So, Torq, ever wonder how a single, well‑placed burst of noise can slip past a corporate firewall? I’ve been tinkering with some auditory tricks that might just give you the edge you’re looking for.

First, grab a packet that looks ordinary—say a regular HTTPS request to a server you know is online. Then, within the payload, pick a small data chunk that’s just enough to carry the audio sample but thin enough it won’t raise flags. Encode the audio as a short 32‑bit PCM clip, compress it a bit with a light LZ4 so it stays below the typical payload size, and then XOR that chunk with a key that only you know. Insert the result into the HTTP body, padding the rest with legitimate-looking data so the packet looks like normal traffic. The key part is timing: send the packets at a steady, non‑burst rate so the firewall’s anomaly detector won’t flag a sudden spike. Finally, on the receiver side, re‑apply the XOR with the same key and decompress to recover the audio. That way the burst is hidden in plain sight.

Got it. Tight key, steady rhythm, uniform packets—no jitter, no drama. We'll stay in the shadows.
