The challenge is over!
Crack the code and win $100,000.
Meganet
Corporation offered $100,000 to the one who can crack the
code (get the encrypted file here).
The
challenge was to break into a file encrypted with our proprietary
technology, Virtual Matrix Encryption.
Virtual
Matrix Encryption, or VME, is the industry's only commercially
available, unbreakable encryption engine.
Utilizing a combination of Virtual Matrices and a 1
Million-bit symmetric key, VME is impervious to brute force
attacks.
The
term of the challenge expired 12:00pm April 30, 2001 Standard Pacific Time.
During the term of the challenge, challengers were
provided with a
VME-encrypted file
and were encouraged to attempt to decipher it.
Should a challenger be successful in deciphering the
VME-encrypted file, short of illegally acquiring the password
and should the challenger be the first to submit proof of
deciphering the VME encrypted file, that challenger will have
been awarded a prize of $100,000 USD. (for full details on Rules
and Regulations click here!).
Meganet administered and oversaw the challenge.
