Is 'XLVI' a big enough hint?

eXtra Large VI

For those of you that are interested the site appears to take a VI and overwrite the password with a known one, and then recalculate two hashes needed.

It seems to me the person that owns that site must have some inside information from NI about the file structure. Not necessarily in how to parse the blocks of data (I can see that) but I'm not sure I would have been able to determine the two hashes that need to get recalculated when the password is changed.

This feels like a topic that I would expect NI to censor by now.  Is there anyone from NI that feels like they could comment on this site?

I know I am late to the game but can we get that saved as LV 8.0 so I can give it a go?

What is "that"? This is a very long thread and the context of your question is not clear to me....

Sorry about THAT !

i ws asking about the challenge VI posted by Bill. If I can get a backsaved version I may have a couple of minutes to poke at it.

Otherwise forget me.

No need to back save it, here's the block diagram.

This was done using the site listed earlier in this thread.  No idea what the original password was.

Thanks Hooovahh,

... and to think that the code was even protected by a sturdy sequence frame 😄
