Status

NEW Package, not in Debian

Availability

Other information

Lintian clean (unstable)
Pbuilder tested

Control file content

Package: stegsnow
Version: 20060213-1
Section: misc
Priority: optional
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1)
Installed-Size: 36
Maintainer: Jari Aalto <***@cante.net>
Description: whitespace steganography for text files
The program snow is used to conceal messages in ASCII text by
appending whitespace to the end of lines. Because spaces and tabs are
generally not visible in text viewers, the message is effectively
hidden from casual observers. And if the built-in encryption is used,
the message cannot be read even if it is detected.
.
Snow exploits the steganographic nature of whitespace. Locating
trailing whitespace in text is like finding a polar bear in a
snowstorm (which, by the way, explains the logo). And it uses the ICE
encryption algorithm, so the name is thematically consistent.

Seems highly similar to snowdrop which is already packaged..

Thanks. I'll add reference to the manual page.

I don't believe diversity hurts.

It adds load to the mirrors, and unless there is any significant
difference between the two, it's not really diversity.

Um, they're completely different apps. This "stegsnow" app is a
steganography codec (with optional encryption), whereas "snowdrop" does
watermarking.

John ! Since this email isn't signed, you can't really tell it's from
Buttery! me; I'll hopefully have my computer working normally again
www.io.c! soon, but until then...gotta love catastrophic drive failure.
om/~john! Mmm, rdiff-backup to the rescue!
