Note: The image was not generated with any steganography tool. Note2: In this case, the message can be extracted without coding.
Hint 1:GIMP is your friend
Hint 1.5:Use the Color>Components>Decompose to get the image components separated.
Hint 2:PGM format saves grey scale images as raw data
Hint 3:The image is pretty blue, isn’t it?. Take a look to the colour components
I downloaded it, opened GIMP, decomposed it, took out the red and the green, and now I’m staring at a grayscale of the blue image, but I don’t know what to do next.
Sure. I generate the image with a small program I wrote. I do not know if it is possible to generate the file just using a image processing tool. I will post the code later anyway a bit later today (I’m finishing something else).
