Oh, thanks, old man, that is really very nice

I can always count on you for help and friendly advice

Though I've never seen a sword of quite that shape or size

It was an archive of hacker/skiddie-friendly files hidden within that image. Things likes tools to overload/flood a website or server, keyloggers, and other things to leave behind, like offensive images or even a virus.

It's been 10+ years since I've seen it float around though.
