Win yourself a 96 strength pure (100000 difficulty rating)

Competition Over
EDIT: Any Idiots who post useless shit that has nothing to do with my code and is just a random guess are gonna get banned from my competition.

Basically, im bored of rs and giving you all a very slim chance of winning my pure:

Basicially all you gotta do is break this code and write the answer in a reply post. Goodluck.

Hints:
The passkey is 3 letters long
Decrpyting it is not the final step, i have thrown in one little extra challenge when you decrypt it.

Best of luck/
i Crunched the numbers before, there are 5559060566555523 or 3 the the 33rd power possible number of passkeys, so i wouldn't advize trying to brute it

Ok How you solved the code:
run the ciphertext or code through cryptforge with the pass key 645 which came back with the follow response:
PK -Q***8250;:1²t¬= C code to break.txt
ÇÉ***8364; ÀT&¿***8217;À³¥***381;](_û×éαèByÌäªYh***8224;¹bp¹***8482;- ·ÿ
0p0º6÷PK -Q***8250;:1²t¬= C code to break.txtPK ? l

2. Those of you who would be familiar with zip files would have realized that it was the text of a compressed file. Once uncompressed it came back with
"The difference of two squares can be expressed as jasper ftw"
which was the final answer which none of you got.

I WIN =D

Give me a hint.

[dasimers]

is the answer 42?

[jasper]

The Answer is not 42, but a sentence with roughly about 13 words in it saying some exciting hax

[Nunk]

Damn i have to make a cracker.

[Fat]

Hmm i just need to find the passkey...

[Happy Man]

Is anyone gonna be stuffed to do it? To me it seems impossible

[Crayon Boy]

There you go people, the cracker. I don't need the acc myself. Have fun (:

Hopefully *** knows the answer!

[dasimers]

so if i try bruteforece this it willl take me roughly 10^400 (10^9 being the universes age)
