Re: The Manuall will be cracked in...

This is really pointless anyway. Probably the only organization in the country that could crack that encryption by Saturday would be the NSA. FIRST knew what they were doing when they released this. They knew that there was a very slim chance of the PDF encryption being broken by an amateur hacker in a space of 2 days. So to anyone who wants to try and crack it, go ahead, it would be a good lesson in cryptography, but I'll bet you money that it'll take you more that 2 days to do it, so in the end, it wont be unfair to anyone.
