Then if shortlisted, you have to go through a four-month security clearance period where they check your background. (MOD is two months clearance).

tell that to my ex-colleague who left for the MOD in july and is still waiting for clearance. i always thought he was a dodgy character :D

Hmm might have a go at this... a quick run through it turns up a load of gibberish. Might be worth running through in iterations adding to the values (presuming this is supposed to be ASCII).

I'm useless at this sort of thing :/
