    That’s not what steganography is. There is no hidden message here.

      Yeah I thought steganography was hiding messages in images.

      Ok I just looked it up, apparently it can be anything. Images, audio, video, or even text.

      I remember I had this Perl module once that would convert passwords into a binary string and then convert that string into spaces and tabs. Looked like a blank file. I guess that was technically steganography.

        No, that’s encoding. If you hid that message inside another message, that would be steganography.

          It is a message hidden in a message. The hidden message is the binary password, and the container message is “[blank]
