Its mission is largely opaque, even inside the armed forces. But the there's another mystery surrounding the emerging unit. It's embedded in the Cyber Command logo. On the logo's inner gold ring is a code: 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a.'"

    Oh okay.

    NOW I understand. See everyone: Wouldn't it have been a lot easier to just EXPLAIN it to me, rather than insult or say "go google it"? Yes. I thought the MD5 number was like a ZIP file where the numbers code be "uncompressed" back into readable text. I didn't realize it was essentially a random, unrecoverable number.
