steganographic swiss army knife.\n\n## Features\n\n\n\u003c!--- Encoding and decoding of images/text/binary files into audio/photo/movie files--\u003e\n- Cross platform (MacOS, Windows, Linux)\n- Encoding and decoding of images/text/binary files into photos (audio/video coming soon)\n- Fast and nearly undetectable encoding (to the human eye).\n- Smart `stdin`/`stdout` detection (try piping to `stego` instead of using `--payload`)\n- lossless decoding of data\n- Simple, stateless CLI\n- Zero system-dependencies (standalone binary) \n\n## ⚒ Usage\n\n```bash\n\n# Text encoding/decoding\n\n# Encodes the message \"Hello, Stego!\" into the provided image\nstego encode text --input image.png --output encoded-image.png --payload \"Hello, Stego\\!\" \n\n# Decodes and prints out the encoded message (\"Hello, Stego!\") hidden in the provided image\nstego decode text --input encoded-image.png \n\n# File encoding/decoding\n\n# Encodes the file hidden.docx into the provided image\nstego encode file --input image.png --output encoded-image.png --payload hidden.docx \n\n# Decodes and saves the content to decoded.docx from the provided image\nstego decode file --input encoded-image.png --output decoded.docx\n\n# Stdin detection (for text-encoding)\necho \"Hello, Stego\\!\" | stego encode text --input image.png --output encoded-image.png\n\n# Help\nstego --help\nstego encode --help\nstego decode --help\n```\n\n\n## 📦 Installation\n\n```bash\ncargo install stego\n```\n\nOR\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/ajmwagar/stego\ncd stego\ncargo install --path ./ --force\n```\n\n## 🚥 Roadmap\n\n- [x] CLI\n- [x] Encoding / Decoding of text\n- [x] Encoding / Decoding of images **(currently broken see [#5](https://github.com/ajmwagar/stego/issues/5))**\n- [x] Encoding / Decoding of binary files\n- [x] Add logging\n- [ ] Better error handling/messages\n- [ ] Add file encryption\n- [ ] Add file compression\n- [ ] CI/Test suite\n- [ ] Trait based API for custom datatypes\n- [ ] [bincode](https://github.com/servo/bincode) support\n- [ ] Encoding / Decoding of audio files\n- [ ] Encoding / Decoding of video files\n- [ ] Jurassic Park\n- [ ] Another mass extinction\n- [ ] ???\n\n## 🤝 Acknowledgments \u0026 Contributors\n\n`stego` wouldn't be possible without:\n\n- Nathan Laha ([@TheDekuTree](https://github.com/TheDekuTree))\n- Avery Wagar ([@ajmwagar](https://github.com/ajmwagar))\n\n`stego` was inspired by:\n- [`xsv`](https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv)\n- [`LSBPython`](https://github.com/RobinDavid/LSB-Steganography)\n\n\n##
