Haha are you seriously THAT naive? Your home computer is cake to an elite hacker. And yes the mods response was uneducated. Hence the sarcasm tags..

Well I've read through it and it appears they are trying to decipher the messages but are having a bit of trouble. Maybe they released it on the web in the hopes that somebody who thinks outside the preprogramed conventional box can crack it?

I know this has been said by others, but it can't be said often enough:
All these are are attempts at describing what messages might be and how we might solve them.
Basically they posted the "signals" in one issue of the magazine and said "try to solve. The key is in the next issue." Similar to a newspaper putting the crossword puzzle in one day and the answer to that puzzle the next day.

In the most recent issue of the NSA Technical Journal- Vol. XI, No. 1Mr.
Lambros D. Callimahos discussed certain aspects of extraterrestrial
intelligence and included seueral messages to test the reader's ingenuity.
In the foUowing pages, Dr. H. H. Campaigne offers additional communications
from outer space.
Recently a series of radio messages was heard coming from outer
space. The transmission was not continuous but was cut by pauses
into pieces which could be taken as units, for they were repeated over
and over again.

CEH here. I know all there is about system penetrations, been coding since 1977, that is probably older than most people on this thread.

You don't know ALL there is to know, nobody knows everything. Coding from 1977 means nothing. It's like saying somebody coding for Microsoft since 2001 has nothing on you who has more experience on the older systems. Yes you might know a thing or two about DOS, C++ and the older coding methods but it doesn't by any means make you any better than a top "penetrator" who started in 2009.

I've got a few years on him, and have been at it for nearly 40 years. Does that mean I don't know anything either?
Y'all need to understand something; If it wasn't for the work that he, I, and people like us have done, back inprehistoric times, y'all wouldn't have those machines you take for granted.
Yeah, he's old, probably started with Unix, or something even older (JCL?), but, he, like I, have an advantage; we were around when it all started, and we built what you have today.
That said; No he doesn't know everything. But, I'll bet he has a better clue than the rest of y'all.
Oh, by the way (almost forgot to mention); C++ is currently the language of choice forall major applications (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Unix, . . .). Every serious application you run was written in C++.
