Yeah I thought steganography was hiding messages in images.
Ok I just looked it up, apparently it can be anything. Images, audio, video, or even text.
I remember I had this Perl module once that would convert passwords into a binary string and then convert that string into spaces and tabs. Looked like a blank file. I guess that was technically steganography.
If i understand correctly it is a message within a blank file. So it is not steganography, I suppose.
At least I dont think a seemingly blank file would pass as a valid message.
That’s what I think is defining for steganography is that it is deceptive because you might not assume another secret message is hidden within the original message.

No, that’s encoding. If you hid that message inside another message, that would be steganography.
It is a message hidden in a message. The hidden message is the binary password, and the container message is “[blank]”
