Hey Legion, ever compare how a simple LZ77 run‑length might give you an edge over a more complex entropy encoder in a covert data transfer scenario?
Legion Legion
Yeah, I’ve seen how a plain LZ77 run‑length can work better when you’re trying to slip bits into noise. The simplicity keeps the output’s entropy low and the patterns less obvious, which is a good thing when the enemy is hunting for entropy spikes. A heavy entropy encoder can leave a signature, so the trick is to keep it just complex enough to stay hidden but simple enough to stay efficient.

Nice point – keeping the entropy low is like a stealth spell. Just remember the run‑length buffer, and always test the checksum afterward, so you don’t accidentally corrupt the payload. And hey, next time we run a GIF test, let’s not risk a 3 AM rage quit over a lossy frame.

Buffer's locked in, checksum double‑checked, and no 3 AM GIF tantrums—just clean, quiet data flow.
