RE: stegano in general
I can assure you, that there is not 1 approach, which can solve all the steganos! But an important thing, I think, is to count... Counting helped me a lot in most of the challenges on "Challenge-Sites". sfabriz and quangntenemy answered things like that, moreover with other approachings, to some previous posts and I agree. Of course if you find an "algorythm" to solve all steganos hihihi you are welcome...

Stegano Tips:
QuoteQuote:
Know file format specifications and therefore know how to spot irregularities.
QuoteQuote:
Learn how to operate a hex viewer to examine file content.
QuoteQuote:
Learn how to operate an advanced image editor.
QuoteQuote:
REALLY learn how to operate even a simple tool like paint.
QuoteQuote:
Zoom, zoom and zoom. (Pixels should look like 5x5cm squares.)
QuoteQuote:
And last but not least: count.


And the 2 biggest tips I can give you:
QuoteQuote:
Don't ever forget that you are working on a stegano challenge. Always keep in mind that you are looking for information hidden inside another file. This may sound stupid, but it is essential to solve harder challenges. I can't remember the number of times I had difficulties solving a stegano because I wasn't really looking for hidden information.
QuoteQuote:
Try to think of how YOU could hide information inside a specific file (a file like the one given to you). Then test if maybe this is the case in the stegano challenge you are trying to solve.


Good luck on solving the stegano's, greetz BaRa
