My favorite example is Cicada 3301's famous duck image.

I stumbled onto the cicada stuff when I was in school for my BA in info systems. Really interesting stuff. Especially when we were learning about steganography in our security classes.

Hack This Site has some fun steganography puzzles, too. Not nearly as in-depth as all that, though.

Appreciate the info but is there a TLDR for this specific image?

RealJonathanBronco t1_jackdth wrote on February 28, 2023 at 1:43 PM

lol I wish but there's no TL;DR for any of Cicada 3301 really. The best I can do is that complex code leads you to a book where another complex code emerges. The chain just continues on and on. Very few got to the end solve, the current iteration of the puzzle has been unsolved for years.
