Hacktivismo to Release Steganography Tool

Apparently, it will make it easy for persecuted political groups to hide messages in images. The group has links to the Cult of the Dead Cow, which is, of course, working on Peek-a-Booty."

    i'm sure the question on everyone's mind is 'are the tools going to be free as in software?'

    aren't the sites that host these tools going to be the first sites to be filtered by oppresive governments and thus rendered unusable due to not being able to get them?

    What do they mean by persecuted anyway? One could argue that the Taliban/Al Qaeda are persecuted political groups...

    That's correct, but it could also work for groups like the Falun Gong. The Falun Gong is a religous movement that has suffered much oppression in China.
