Lol, to a non existent group *again!*

(Incoming clue by 4: there is no group called dev.null, dev is not a
valid top level organisation)
You need a better provider, it exists here or it would complain of an
unresolved group.

No, it doesn't. You can't even copy the name correctly.



Be fair, it *was* ROTted. :-)


Next time, make it harder, used double ROT13 ;-)


Task you should know from the DES experience that when DES was found to be
weak a stab at 2DES was taken without much improvement. It was therefore
necessary to adopt 3DES. Hence 3ROT13 must be the best algorithm.


it was always rumoured that the NSA watered down the original proposed
standard for DES from 64 to 56 bits...

ROT13 is as strong as it was designed to be in the first place ;-)
