I thought this stuff only happened in bad movies.

The huge file, posted on the Afghan War page at the WikiLeaks site, is 1.4 GB and is encrypted with AES256. The file’s size dwarfs the size of all the other files on the page combined. The file has also been posted on a torrent download site as well.

It’s not known what the file contains but it could include the balance of data that U.S. Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning claimed to have leaked to Assange before he was arrested in May.

If anyone has a supercomputer Beowolf cluster in the basement that can crack AES256 quickly, you can beat the rest of the world to the scoop.
