A suspected member of the Al Qaeda terrorist group, arrested in May last year in Germany, was found with a memory stick hidden in his underwear. Police discovered the stick contained a password-protected folder with pornographic videos inside it, but suspicious computer forensic experts thought there must be more. After weeks of analysis, they determined that one of the pornographic videos contained concealed documents detailing Al Qaeda operations and plans.
The files were hidden in the video file through a process called steganography or concealed writing. The term steganography includes methods used for centuries, such as invisible ink, but now also includes techniques such as concealing (often unencrypted) content inside a digital image, video or audio file. Steganography conceals data within “plain sight,” which makes it difficult to detect.
Al Qaeda suspect's porn film found to contain treasure trove of secret documents
I caught this story today, and found it to be pretty strange. How can the reader be sure that this person simply didn't have porn which he wished to hide because of his religious background? How can the reader be sure that this encoded information wasn't later planted? Some of the user comments on the site are impressive. They're asking tough questions which is a must these days.
It's tough to say what this is about... hidden messages, documents in a porn file? Isn't that the first place anyone would look? Anyway, the MSM is worthy of following if for nothing else than to see what shit they are spreading, to see how ridiculous they can get.
I also am amzed by the comments following news stories these days. People are just picking them apart. It's encouraging.
