I've found hidden data in one of the Podesta email images, but I dont know the password! HELP!!! [Steganography] (pizzagate)

submitted ago by TheUltimateDebate

I was using a Steganography detection software and it flagged the following image as using a steganography method called "jphide": http://i.imgur.com/a3pUmpH.jpg

Now, the thing is that when I try to use Jphide to uncover the data it asks for a password, and the only thing I had to try with was the filename, but because I originally found the image from THIS site http://hollaforums.com/thread/8067477/politics/open-directory-found-from-the-podesta-emails-large.html and on the site the image was called "1477744604436.jpg" (which does not seem to be the original name from the Podesta emails because when I searched for that filename it didn't come up with any results). I therefore need YOUR help in finding the Podesta e-mail from where this photo was taken from, so that we can see if there are any suggestions of a password that we can use to crack the image file. Most probably the password will be the name of the original file, so if ya'll PLEASE can help me locate this photo from the Podesta e-mails we might have a chance to uncover what's hidden in this file!!

For anyone who's interested, this is how it looked when I scanned the photos. You will see that the photo in question is flagged as being encrypted with "jphide" steganography method: http://i.imgur.com/VtlG3My.jpg

God Bless!

In the thread on 4chan, "SwissGuy" appears to have used an app available at http://hanynet.com/isteg/
This is software for a Mac which I do not have access to.

Using OpenStego I tried to decrypt the image in OPs post (downloaded from wikileaks, not imgur).
Following instructions from Swiss Guy, I tried 3 possible strings as the password, none worked.
e63csp284426lfb
g68mr68626420yke.23.1417453546899
g68mr68626420yke.23.1417453546962

So then I tried reproducing Swiss Guys experiment.
Tried decrypting pizza.jpg (downloaded from https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10037)) with OpenStego using password q11mr1694671qaj.9.1249698062233
Did not work.

Edit: Formatting

Edit2: Retried all the above tests using alternative Stegonography software as OP mentioned jphide.
Tests still fail using JPHS for Windows

Edit3: It's important to note that when OP uploaded the file to Imgur, he may have fucked with the encryption, so it's necessary to download the original from Wikileaks;
