    Well, Probably you're right. My sarcasm is bad :-O . Anyway, you know, he promised me a sample text, done in a week. I'm not going to blame him if he'll not able to produce the sample. I'm just curious about. :) BTW I've to admit I'm even more curous about your ideas, 'cause I cannot figure out a method for hiding info in a plain text file, but probably I'm lacking of imagination. Of course, I know, if someone will find a good trick then it probably will remain a secret. :rolleyes:

    If you mix this thread with the recent one in the lounge about the stuff circulating the web on permuting the letters within a word whilst retaining the human readability, here is another (new?) method of hiding messages within human readable text. The information is actually in the permutation used. Damn, now I've told everyone so I can't apply for the patent... Then again, maybe those messages circulating the web demonstrating the readability of permuted words actually contain hidden messages....

            I never claimed it to be revolutionary and its very very simple.Give ur email and i will send u the files.Sorry for being late.My net was down for the last two days.I told u guys...i am just a novice in compared to you.But what excited me was...all the steganography softwares available on net changes the file size and appends the data. As i know u guys are far more superior than me so i just came here to learn not to prove anything...Anyway...give me ur email i will send u the files.

                    The file has been sent to you; however it got hidden perfectly between the previous and next messages, so you can't notice it unless you apply the newest decoding algorithm to it first. :)

                            It was a fairly ambitious undertaking, defying reality like that.

                            What has the future in store for this strange being, born of a breath, of perishable tissue, yet Immortal, with his powers fearful and Divine? What magic will be wrought by him in the end? What is to be his greatest deed, his crowning achievement?

                                Although I too seriously doubt this, I am not one for deliberately calling out someone in a new thread. Certainly if they step on the pillory I'll flog a bit also, that's human nature. But I generally don't try to drag them back to the pillory for more ridicule. I hope, that he has pulled up some of the hex editors, and other editors and realized that the idea is simple: it is too simple. Hiding data from the least qualified threat (the person who only knows how to use notepad), is not a very effective algorithm. Perhaps he has thrown out the algorithm and is trying for another. Who knows? Though he has given me some ideas, I may have to try it when I get the time. But mine would definitely change the text. Don't worry, no magic or infinite compression here, my wiccan skills are lacking, and outside of sitting on the data, I have only traditional ways of squashing bits down. :laugh:

                                I'm glad this new thread was started, otherwise I would have missed the original having been away for a few weeks - what a laugh!! That guy was certainly persistent. The only way I can think of hiding data in text is to use a key/index of some sort - take the first letter of the third word, fourth letter of the thirteenth word etc but this would require either the key to decode it or for the text to be specifically arranged so that certain letters are in certain positions, neither of which is practical or secure. If that is the method then it certainly isn't new - didn't Napoleon or some such character use the same method?

                                Apathy Rules - I suppose...

                                Its not the things you fear that come to get you but all the things that you don't expect
