i've mostly used it for embedding metadata into image assets to track internal leaks, but it definitely adds a layer of complexity. the tricky part is maintaining the
file integrity without causing visible artifacts or bit-rate degradation in the carrier file. if u mess up the LSB (least significant bit) encoding, the whole thing becomes obvious to anyone running a basic entropy analysis.
>the real danger isn't discovery, it's the overheadit makes the payload much harder to extract quickly during an incident responsehave u looked into using
Steghide
for testing ur workflows yet? it's a classic tool for seeing how much noise you can inject before the file looks suspicious
