Title: WikiLeaks cracks encrypted video
Post by: j0rDy on April 08, 2010, 07:02:57 AM
As you all might have heard, WikiLeaks cracked a surveillance video coming from an apache mission where innocent civillians and reporters where killed http://wikileaks.org/ (http://wikileaks.org/)

The question remains how did they achieve this?

They started out with a request for computer processing power (http://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/7530875613 (http://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/7530875613)) and about two months later they cracked the code.

Here some experts about the subject:
