Damn, too late again... but thanks for the info anyway.
But seriously, i'm quite curious about the 'strength' of the steganography used in spam mimic. It looks like a toy, but i think the idea is sound enough, if someone came up with a crypto-schema strong enough.
How about putting hidden messages in spam? Nobody bothers with those anymore, anyway.
Here's an example:
***SNORING KEEPING YOU FROM A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP ?*** tHIs proDuct has been featureD on national tv.doEs sNoring keep you up at night? tired of having to sleep in separate rooMs bEcauSe of Snoring? just tired of being tired becAuse of someone's snorinG? tired of hEaring how your snoring kept someone up all night? There is a safe, natural solution to your snoring problem...
And so on...
The steganographic schema could be a bit more advanced in the production version, but i think the basic idea is good enuff for a start.
This might sound like a stupid question (but then again I'm no steganography expert), but how exactly is packing the data in LSB's obvious?
Doesn't that become obvious only after the inclusion of headers and such? I mean that the distribution of 1's and 0's in an image should be pretty much the same, regardless of any hidden data.
The article is pretty light on technical details, so no answers from there.
We PC users feel inferior because of the recent study about mac users being more intelligent, so we need special cases to feel (or at least pretend to be) smarter.
Makes you wonder though... one day after the aforementoned study, now this?
Amen to that. I was running debian happily, but then I had terrible trouble upgrading to mozilla 1.0. Debian has it's points, but up-to-dateness isn't one of those.
Now I'm running gentoo, which pretty much solves the problem with binary only distributions (yeah, i know,
you can recompile with debian also.).

self-esteem complex, anyone?

I think Nullsoft would be a too high profile target for those wanting to take peer-to-peer down. No way they would actually do this.
One can always wish, though (I know i do...)
I second that recommendation. The film is a bit rambling, but still an excellent film.
They have an official website, which features a nice electronic music timeline and alright links section.
Has anybody noted that there are shitloads of Robert Wilsons who specialize in Sci-Fi/Paranoia/Conspiracy -subjects?
Robert Anton Wilson being a prime example.
