Description-en: steganography using ASCII files
This utility can conceal messages in ASCII text by appending whitespaces to
the end of lines. Because spaces and tabs are generally not visible in text
viewers, the message is effectively hidden from casual observers. And if the
built-in encryption is used, the message cannot be read even if it is detected.
.
About the name: locating trailing whitespace in text is like finding a polar
bear in a snowstorm. And it uses the ICE encryption algorithm, so the name is
thematically consistent.
.
This package is useful for personal security, forensics investigations and
other actions.
