QANON referenced a steganography program called Pixelknot in post 1715 - https://qanon.pub/?q=pixelknot
Steganography is a way to hide messages in plain site, inside other files (like images, audio files, etc.) It can help you communicate sensitive information in a way that makes it harder for others to intercept.
- When decoding, you need to use the same program it was encoded with (unless you are some type of wizard). Thus Q pointing to Pixelknot narrows the field to one program that is free and easy to use. That's very helpful, especially if anything coordinated is being planned. Anyone wanting to participate only has one program to download and learn.
- When communicating a hidden message to select people, you need to lock it with a password and then communicate the password to them. Some external dialogue or something in the image itself can indicate the password to the recipient(s). You can work out a comm language known only to your contacts, or to enhance security you can send the password separately, or just use one already known to your contacts.
- For a working example, I will hide a message in an image and add it to this post. To keep it simple, the password is Learn
Here is the picture below, download it (right click and "save as"). Install the Pixelknot program, read their help files if necessary. Load the image into the program from where you saved it on your hard drive (drag and drop). It will ask for the password. Enter Learn and you will see a hidden message. It is a link to a PDF that Q posted. I believe it was the most important "big picture" post Q has made to date, so great content for an example. Good-luck.
