First Steganographic Image Found In The Wild

Posted by timothy on from the monkeying-with-images dept.

Niels Provos writes: "After months of searching for steganographic content on eBay and elsewhere -- downloading millions of images, we were finally able to find an image with a stegangraphic message hidden in it. Stegdetect and Stegbreak made short process with it. It took less than a second to compute the secret key necessary to extract the hidden message. Two commands at the prompt, and we found the hidden message to be an image of B-52 scrapyard. Right off Terraserver."

    Do you really think that a backward nation and anti-tech people like Taliban would resort to internet communication?

    If any such evidence is found it has been fabricated by the hawks in the Bush cabinet.

    Just watch how they'll "find" evidence to "justify" attacks on Iraq in the next few days...
