Can you Break PIE!

PIE (Pixel to Image Encoding) Challenges
To find out how secure PIE is we have put together a set of challenges for fun!!.  On this page you will find 2 encoded and encrypted images. PIE is Free to use in private and commercial applications on and off line and we don't make any money from it. Our objective is to make PIE as secure as possible. Anyone who can break the code and collect the data within will help us help you. By breaking PIE we can make it stronger, we have even included the source code to help you break it. 
Please have fun with the challenges and if you need more information please contact us. But note nearly everything is available on this blog.

Challenges

Challenge 1

Download this image. Its there but its transparent.

Imagine your on a web page or reading a PDF, Word document or even Excel. You could be looking at files in the background and not know about it!! Great for passing secret documents or messaging in plain sight. But is slightly larger than normal encoded files. But not by much.

Challenge 2

Download this image. Semi transparent.

Now I know what your thinking. This is just rubbish and it is. Its designed for multiple reasons. Stop AI from reading images online stored in the cloud, Sensitive or personal images can be stored online without worrying if someone will steal them, When sending files or images to a destination stops agencies or IP from knowing what your sending and lots more. Think about the possibilities.

See if you can break the encoding and encryption using what ever method you like.
You can use the PIE software and even modify the source code. The source code is available in the downloads section.

If you manage to get the contents, read it and follow the instructions.
