Apologies for not introducing myself in the audio! I struggled a bit to take on this topic at a high enough level to keep it to about a half hour, because every subtopic is nuanced and the details are always technical.
Not sure how well it worked out but my intention was to focus mainly on the 2 most common examples - hiding messages in text and in images.
Topics I mentioned:
- encryption vs steganography
- who uses steganography and for what purpose?
- hiding text in text
- hiding data in images using LSB encoding
- hiding data in other places
- steganalysis
If you want to leave feedback, consider saying whether you think it would be more useful to talk about:
- using the most popular tools and software
- detailed look at specific steganographic techniques
- case studies
in the unlikely case that I do a followup episode (I doubt there's a strong interest in this topic)
