looks like a filter approach would be a good place to start on this one.
To approach this code firstly copy it exactly into a string in python, vb, whatever.
The rule is that it is one word so you know not to look for breaks, which is a positive.
Because it is only one word, that means you are also looking at a lot of filler, useless pairs inserted for no reason. The filler is likely to be repeated many time through the code, so the next task is to run frequency checks on the code, and pic out the most frequent, and rarest character pairs. At this point you should start to analyse the purely alpha, numeric, and alphanumeric string pairs for frequency....
ok i might have a go

I'm not suggesting anyone has to then apply for the jobs Just asking who thinks they can do it! Only 50 people so far apparently have cracked it so a challenge and plenty on here fancy their chances when it comes to complex questions.

actually it's just a url stored in a 64 bit array.
i thought it was more complex than that.
I don't have a compiler, but i found the result is Pr0t3ct!on#cyber_security@12*12.2011+

Not convinced it says anything, but then again I am not a programmer. However if you enter it into a hex editor you just get gibberish per line, apart from line 5 which has the most gibberish in it.

Also whilst a lot of people on forums have claimed they got it has anyone actually proved they did it themselves with details instructions of what they did?
