There is definitely something more appealing to old methods. :) I red
somewhere that around 2% of all the images posted on UseNet back in the early
2000s contained stegano messages. This is also a good way. When you think
about it and be creative, you can do a lot.

Last year I created a Russian Doll as a forensic CTF challenge. The 40k file
had 10 layers, each containing a flag using different techniques. If you want
to hide something and have some knowledge, it can be very hard to find it,
even without using encryption. Hiding in plain sight...
