New robot encryption cracked!

EBN News: Intelligence work was thrown into disarray as the robots deployed a new encryption protocol. Thanks to intelligent code breakers, the new code was cracked and we now know that the robots will deploy their new Hydra robot at least twice.

However, CDF Intelligence Service is worried about that not all of the coded transmissions have been decoded.

“At least one coded transmission is still not decrypted” an analyst says. “Who knows what it contains? It can be a change of time, change of location, or even that the whole trial has been suspended because someone spilled coffee in the next Hydra unit.”

The undecrypted transmission was sent on Friday at around 14:45 UTC, and contained the following codes:

0×9E6064229232546591EEC41E64F538939E01B21649BF
0×8A48C9519AC7

EBN: Robot communications cracked

For the last week, the robots have used the Calypso emergency broadcast system to piggy-back their own sinister messages. Of course, the messages themselves were encrypted.

Thanks to a valiant effort by a community of code-breakers, the robot codes have been cracked, even as the robots switched communications protocol to make decryption harder.

“We owe these clever people a great deal”, Major Jenny Carramone says. “They’ve cracked the code just for the challenge of it, and they have given the CDF a peek inside the minds of the robots. that have been invaluable to us. I would like to express my gratitude to each and everyone of them. They may very well have won the war.”

However, Major Carramone still has concerns about cracking the code on a public forum. “They know that we know” she says, “and the code has evolved all the time. I fear that pretty soon, we won’t be able to read their code.”
