You got all wrong...
This is not an exploit, but a poor way of obfuscating your JavaScript code...
If you read the original material (http://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2015ams/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/D1T1-Saumil-Shah-Stegosploit-Hacking-with-Pictures.pdf), you will understand that the problem is not by looking at the image, but that the very same image used as the source of a script tag!!!
So actually "I don’t need to host a blog, I don’t need to host a website at all. I don’t even need to register a domain" is a false statement (and I'm tempted to say that is for creating fear just for self promotion) as you DO need a full html page with a script and an image tag that point to the very same image...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
