This makes me think of something that I probably missed in the bowels of someone's long previous stego posting (um, stego^stego? :-)), how would you go about either: Stegoing an encrypted partition as "blank" hard drive space without actually writing over it unless you wanted to? or, even, Stegoing an encrypted partition as not even *there* at all? Doesn't seem like it would be too hard conceptually (hah!) and, if done, might actually defeat such Archie-look-up-the-dress as the British customsfolk are wont to do these days. Obviously, even if the partition were found, it would look, to sniffer programs, as if it were empty, right? :-). Cheers, Bob Hettinga ----------------- Robert A.
