"Steghide is a program to `hide' data in various kinds of image and audio
files. This practice is known as @dfn{steganography}, but the method used by
steghide is not very secure and should not be used where security is at stake.
Even if a password is used, steghide offers little plausible deniability.
Nonetheless, neither color nor sample frequencies are changed, making the
embedding resistant against first-order statistical tests not aimed
specifically at this tool.")
