My theory is they are using semantic compression.

Here's how I arrived at that conclusion (links are broken up for a reason).

  1. Go to dr pong . net

  2. Click "linken"

  3. Go to good and plenty . de

  4. Click on "Click here for more super hot shit"

  5. LInks to Shweinpeg Research Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/SchweinpegResearch

  6. Watch video called "The Use of Advanced Data Compression Algorithms in Semantic-Field Shift Computations (ADCASEFCO) " Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-fpmy_wJPw

At 2:35, you will see what they are really hiding in the cat photo. It's literally a tutorial by two guys who are hiding one data file inside another.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

This study proposes a novel scheme of semantic image compression. A compressor firstly creates a compact image by gathering a part of pixels in an original image, and calculates estimation errors of the rest pixels. Then, a compressed image is produced by embedding the estimation errors into the compact image using data hiding techniques. This way, the compressed image are made up of a small number of pixel values, and the original content is still visible roughly through the compressed image without any decompression tool. If a decompression tool is available, a user may reconstruct a high quality image with original size by exploiting the embedded data. Because the proposed scheme is compatible with reversible and non-reversible data hiding techniques, either the lossy or lossless semantic compression can be performed. With different parameters, the qualities of compressed and decompressed images vary. Furthermore, the smoother the original image content, the better is the compression–decompression performance.

WHAT IT MEANS:

I think it means that all the back page file downloads from pizza joints, or even the mp3 files from bands like Heavy Breathing, could have something else inside the file. I'm no expert on this stuff, but this is where the pizza crumbs lead.

Work in IT. I'm not a l33t hacker or anything, but can confirm they are demonstrating use of a type of steganography.

We need a more l33t down here to tell us how we can extract these with the technique used. I'll write back here in the meantime if I dig up anything.

Edit: The channel that video is from has more weirdness on it, of course.

Like this video "demoing" their RAD compression...

Perhaps we need a new thread over this "SchweinPeg Research"...
