- unimpressive 13y agoMentioning a steganographic technique implies that you use it, negating the point.
- peter_l_downs 13y ago*speaking hypothetically of course.
- scott_karana 13y agoNot completely. How many video files does he have? Where is it stored? I'm curious now though, do Truecrypt volumes have a magic number, in which case it's still easy to find, or are they fully crypographically random in appearance, making this a known-needle in a large haystack problem?
- Houshalter 13y agoTruecrypt claims an encrypted volume is indistinguishable from random data. I do not know if this is the case though. Obviously don't give it the file a stupid name or extension like "encryptedfiles.tc" or leave it open in your file history, etc. It's also pretty suspicious if someone has a file of megabytes of random data.
- coin 13y agoThe file size will far exceed the normal size of the video - easily detectable.
