There is no information in it, it looks like a continuous wave of radio energy coming from space. It is on a frequency that might be a natural one for any intelligent civilization to consider broadcasting on, and it is a narrowband signal, meaning it only covers a small range of frequencies.

We actually don't know that. There might or might not have been some information in it; we did not capture or retain enough to be sure either way.

2 questions. Are we capable of generating something like that particularly when that happened? and was there ever an attempt to respond in some sort?

		It's a pretty easy signal to generate, even back then. I believe they've made efforts to scan the stars in that direction, but given the distance to them it would be decades or centuries until they'd see a response from us.
