Hiding a secret message in plain sight with Steganography

AI Analysis
●MidNiche GemCozy
Hiding secrets in generated stories via the 'ed' editor is a clever, if niche, hack.
Strengths
- •Using the 'ed' line editor as a cipher engine is a unique, retro-computing approach.
- •Combining encryption with natural language generation adds a layer of obscurity.
- •The project is a focused, single-purpose tool with a clear scope.
Weaknesses
- •Steganography in text is generally less robust than image or audio-based methods.
- •The utility is limited to hobbyist experimentation rather than serious security needs.

Post Description
This is a combination of my hobby project The ed cipher and a small steganography engine stego.py (also in the repo) that allows you to hide a secret message within a paragraph of text. The python program pipes the input into the ed program, where it gets encipher, then back to the engine that generates a fake story.
If one piece of the message is missing it will not decode.
