A tool to conceal files into images
npm install steganographyConceals any type of file into images.
It uses a LSB algorithm. The idea comes from http://domnit.org/blog/2007/02/stepic-explanation.html
Check a blog post with an example: https://rodrigouroz.github.io/2016/06/13/hiding-things-at-plain-sight/
Python is required.
This is aimed to be installed globally as a command line tool
npm install -g steganography
Or, clone this repository and run npm install
This module depends on lwip, check setup instructions for your system if the installation fails
It has two different actions
Embeds a file into a host image. Outputs the host file with the concealed file embedded as a new file
steganography embed
By default output_file is 'output.png' in the same folder
If password is used the data is encrypted with AES256. You'll need the password to retrieve the embedded file
steganography embed host.jpg secret.pdf output secret-password
This will create the file output.png in the current folder. You can share this file with anyone.
They will need the password to recover the embedded file.
Retrieves a concealed file from an image.
steganography dig-up
By default output_folder is the current folder.
steganography dig-up output.png ./ secret-password
