Re: 2014 Encrypted Competition Manual

I don't usually post on Chief Delphi, but when I do its on discussions about encryption...

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how a discussion reiterating the complete uselessness of trying to break AES encryption in a few days (or centuries) with modern computers would be a rules violation? Given the length and complexity of FIRST passwords, you start to approach "eons" in actual time to brute force an AES crack with typical computers.

I guess I think its a bit unsporting to post on a thread JUST to ask the mods to eliminate it because you don't think its useful? Just my opinion.

That being said, AES can be broken instantly, and the resources to do that are out there, but lets just say that you would have to be a "former friend of Eddie" to have those abilities at your fingertips. I'm not one, btw. But I do know how they do it.
