Steganography Tips and Tricks
*Always encrypt your message prior to using steganography to hide it *Hide your stego-medium among other media of the same type, or in a unsuspicious location *Destroy the original cover-medium so that the only version of it that remains is the stego-medium
•Encryption not only provides another layer of protection for your message, it also makes the hidden message more difficult to detect.
•It has been discussed previously that uploading a stego-image back to the digital camera that took the original cover-image could help obscure it .  Pictures “still in the camera” may be less suspicious than pictures in a directory called “steg” on your computer.
•By destroying the original cover-medium, there is less chance of an attacker being able to find it and compare it to the stego-medium to analyze the differences.
