By definition hashing stuff is also encryption. Not reversible but as
art it is can be categorized under "encryption" :)


But seeing as this is FD and there has been a rash of "Month of Foo"
nonsense, I think someone is just taking the piss and further degrading
the already miniscule SNR of this list.  Unless a posted hash is
correlated to the release of some POC or other item of interest, it's
noise.

Actually author who posted those hashes are known man and I am sure if
he posted something, this is cool and I am really sitting and waiting
what he have found. Also I know that he usually provides POC after 6 or
12 months AT LEAST, so do not expect fast info.
