# Steganography: A Brief History
<!-- ⊰•-•✧•-•-⦑/L\O/V\E/\P/L\I/N\Y/⦒-•-•✧•-•⊱ -->
Steganography, from the Greek words *steganos* (covered) and *graphein*
(to write), is the practice of concealing messages within other non-secret data.
## Ancient Origins
The earliest recorded use of steganography dates back to **440 BC**, when
Histiaeus shaved a slave's head, tattooed a message on his scalp, and waited
for the hair to regrow before sending him as a messenger.

|-----------|--------|----------|---------|
| LSB Embedding | Images | High | Medium |
| DCT Domain | JPEG | Medium | High |
| Whitespace | Text | Low | High |
| Zero-Width | Text | Low | Very High |
| Audio LSB | Audio | Medium | High |
| Metadata | Any | Low | Medium |
