Awesome. Thanks!

Hmmmmmmmm.... 2:45ET and still no manual. Not that I'm impatient........

3 pm --- tap tap tap.
I just want to download it and go home -- my de-encoder program is on the Cray at home.
Obviously FIRST is connected to the same clocks at our high school; none of them have the right time either.

3:16 pm: manual is available

[synth3tk]

It's uploaded now.

And the password is not "Triangle!Circle?Square!" Just putting that out there. The home computer should crack it soon -- the software claims 70 hours for a document that size.

Don't worry, I don't actually read them until after Kickoff. I follow the programmers motto: With great power comes great responsibility, and all.

Hmm. My decryption software says it'll take more like 74 hours. At that rate, I'll get it opened about 3 hours after the password is released.

[Roger]

Yeah, I know the version you have, which is why I stay with the older Visual Basic 3 one. I juiced it up and trims off a couple of hours.

Haha. I'm surprised nobody made a Bruteforcing@Home yet.

What did they use to encode the game manual?

Thanks to all who replied. I got the manual now, and to me it kind of figures that after I ask about it coming out, the next day it is released.

[Grim Tuesday]

I dont think anyone has ever cracked it, no?

Well I did have to write a distributed password cracker for a homework assignment once...

According to the FIRST Web Site:

The method used to encrypt these files is secure. It is called 128-bit AES encoding, and is a current standard considered by the US Government as completely secure for short (weeks) periods of time.
