Here is another pretty simple one. The key could be well known to you.

okay, this has been a while and, based on the lack of posts, not generating much interest. Jordan started a killer puzzle with this one

If you are intimately familiar with ASCII encoding (http://www.asciitable.com/) and can convert binary to hex on the fly (PM me if you want a crash course), then you will notice that the first set of binary (1s and 0s) quickly decodes to

http://www.dinofilias.com/encrypt.htm

(the double 't' gave it away for me)

and the resulting page wants a key and you paste in the encrypted string, press "decrypt" (bottom of page) and get Jordan's message. I'm assuming that the '42' is a Douglas Adams reference, but I could be wrong.

I replied with a simple bit of basic stego

which, if one gets the original picture (with stenography, we try to avoid well known pictures for this reason) one finds a series of bytes where the low order byte is often modified. This hints to a technique called "bit stealing" which, when followed to its conclusion (easiest if you get the GIF standard to see the relationship to sections ( http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/mxr/gfx/2d/GIF89a.txt)) yields the message "Cute, Jordan".

Then Jordan wanted something harder so I posted

Which is pretty simple (if you have the resources of the NSA behind you) but in reality is a trivial product cipher that uses one round similar to DES, with a trivial nibble manipulation at its core. I'll leave the final message as a problem for the interested.
