Steganography with Flickr

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you'll-just-have-to-look-harder dept.

yiangocy writes "Steganography is not something new, there have been techniques and available programs for hiding data in pictures/audio files for a long time now. However, one step further is using popular online photo sharing sites, such as Flickr in hiding your data, successfully."

    I'm Sorry, the posting you just made is against the Slashdot posting terms.
    We believe you are a terrorist trying to hide data within your non-conformist post text.

    After a detailed analysis of the contents of your posting, the waveform coeficients do not conform to standard slashdot thinking, more precisely, your posting failed to contain the phrases "first post", "in soviet russia" or "hot grits".

    Please remove the hidden message and try again.

  4. stegnography in Mona Lisa by woverly · · Score: 5, Funny

    A couple of years ago newspapers and network news showed the cabin layout of a 747 shown inside the Mona Lisa, supposively used by terrorists. What supprised me was how little attention was payed to the fact that nobody was giving credit to Leonardo da Vinci for inventing the 747.

    Why you are right there is NO legitimate use for this.

    Only terrorists would use it to get information out like proof that GW bush knew there was no WMD's. or a secret Oval office taping that has "... I don't care the cost in american lives, I need to get saddam for daddy! You do not disrespect a bush! and he said bad things about my mommy..." or maybe those secret laws that are passed that you can not even be told about... Yes only TERRORISTS would get that information out so that the populace knew the truth...

    as we all know the truth only supports terrorism! Be a good american! Join the Bush youth league! REport all unamerican activities to your local Homeland Security officer!

    All hail bush! All hail bush!

    A free mind is a dangerous mind!

    posting anon to avoid being turned in for unamerican thought.

    Would be to zip all your files together, encrypt them, then share them on Kazaa as "hot XXX teen pporn pr0n tryout mother daughter incest dog sex sex sex.avi." You data will never be lost completely ;-)
