US Cyber Command logo. Cracked Code.

I read an article in Wired.com regarding on how you can read the US Cyber Command code around the logo ( 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a ). Here's the step I did to get this code. Visit the website http://www.md5hashgenerator.com to generate the MD5 hashed code. In the String box, cut this statement ( USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries. ) and paste it.  Click Generate MD5 Hash , and you will see your MD5 Hash. 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a References: - wired.com - MD5HashGenerator.com
