Hello all,
<snip other good stuff>
BTW as for some of the myths that accompany these covert ops in cyberspace: you would be really surprised to learn how sophisticated criminals have already been caught simply by sending them HTML email that contained an invisible web bug, the kind that is in your spam every day. It is mostly still the human factor, that gives one away, there is mostly no need to go head-on against really strong crypto or stego. Approach it from the human side and you are there much faster. BTW as for the "NSA-proof"-nes of PGP: It is not uncrackable. Nothing is, given the right amount of time and resources on your hands. The only question is, does it need to be? And is it worth it? If you can get at the info in say 10,000 years from now than clearly this is not an option. And there is no need to go there either, when all you need is some attractive woman and many men will readily tell more than you had ever hoped for. :-P
