Due: First part due Monday April 13th by 11:59pm
Second part due Tuesday April 21 at the beginning of class.
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 https://steg.drupalgardens.com/stegdownload and download the version of Steg for your system (Windows/Mac/Linux supported)
Step 1:
Use three separate image files as carrier files. Use Comp199=001 as the passcode.
Put these three files into a folder, zip the entire folder into a single zip file and submit it via email. (your zip file needs to be no more than 100 mb)
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 which includes the following sections
Submit the paper in class on Tuesday April 21.
