Well, you could always try JPSEEK and StegDetect.

Tried JpSeek, got nothing. Can't find a working binary of Stegdetect--the one on the site is in a corrupted zip file, and no else is hosting one.

ok based on clues and and some photos we have found i'm quite sure we have a picture of an older jefferson davis. president of the confederate states of america. what we need to do with that information still is not clear.

Perhaps something related to the Confederate States of America is the keyword to whatever's hidden in the file.

My history teacher said it looks like lee but he says he will check and see to be sure and I will get an answer tommorow.

I will post again around the same time the his answer.

here is the full quote for those that want to play w/ it

We feel that our cause is just and holy; we protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we desire peace at any sacrifice save that of honour and independence; we ask no conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were lately confederated; all we ask is to be let alone; that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms.

You know the title is "Not My President"

therefore this may refer to a Yankee.

I think the "It's not my president" was a clue stating that he wasn't an ex-president, but maybe you're right about the pass for the steg.

Well, it's not alone or Alone. Just ran both through JPSeek.

Any other ideas?
