lo-fi spy: video, steganography, and you
summary
Demonstrates concrete steganography techniques for video: Least Significant Bit edits, alpha‑channel and pixel‑padding tricks, metadata stuffing, DCT/middle‑frequency and motion‑vector embedding, plus coverless approaches using hash collisions and generative models. Explains countermeasures—selection channels, adaptive embedding, error‑correcting and erasure codes—and uses Shamir secret sharing to tolerate dropped frames. Claims real‑time encoding experiments using the WebCodecs API are attempted but early results are less than promising, and standard steganalysis (histograms, wardens, ML) routinely detects naive methods.
