The thing that bothers me about existing steganography code I've seen is that it all uses uncommon communication channels to hide data.

So here's one idea I've had as a place to hide a channel: network video, in particular CU-SeeMe video streams. CU-SeeMe is a lowtech

I think it likely that people will be sending GIFs and JPEGs to each other far more often than video.
