its actually not worth it b/c it just redirects you to a job application form....... weak!
and btw the key is there on the web server if you know where to look with the right tools. *hint*

Here's a fail compilation I found on YouTube:

They needed to make this a lot harder. The first part is too straightforward. What would have made it more interesting is if they used something other than x86 and made the code a lot more cryptic. eg. self decrypting and fake stuff to throw the cracker off the trail.
A few years ago I presented a challenge to some Apple engineers. I crafted some 6502 machine code using undefined opcodes that relied on the undefined behavior for the logic. What made it crafty was that there was an "obvious" solution once you figured out the side effects of the undefined opcodes, but the "real" solution actually depended on an obscure bug in that CPU that caused indirect jumps crossing a page boundary to jump to a different address. The Apple engineers found the first solution easily enough, but only discovered the real solution when they ran it on a 6502 simulator!
It may be a dying art, but anyone can learn how to disassemble code. If you want to do hardcore hacking/cracking, you need to go way way beyond this.

That's all nice and dandy. Im neither an IT guy nor have an IT education, I just happen to like riddle.

Since this thread is a monument to Major Stoner, I thought this link was Stoner-esque.

I agree they should have made it more of a riddle where you use outside-the- box thinking to solve it, rather than something that presupposes specific knowledge.
This had little to do with code breaking or solving a riddle and more to do with having a specific background. If their goal was to find someone well versed in that specific background (disassembly/reverse engineering) then they did a poor job of it because anyone adept in this field would have found it trivial.
