Steganography is the art and science of hiding data in a transmission medium. It is a sub-discipline of security systems. In this paper we present a study carried out to compare the performance of some common Steganographic tools distributed online. We focus our analysis on systems that use digital images as transmission carriers. A number of these systems exceptionally do not support embedding images rather they allow text embedding; therefore, we constrained the tools to those which embed images files. Visual inspection and statistical comparison methods are the main performance measurements we rely on. This study is an introductory part of a bigger research project aimed at introducing a robust and high payload Steganographic algorithm.
