This is great. I literally ran to my parents bin and picked it up the moment i saw it here on HN. Not that the regular FAZ reader would understand anything, but i think this is will make a lot of people think about the importance of code. It's hidden and controls most parts of everybodies lifes.

I am really glad seeing germany being active like this concerning tech topics.


This is a part of the code of the federal trojan discovered by CCC.

Note: The print contains obviously german code comments and the code stems from a function called "_0zapftis_file_execute". 0zapftis="O zapft is"=bavarian saying on the Oktoberfest when they open the first barrel of beer.

Not printed here (at least I didn't see it) is the AES private key and the names of C3P0, R2D2 and POE.


Nice. I never thought code would look so good in print. There should be print paper with great code of the week in it!


Is this the trojan CCC discovered?


Yes.


Cool. What's it for?
