Some of us old timers got to small thrill when it came out about the coding in Cyber Commands logo. The code was 32 digits within the gold ring on the logo. The 32 digit code was translated with a md5 cryptographic hash.

Whats a md5, right? lol MD5 stands for Message-Digest algorithm 5, was a hash function which simply is any well-defined procedure or mathematical function that converts a large, possibly variable-sized amount of data into a small datum. MD5 usually 32 digits and was designed in 1991 but soon after it was discovered to have major flaws and really wasn't secure enough for SSL certificates or digital signatures.

But it was a blast from the past to some of us and to those of you that haven't heard about this don't read any further spoiler alert...!!!!

The code was 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a now if you apply the hash equation md5 the mission statement of the Cyber Command is revealed to you,

Of course it would have been more fun if they had virtual fireworks or for you men; babes in bikinis, but alas no such perks, at least we now know the mission of Cyber Control.

What I haven't told you yet oh it's simple 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a translates to:

Now I know some are disappointed that the code was really gave itself away the very nature of the string lent itself to be recognised as a hash, but maybe there might be a redeeming quality to the simple is if their {Cyber Command} mission statement is shared with some other bizarre encrypted message that no one is looking for, thats what the rumormill is playing.

At the very least coding aside we were shown this admin has a sense of humor and do try to involve the public in fun if not challenging ways.
