Who Will Be The First To Decrypt The Wikileaks "Insurance" File

[Joanne98]

With Julian Assange's arrest now seen by many to be a matter of days if not hours, it seems that the Wikileaks founder has taken some modest retaliation precautions, primarily along the lines of the infamous "letter in the mail should something happen to me." Using Bit Torrent, Wikileaks has distributed an "insurance" file, which however is encrypted, and the contents of which are unknown, although may possibly contain at least some of the infamous BofA incriminating selection. It is very possible that Wikileaks will release the encryption code upon Assange's arrest. That said, the insurance file, which can be downloaded from Pirate Bay at the following link, is merely 1.4 GB, and far less than the expected 5 GB which the BofA data is supposed to contain. Since Zero Hedge is read by quite a few hackers, we would like to extend the challenge to all to find the proper key to decrypt the insurance file and spill its contents to the general public.

1. Please note that that would destroy the file's utility as insurance,

possibly putting Assange in danger.

2. That may be why the file's so small. I hope he has more.

5. other files he released were zipped

and considerably larger on opening. This could well be the same situation. I'm no techie, but I do remember reading that earlier today. Someone had posted the link to, and downloaded and opened a released file.

And the other thing is this...we all can only speculate what is in Insurance. Maybe it's BOFA, maybe it's the "Best of BOFA," maybe it's something else.

In this case, size really does not matter. Only content.

3. Already been decrypted.......

....after numerous hours running it thru an ACME Super-Cycle Decryptomizer, authorities found the seemingly endless file actually only contained 3 words......




"KISS MY ASS!"

4. Ha ha! Even better,

if it said, KISS MY ASS; THIS AIN'T THE INSURANCE FILE.

6. Shouldn't that be ARSE?
