The U.S. Cyber Command goes full spook with secret code in their logo.
The newly formed U.S. Cyber Command is supposed to centralize and focus the military's ability to wage war over the Internet, but so far it's basically famous for brainteasers. The command's fancy logo contains a super-secret code in its inner gold ring: 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a. Though some people noticed the code late last month, Wired's Threat Level Danger Room blog picked it up Wednesday morning and announced a contest, with a free T-shirt (or a ticket to the International Spy Museum) going to the first reader to crack the code.
Crack the CIA's secret code, win a T-shirt! I'm sure the C.I.A. appreciates that. But, it is an obsolete cipher. I think that's a good word to describe any cipher that you can crack with a web-ap. That being said:

This one works better. I also think the story of their statue is pretty freakin' crazy, too.
