Some believe this to be a fundamental unit of the human brain.
CIA 2010 covert communication websites / JAR reverse engineering by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
TODO it would be cool to have a look at the JARs and see if they have anything in common that makes for a good fringerprint. Would not help find new ones, but would help to confirm possible hits.
The most advanced reverse engineering effort so far has been by GitHub user quat1024, an undergratuate student at Ohio State University and Minecraft modding extraordinaire. Minecraft is written in Java, which partly explains his Java skills.He managed to deobfuscate the strings present inthe JARs using Enigma, possibly github.com/FabricMC/Enigma, a Java reverse engineering tool. Cool findings on web.archive.org/web/20110208072027/http://newsupdatesite.com/update.jar include:
  • applet.configs1 deobfuscated contains a date:
     Fri Feb 05 12:04:29 EST 2010
    Also cool is the present of a timeszone, "EST" unsurprisingly.

Other files whose existence might help to fingerprint include:
  • a/a/a/applet.configs
  • empty a/cre
A quick:
find . -type f | xargs strings | sort -u
does not reveal any obvious cryptography calls.
web.archive.org/web/20110207204640/http://flyingtimeline.com/aircraft.jar is very similar looking. META-INF/MANIFEST.MF is identical:
