Explanation
Steganalysis is the discipline of detecting, extracting, and analyzing data that has been concealed within a carrier file using steganographic techniques. It is the direct counter-discipline to steganography, using statistical analysis, visual inspection, and tool-based detection. Encryption and decryption operate on ciphertext - they obscure meaning but do not detect hidden payloads. Cryptanalysis targets encrypted data, not steganographic embedding. Only steganalysis is purpose-built to 'beat' steganography.
