Two Truths and a Steg

Two Truths and a Steg

  • Author: Sagnik

This is a steganography challenge involving two seemingly identical images.

We are given:

1
2
before.png
after.png

Although the images look identical, their SHA-256 hashes are different, indicating that the underlying files have been modified.

We can compare the images directly using ImageMagick:

```text id=”4t7h7w” magick compare before.png after.png -compose src diff.png

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
This generates `diff.png`, which highlights the differences between the two images.

Opening the difference image reveals the hidden message:

```text id="4k7g4c"
