well, you're viewing the source to a binary file... IE shouldn't allow a 'view source' on an image, so I'm assuming you're using another browser...

anyway, viewing the binary of the jpg doesn't show anything special (at first glance at least), except the word 'Ducky' in the header...

doubt this applies, but searching for 'jpeg' and 'ducky' came across a lot of references to a trojan virus

Smile

I doubt that's relevent, since virus scans don't show anything bad about the file...

so what's 'Ducky' in reference to?

I think 'Ducky' just means that it's a photoshopped image.

I seem to recall that a lot of the ILB images had 'Ducky' in them as well.

Yep, Ducky is just a line the programme writes in itself if the picture has been edited

Viewing page source on the challenge page, and this was the "challenge image" it seems:

Is the picture an actual challenge or what?

The picture was probably a teaser of what we would get if we solved the challenge.

And indeed we did.
