I tried pixelknot, on android, but it's only giving me the option to add a message to a picture. Took one with the camera in pixelknot, added a message and password, mailed it to myself, downloaded the pic, copied it over to the tablet, opened it back up in pixelknot, and it says "Write your message...". Nothing about message detected or enter password or whatever else. Same thing from the hi-res pic above but I don't think that shows anything.
There are some things in search results about using the "F5 jar" on the command line with java to get messages from the pics, haven't looked at that though.
Sorta obvious but the hand positions from the left side are back, back, front, back, then arms down. Is that " - - . - " maybe ?
You need to share an image with pixelknot to decrypt it. The documentation is poor but the screenshots on play store suggested that. Worked for me. But can't get the right password
Use Files or Google drive app and share the file with Pixelknot. It'll then prompt you for a password to decode the image. Takes around 5 minutes per password.
Can do about 1 password per 10 seconds now instead of waiting 5 minutes. We can automate this with a bash script. Anyone have a list of passwords they want to try? Already tried a bunch of stuff and everything that comes out is garbage.
Interesting. And the picture seems to have been taken Feb. 11 2021.

Other patriots have discovered that Pixelknot seems outdated by a year. Q might’ve just been referring to the technology as a whole.
Yeah, could be, seems like a specific reference though. Last entry on their blog is only ten days ago,

Just noticed that the pic itself has the - - . - info but I'm not going to edit that out, lol.

Thanks, I'll try that. Seems like the tripcode on the post is worth a shot, no idea what else though.
edit: the "open with" part is the trick there. Hit the pic in the file manager and then select pixelknot instead of Gallery or whatever.
Getting the message back from the test pic worked, and trying the wrong password gives an error message in about the same amount of time.
A pic without a message in it just leaves it spinning at 10% without finishing.
The hi-res pic from the SF page, and a random password, and it's sitting at 0% for a while now. Could be the size of that image maybe?
With the low res pic that's used on the SF page, the .webp, it comes back with the error message right away, no spinning at all.
I tried adding a message to the webp, and after that it took a while to finish with the error, or the encrypted message that I added.
Makes me think there's nothing in the low res one, that pixelknot can pick up?
I found that I can do this pretty quickly with f5.jar from:
