It seems trivially easy for the British security service GCHQ to think a difficult code to crack, to have and to apply. The service shows a code on a site to cryptography experts to find, but the site seems to work.
The GCHQ began on 3 november the site Can you crack it? with a code, and the question of whether the visitors could crack. The solution is a word that is on the site to be entered to continue. The project runs until december 12 and is intended to find people who are experts in the field of encryption. The GCHQ spread the url of the site, including via social media.
It appears, however, not necessary for the code to crack in order to progress on the site and sign in as a potential candidate. A British blogger discovered that a simple site:command search on the url from Google be enough to soyoudidit-site to access the visitor simply presented as he the code has been cracked. Incidentally, it seems to be the authentic password is not yet on the internet surfaced.
It is not the first time that the British secret service in an unusual way the staff recruits. In 2009 showed the service certain content in games like Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed through the Xbox Live network, and two years previously, published the GCHQ posters in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas and Splinter Cell Double Agent. Even in 1941, used the British afluisterdienst all crossword puzzles in newspapers to the appropriate breakers.
