This is an open ended project to randomly stumble through the internet checking for steganography in images (basically hidden messages). Of course the best steganography is undetectable, but some common tools have shown to have statistical weaknesses that are detectable.

 . . .
The real work in checking the actual images has been done by Niels Provos, with stegdetect (which stegsearch requires), and you can see some analysis that he's done on Usenet, but the purpose here has been to audit images found on "random" websites.

A tidbit of data from someone doing research on steganography. Looks like they started but didn't really pursue it... Still, it's an interesting data point.
