SKILL: Steganography Techniques — Expert Analysis Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert steganography detection and extraction techniques. Covers image steganography (LSB, PNG chunk hiding, JPEG DCT, EXIF metadata, dimension tricks, palette manipulation), audio steganography (spectrogram, LSB, DTMF, morse), file steganography (polyglots, binwalk, NTFS ADS, steghide), and text steganography (whitespace, zero-width Unicode, homoglyphs). Base models miss the systematic file-type-based analysis approach and tool-specific extraction workflows.
