As this is a steganography challenge, I have uploaded the image https://futureboy.us/stegano/decinput.html and submitted the image.

On submitting the image, I got this string,

\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xE\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xZ\28x\32x\38x-\28x\32x\38xC\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xT\28x\32x\38xF\28x\32x\38x{N\28x\32x\38xO\28x\32x\38xW\28x\32x\38x_\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xY\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xO\28x\32x\38xU_\28x\32x\38xS\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xE\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xE\28x\32x\38x_\28x\32x\38xM\28x\32x\38xE\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x_\28x\32x\38xN\28x\32x\38xI\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38xC\28x\32x\38xE\28x\32x\38x}\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x\28x\32x\38x
