I dont have a hex editor at hand, you could try that first. Every two hex digits can be an ascii character, getting the characters should be the first step, the next clue.
I could be a trap too tho. Any info on the nature of the creator or the trick itself?

Then forget the direct translation from hex digits to ascii. Also, there are many ff and ef and those are not letters, letters go from 41 to 5A.
So. I'm sleepy. Good luck!

Also, the puzzle itself is kind of bullshit. x86 machine code? gfy

Look like you're hacking

If you just type the hex code in, you get a DOS program. Run that and it prints a URL to a lump of JavaScript. Copying the output of the java program is a C program. You use the original matrix of values as inputs to the C program, and that runs a program, and tells you it's done it, then the program hangs. If you look at the stack trace for the program (it appears to the computer that it's crashed, and therefore you can look at what it left) and amongst that is says something positive and then the key above. I pasted it in and it worked

Google deeper. Close, but not really close... At all...
http://www.geeknative.com/24578/can-you ... it-solved/I see this is where you copy/pasted that paragraph from. I'm just going to call bullshit.
Also, it is restricted to 32bit
Linux distro, not x86.
Bottom line, this is simply SEO gimmick. Viral marketing and what not. Now they have some people to interview.
