ASCII Art Steganography 120
bigearcow writes "ASCII art is nothing new, but this site takes it one step further by allowing you to embed another data file within the image. The resulting ASCII art remains printable (i.e. no special unicode symbols) — this means you can print the image out, hang it on your wall, and have it look like an innocent ASCII art when it's hiding a secret document of your choice." You'll need a small (200x200 pixel max) base image from which the ASCII art will be built.

But yes, it's not exactly difficult to have ascii art embed a message. It's text afterall.

Still, it's good to know we slashdotted google. I bet that hasn't happened for a while.

Real Men don't make backups. They embed their private data into ASCII art and let the world mirror it.

I heard you like pictures, so we put a ASCII image text string in your ASCII image, so you can look at a picture while you look at a picture

Back in the 80s it was the height of geek couture to have an ASCII printout of Princess Leia adorning your wall.
