Hypertext
§Steganography with hypertext can also be done a variety of different ways:
§
*Similar methods as Plain Text
*Hypertext comment notation (view-source)
*Arrangement of content on a given page
*Presence or absence of content elements (images, phrases, etc.)
•Because hypertext is usually marked-up plaintext, most plaintext methods can be applied to the hypertext.
•You can also use hypertext tags that will not display in a browser to hide messages, such as the html comment tag (<!–- comment -->), hidden form fields, etc.
•Also, the placement or existence of certain content in the presentation of a webpage can be used to convey a message, such as if an image exists or appears in a certain place or if the navigation menu is ordered in a certain way.
