Um, funny that you mention it. I already do exactly this. I have set up
scripts to send fake data that looks like encrypted goodies. I've been
doing it for years.
If it's distinguishable from random, it doesn't look like encrypted
goodies. And if it isn't, it doesn't look like anything.
It is easy to set up several tor hidden services and have them talk to
each other with randomly-timed, random gibberish
Randomly re-opening an 18-month-old thread is easy too. That doesn't
mean it's bright.
Does it then mean mean commenting about the obvious is bright? Do you
tend to nitpick as a means of trying to elevate yourself above other people?
Do you spend your time isolating and attacking the village idiot so you
can look clever? Do you fill this group up with critique of the usual
crank's drivel while you are not innovating any thing?
Do your comments here are add anything of value to the art of
cryptology? Or do your comments distract from fruitful labor in that regard?
Is the purpose of your posts here is to elevate yourself over others who
are already in the gutter? If one can't be king of Rome can he at least
be king of the royal outhouse?

I presume (and I hope) that I have wasted a lot of the spooks' time over
the years.
They're not interested. If they want to know your secrets, they have
more cost-effective (and painful) techniques to find them out than
trying to decrypt your gibberish.
"They're not interested?" Since when did you become an apologist and propagandist for the empire? Are you a moldy Angloid Canzcuck? serious question. Are you?
Everyone in here with two brain cells to rub together knows that the intelligence services don't just look for the needle in the haystack.
They take the whole haystack. If they're not interested in everyone's communication then why are they taking the whole haystack?
If "they're not interested" in people's encrypted gibberish then what of
PRISM, XKeyScore, Echelon, Shadownet, Operation Glowing Symphony, and billion-dollar IIA protocols? Do you believe everyone in this group is
that ignorant? Or are you that ignorant? Big reveal, people. Choose one.
