3.4.2 Stealth v1.1

Stealth by Henry Hastur in and of itself is not a steganographic program or method. It is usually found with steganographic software on the Internet and is used to complement the steganographic methods. Stealth is a filter that strips off the PGP header that is on a PGP encrypted file. This leaves only the encrypted data. Why is this important? Applying steganography to an encrypted message is more secure than a "plain text" message. However, many encryption applications add header information to the encrypted message. This header information identifies the method used to encrypt the data.
