*stego* is a steganographic swiss army knife.
## Features
- Cross platform (MacOS, Windows, Linux)
- Encoding and decoding of images/text/binary files into photos (audio/video coming soon)
- Fast and nearly undetectable encoding (to the human eye).
- Smart `stdin`/`stdout` detection (try piping to `stego` instead of using `--payload`)
- lossless decoding of data
- Simple, stateless CLI
- Zero system-dependencies (standalone binary)
## ⚒ Usage
```bash
# Text encoding/decoding
# Encodes the message "Hello, Stego!" into the provided image
stego encode text --input image.png --output encoded-image.png --payload "Hello, Stego\!"
# Decodes and prints out the encoded message ("Hello, Stego!") hidden in the provided image
stego decode text --input encoded-image.png
# File encoding/decoding
# Encodes the file hidden.docx into the provided image
stego encode file --input image.png --output encoded-image.png --payload hidden.docx
# Decodes and saves the content to decoded.docx from the provided image
stego decode file --input encoded-image.png --output decoded.docx
# Stdin detection (for text-encoding)
echo "Hello, Stego\!" | stego encode text --input image.png --output encoded-image.png
# Help
stego --help
stego encode --help
stego decode --help
```
