Actually "security by obscurity" does not work well!

[Martin Johnson]

Yes, your post is definately secure.

Great encryption, impressive compression AND really fast!

Sometimes I do believe that Dan or someone from his team delivers threads like this one for us to have fun!

I gather from the above that your question has something to do with the combination of security and white box testing. Can you be a bit more specific in your request?

[Wodisch]

Doug, like the description above?

[Sridhar Bhaskarla]

The basic security setup of the system starts from "hiding" the password entries in /etc/passwd file like your message.

Actually, I think I have figured out the message.

If you look at the source for the HTML for this message, you'll see that the actual text of his message consists of two lines. The first line has three tab characters, and the second line has four tab characters followed by two spaces. What could the tabs and spaces represent?

Let's guess that they stand for dashes and dots respectively, and so our friend is trying to send us a message in Morse code. Letting the tabs stand for dashes and the spaces stand for dots, we have:

---
----..

Using a standard Morse code table, this translates to:

O (----)
T8 (-) (---..)

which I take to stand for, Off Topic and a pair of eyes watching us. ;)

Get enough caffeine and refined sugar in my blood and I can figure out just about anything! (or make up an answer!)
