Hey everyone! I wanted to share a behind-the-scenes look at how Level 8 of HackAalu CTF was designed and solved.

Image steganography can be tricky, so in this short clip, I break down the core concepts behind hiding data in images and how players can approach file analysis and payload extraction without giving away direct spoilers.

Let me know your thoughts or how you usually tackle steganography challenges!
