• Lol I’m currently like experimenting with steganography.

        Like a very simple example is say:

        First letter of word is A-M = bit 0
        First letter of word is N-Z = bit 1

        Then count syllabels:

        Odd number of syllabels = bit 0
        Even number of syllabels = bit 1

        So this simple method can encode 2 bits with one word.

        So, write this ciphertext as a free verse poem.

        Write something very innocuous like… say, about nature

        You need 5 bits to denote a 32 character space, enough for the english a-z

        So: 5 bits = 1 English letter

        You’d need 18 “cipher words” (aka: the words in the “poem”) to denote 36 bits, enough to write a “fuckyou”, which costs 35 bits (cuz 5 bits x 7 letters = 35 bits)

        Doubt parents will find out unless they work for the NSA.

        I mean, no parent actually ban their kids from writing poetry, right? It looks education related after all.

          That is pretty smart, but that parent would have founds poems suspicious. This is the same parent that said their kid had somehow convinced all their teachers to lie about them going to chess club to cover for her, because of course they were outside being up to no good.
