I wouldn't mind seeing your code on this.
I did a quick refactor to get the capitalisation (String.swapcase) but eschewed the random characters.

Lowest score for me so far is 47.

Generation 381: hamming distance 47

Actually, I ignored the whole "change the capitalisation bit" as well as the random five character word at the end.

I ended up with midpoint crossover and a mutation rate of .25

43 does sound good. I'm using a custom GA and down only to 56 after 40 minutes.

I notice that there is a difference in the reported binary ouput (this one has spaces for each hex digit) where as the first example was a long stream of the binary output.

Will spaces be considered in the hamming distance?
