Breaking the Codes In Oslo Terrorist's Manifesto

Posted by timothy on from the bad-movie-plots-seethe-in-the-background dept.

repvik writes "The 1500-page manifesto of the terrorist who killed 77 people in Oslo and on Utøya two weeks ago contains a series of seemingly encrypted URLs. There are 46 of them, and the initial part of the URLs appear to be GPS coordinates. An effort to analyze the codes have been launched."

    Why is this being made public? If this points to conspirator's or other sensitive information, shouldn't this have been quietly handed to the police so that they don't tip their hand?

      Most likely its being made public just in case this is some sort of instruction system for various cells.

      By that admission, the Christians running the Western governments are as dangerous as the so-called "terrorists" they demonize in Rupert Murdoch's media.

      In other words, not only are Christians idiots, but easily manipulated idiots in high places with the power to influence what people do with their lives. That's why larger and larger numbers of people are seeing them for what they really are -- idiots. The party of "can't do." You can't enjoy premarital sex. Marginalize homosexuals. You can't do this, you can't do that, or else you're going to hell. Which proves many times over what people from civilized countries have been saying about us the whole time: Americans are fucking morons. Put off that stem-cell research, god (as interpreted by half-ass churches) doesn't want humans to live.

      Fuck you, assholes.

    My guess is that when he entered strings like this into his wordprocessor
    52.068.4.309plusf24:KWimfhh436383717863

    That it interpreted the numbers as IPv4 addresses and prepended http:/// onto it. If someone can verify then that part of the "mystery" is solved. It has nothing to do with URLs.
