If you had a language model (say, trained on existing comments from Reddit), you could encode the data in the comments in English, and make the abuse a little more subtle.

> who would suspect reddit as a command server Everyone who used IRC as a command server from years past. It turns out that things useful for human communication tend to be useful for computer communication. Usenet, Email... hell... I'm sure BBS would have been used if modems were popular enough back in the day.
actually, i personally witnessed C&C based on BBS :)
There should be a contest: Who can find the most implausible data storage medium? (Rated according to various criteria such as ingenuity, reliability, max. data read/write rates, latency, storage size, costs…)

.. Much like how gfycat encodes their links eg.: - https://gfycat.com/JaggedIdealFrillneckedlizard - https://gfycat.com/ThirstyAmbitiousBuzzard - https://gfycat.com/AlertSpicyBlueandgoldmackaw
Well there's some pretty amusing abuse. I recall there was a botnet a while back that got it's commands from a subreddit as well. Quite brilliant actually- who would suspect reddit as a command server?

A stenographed image embedded in a Word document, printed and faxed to a document archive that scans and digitizes it, embeds the scan in a PDF, and emails it back to you.

Here's my entry. https://github.com/ryancdotorg/dnsstore
Interesting about DNS stores is they save a round trip, so it's not just a weird abuse of the protocol to store content, it's also potentially a performance optimisation.

I wonder if there are any libraries that can do this? I was thinking of writing a password generator web-app that creates full diceware sentences (TheBlubberyPythonFloatedDownThePurpleFunicular == lots of entropy and easy to remember), but I'd need a decent language model for that. (And I don't feel motivated enough to write my own.)
If you're making full sentences anyway, the grammar of the sentence doesn't need to change much. The vast majority of the entropy is already in the words themselves.
Example sentence (generated by me, not a RNG): "the tiny hairy fish quickly paints a big scary monster".
EDIT: With 10 words, each from the 252 most common words... sentences of this type would have an entropy of more than 10^24 or 2^80. I guess "articles" are pretty much "The" vs "A / An" however, so there really are only 8 words of note...

Why not "Article Adjective Adjective Noun Adverb Verb Article Adjective Adjective Noun"? If you're making full sentences anyway, the grammar of the sentence doesn't need to change much.

In regards to word commonality, I'm pretty sure you could in fact use something like the 5000 most common words. The people who care about this kind of stuff tend to have large vocabularies!
