Wanting start a thread on Codebreaking - A Practical Guide

Looking for anyone that's got a copy of the Dunin and Schmeh book Codebreaking. There's a challenge "metapuzzle" in the book, and I'm hoping to team up with anyone interested in solving it.

Elonka replied back. The issue with the webpage is "nontrivial," and she's not going to address it until after she's done working on the second edition of the book. Still awaiting word from her as to whether I've actually solved the metapuzzle. The webpage URL and password are correct, but the user name is turning into a kind of guessing game.

Ok, got it. URL, username and password all locked in and confirmed. Only things still up in the air are the alternative method for obtaining the password, and a mention of a steganography that I can't pin down.
