i dont know how to give it to you. i dont want to put out the obvious... everything is hidden, sometimes no one knows what and where, i bet that many pictures and programs have something hidden in them... for example have you ever tried running a picture or viewing a program with your picture viewer?
no?! it's quite interesting you know...
:D read the condition of the riddle again... see what you can do with it - that's the hint :p
ok another hint
think about the "raw" image data!!!!!
:p :p :p
hope this helps
I figured when I first saw it that we were maybe supposed to convert step one to .com and step two to .gif, but no matter what I try, my computer recognizes the files as what they are, regardless of the extension. :(Quote:

So in case you were wondering, at least one ;) person has tried it. Don't say anything if it will give too much away.
hmmm i didn't say the "gif" image data did i?
I did the same as Solarflare, and nothing worked.Quote:

But if we have to find which gif on the internet we need to try to convert, ...
By the way, at the end of the ".com" file, there is written: "the password is not here". The gif says "You'll find nothing here". That's not very helpful... :(
I don't have a clue where to start. I don't even know what we are looking for. And don't have time to look again and again at the post you've made, so I guees I'll stop here.
you obviously havent heard of the simplest image format in the world... the simplest of simple that doesnt even contain info about the image size, and colors...
find it and it will lead you to the solution :P
when i open the step02.com using binary.. i see lots of 'F' in the left and a few '@' in the right coloum..
don't tell me that makes up a beautiful picture.
I've tried that as well but it doesn't look like anything. Maybe the editors I have are no the correct ones to see and ASCII picture, but it's just a big mess of nothing.Quote:

If we need a specific tool to be able to see it, it could be long to find.
i told you you need an exact image format... it's so simple that almost all image programs support it:
ACDSee
Photo Shop
Photo Paint
Paint Shop Pro
Irfan View
is that so hard? Think!
it's not hard once you have it
I don't know anything about image formats, and I don't know any format that contains no information about colour and size and still is an image, and that would be supported by an image editor, and I don't have any of these:
ACDSee
Photo Shop
Photo Paint
Paint Shop Pro
Irfan View
on my PC at work.
Does "Paint" support this image format (probably not as a bmp has colour information)?
I obviously have not.Quote:

find this format then :p ask somebody (not me :D)
paint does not support it, so if dont have any image programs you can download irfan view (it's a GREAT program) from here:
http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm
Actually, you don't even need an image editor if you have VC++ and know about the DIB format (the structures BITMAPINFO and BITMAPINFOHEADER come in handy) ;)
So rest assured that there is a clear message in step02. But I'm still stuck with step01...
haha :D
Actually i never knew that there was such a way for solving step 2. Actually the dib format isn't the one i meant but it can be solved with it... only why bother i only makes things more complicated.
There is a picture format that does NOT contain any info about the picture and viewers which open it let you choose the size and bits per pixel. This one must you search. The riddle is solvable with just a good picture editor :p
if you look at my posts you must find it
