Destegging = decrypting a file or hidden messages usually encoded within picture files. You need to use a steganography program to input the password desteg a file.
There are many to choose from! Though if you're a mac user like me, then you kinda don't have much to choose from...
There's a very good tutorial in the forums (http://www.unfiction.com/dev/tutorial/steg.html) which should give you a good idea of how it works.
For great victoly! That's the way!

Mary Stuart is also known as Mary Queen of Scots. She is not, however, Bloody Mary (as that was the previous Mary). She was a devout Catholic. Her sister was Queen Elizabeth, and many people thought Mary should have been queen, which led to all kinds of fighting and Mary's execution.
I don't know if any of that helps.

IMHO !
Bahhhh ... no destegs ...... it will be another puzzle [ he all ready said so ] plus this is a thingy for digg so it has to be somewhat solvable so that new viewers will be able to participate. This is about finding players/viewers ... And I will add, a f-cking genius use of the medium ! (to go along with his use of youtube)(oh and breaking ground here at UF with a subject that was somewhat touchy to the veteran/upperityups)
If solves are posted to Digg. I'd think we might help on the toughest ones or give hints to the solve but not spoil others fun (or the developement of their interest) Lets find a way to blend in with the digg-ers and but not spoil the fun. In the end, bigger is better, for all of us .
All THP fans shouuld digg the CM's stuff too ... It will only motivate him the PM .... Hopefully in a good way ..
We will get the same thing tomorrow (another slightly more viscious puzzle) ...... Same CodeMaster time ! Same CodeMaster Channel !
Ahemmm .. Someone take the dice away from Sniper. Its time to share ...
AHHH, F-it everone for themselves!
End of MHO ............

Awww crap, I had just posted stuff on the digg comments on CM's first vid
Here's what I did:
1) First comment, said "Hey guys, puzzle solved by (insert name for credit here)! I'm going to post the answers on the next comment and put it under threshold!"
2) Make 2nd comment with answers, give it a -1 digg score to put it under "threshold" and hide the answer.
I don't know how digg really works...after 5 minutes you can't delete what you've posted and it's already been 6 minutes since I've posted the solution. To put things under threshold it must have at least a rating of -1 or more. Maybe it takes a bit for the system to update or a few more votes, but I've already tried negative voting the solution comment with another account and it seems to not be working?
I dunno, maybe I should kindly ask the CM to delete it?

As Das Lama suggested, to not spoil the fun for others. Until the digg comment with the solution falls under threshold (meaning, it will be hidden until the user manually clicks the "show comment" link) then everyone will see the answers and it might spoil the fun-ness of it all for the newcomers coming in.
I'm hoping the digg systems will put it under threshold soon. In the mean time, could a couple of you guys give the solution comment a few more negative score points? A score of -5 should be good enough, maybe more votes on it will put it behind the threshold sooner.

It should be my second comment. Muchas Gracias el peoples!

Trust me, it was an unexpected burst of productivity. By this time tomorrow I will be up to my usual business of making pointless all caps posts and pickin' on people.
Or maybe not? Who the hell knows?
Gunz? What is this talk of guns?
