Hi.
I've been doing this for a while but have only recently started to go out with groups of people.
As a way to introduce myself I have set up a quick challenge as my signature.
If you know the steps it should take 5 minutes. if not? possibly hours. Feel free to discuss how to solve the puzzle or try to solve it by yourself.
If you ever get stuck send me a PM and I might just be able to give you a hint.
I look forward to being a member of this community.

Good luck -Cicada

So I tried opening the file in Notepad. Nothing there.
Maybe a Hex editor?

Nope, that did not work either. Steganography maybe?

Apparently there's a stenography program called Outguess. I can find a download for it for Mac, but not Windows.

Found Outguess for "Windows" But it's not, it's a command line interface thingy

I read this user guide for Outguess http://uncovering-cicada.wikia.com/wiki ... O_OUTGUESS
But when I try outguess -r code.png message.txt
I get "unknown data type of code.png"

Yes I renamed the file name to make it easier to work with.

Enough with the fun and games. How about you tell us what you've explored and share a few pics with us?

Yeah, the tech guy who's dealing with that Nigerian Prince said Dr Windows recommended it so it must be okay.
