今年5月刚刚成立的美国网络战司令部最近被发现在徽章内隐藏了32个字符:9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a。 《连线》杂志请求读者帮助进行破解,结果没过几小时读者就破译了密码。这32个字符是网络战司令部使命的MD5 hash:
即“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”
(大意是:USCYBERCOM 策划,协调,整合,同步并进行活动:领导国防部信息网络的行动和防卫;做好准备,并在指示下,执行全面的军事网络空间行动,以确保美国和盟友在网络空间上的活动自由,并阻止敌方的相同行动)。
