The short answer: you can't reproduce it. Because it never happened in the first place. Not to mention that Outguess doesn't provide the "data type" of the output - you just get the bits. The entire thing is a badly-executed hoax.

BTW this looks like the tool that could have created the output format from the twitter screenshot: https://github.com/DominicBreuker/stego-toolkit/blob/master/.... That repo has a Dockerfile so you can build the Docker image to see if you can recreate their results.
I agree; I just thought simply asking first might help prove out that there's nothing here. Normally, I'd hard pass on "content" like this, but apparently enough people upvoted this to make it to the front page of HN.
