura Blvd #317, Tarzana, CA 91356

But on the website, the contact address (for the worldwide headquarters) is:
16133 Ventura Blvd. Suite 640, Encino, California 91436

Driving directions between these two

Maybe they're legit, but it just seems wrong...

Edit: Here's some info (check the #2 for 1998) and some more. But so far everything is a press release only, and no one is really "talking" about it.

 

[CHAOSMAN]

the only reason i would consider doing this is if you were gonna buy a ferrari in the first place, other than that dont waste your time "cracking" cuz you'll go bald before u even get close
