From a technical perspective, I find threads like this interesting. I like discussions about how much computing horsepower is neneded for certain tasks, and how long they will take.

But from an ethical and moral perspective, we should not ever attempt to crack something of value that we do not own rights to.

What you should do is encrypt your own file, and then try to crack that.
If cracking the manual is so wrong, then why are they giving us the exact type of encryption? In my opinion, game developers want us to expand our skill set. After all, that's what FIRST is all about, right?
