Its a CHALLENGE...Can You Solve This Mystery ?????

Hi everyone,

Step - 1

Open the embedded picture. You can see one girl, right? OK.

Step - 2

Save this image to any folder in your PC.
Open that folder and select thumbnails from view menu.
Now what you see?

Can anyone solve the mystery behind it??

If you crack it then please let me know too.

This is an old one, the thumbnail data of an image can very well be manipulated.

But anyway, on *nix I see the same picture as the thumbnail. Might be my thumbnailer being clever

Edit: Read more about EXIF data to understand how. EXIF data contains a load of things detailing an image file.

very old . everyone knows !

o.o

can anyone pls explain in detail how the thumbnail data can be manipulated?

Wont work in Vista

Remember someone saying that it is due to some EXIF metadata.

Can anyone tell the exact details pls..

Interesting find. It even works on my phone. The thumbnail shows the girl with some guy but opening the image shows just the girl.

Buddy you should google for EXIF! Basically its a variant of JPG or JPEG files with the difference that it stores a lot of header information like thumnails etc. So basically, the thumbnail is stored in the image header and as such can be modified as needed!
