That is why you use steganography to hide the data. So to the person
inspecting, it looks just like garbled rubbish on disc.
However, if you apply that to your main system, that is kind of stupid,
as everyone will know you have a system there.

For those interested though, here the link to the dm-steg stuff.
Including a git repo.

Looks kind of unmaintained. Would require some crypt-analysis people
and coders to look at the code. To make sure it is sound.

Peer review and all that jazz.
