ROFL!
Can't believe this... Some are really trying that hard to crack the archive?
What I believe is, that only kiddies try to crack it....

Come on fellows go out, meet a nice girl while you wait for the official release.

Actually, the more I'm thinking about it, the crackers are lucky I only made it a PGP encrypted .tar.lzma archive.

Because here's what I could've done:
Released a PGP encrypted JPEG picture, which has a DEB (Debian installer file) hidden in it with steghide.
Once you install it, it puts some C source code in /boot/grub/bak-loader/ but without a Makefile. So once you somehow make a Makefile for it and compile the source code (which is scrambled by raw2c) and run it, then it prints out a link to a RapidShare which is a PGP encrypted UHARC archive which once you somehow get through that, it has a backup-launcher.dol inside and when you run it on your Wii, it prints "Make Sure to Drink Your Ovaltine."

I guess most people don't even know how PGP/GPG really works, or used it

Arm, why don't you just change the link, tell them it's the unencrypted version, but have a bad banner WAD in it... so when they install it, it brick's their Wii, and they are left crying!

That would be too funny!

That's just what we need an intentional wii bricker.... Lets go the DS route shall we.
And to those who honestly believe you can crack the encryption.... all i can say is enjoy running up your electric bills and taxing your cpus needlessly.... Unless one of you knows the "secret government backdoor key" assuming you believe there is one ROFLMAO

It would actually take longer than the age of the Universe, not 15 years.

I replaced it in my signature.

Good luck decrypting the Ralph Nader '08 picture.
