Due: First part due Monday Nov 4th at 1:50pm
Second part due Mon Nov 11th Wed 13th at 1:50pm
Details:
First read this article which explains a little more about steganography in plain English.
Rather than the very fancy and hard to use tool that I demonstrated in class. Lets use a simpler but easier to use version
Go to http://www.silenteye.org/ and download the version of SilentEye for your system (Windows/Mac/Linux supported)
Step 1:
Use three separate image files as carrier files. Use Comp199 as the passcode.
1) put your name in it.
2) put a file into it.
3) Put your name into the third file along with your major and encrypt it.
Put these three files into a folder, zip the entire folder into a single zip file and submit it on moodle.
Part 2:
I'll randomize the files and hand them back to different students. You will find the data stored in the files and report on it. You'll write a short paper (not one of our edited ones) which includes the following sections
Submit the paper in class on the 11th of November . 13th of November.
