Does anybody know what tool they are talking about? I am not looking for a literal translation, I am looking for the name of the tool. Thanks.

Text-hide software, program, technique /TextHide
Explanation:
There is a software called TextHide.

You want to send someone an encrypted message but sometimes cryptography isn't enough, for example it might be illegal to use cryptography in some countries and you could get arrested if you are caught using cryptography.

So, you need to disguise your message so that it isn't obvious to any eavesdropper that there is even a message at all.Hiding the message in this way is commonly known as Steganography.

One way to do this is to hide your message inside a picture or sound file. This sounds extremely complicated but once you know how it works it is actually quite simple.

The technique used in this program is to hide the message inside the least significant bits of each pixel within a bitmap
