## Features

1) AES-128 encryption of input data

2) Random Least Significant Bit (LSB) pixel encoding

3) Supports plain text (raw string) data hiding

4) Supports the hiding of multiple files of any type (.pdf, .exe, .jpg, .png, .txt, .gif, etc.)

## Installation

*Python 3.6.8 or higher is required to run BPStegano*

```bash

git clone https://github.com/TapanSoni/BPStegano

cd BPStegano

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

```

## Usage

Windows

```python

python stegano.py

```

Linux

```python

python3 stegano.py

```

#### Hiding raw strings inside an image

BPStegano supports raw strings of any length (limited only by the size of the image).

#### Hiding files inside an image

BPStegano supports hiding of any type of file and any amount (limited only by the size of the image) inside an image.

#### Extracting raw strings from an image

BPStegano extracts the raw string and displays it for you in terminal.

#### Extracting files from an image

BPStegano only requires the secret key and the encoded image. It will recognize whether an image is hiding a raw string or files inside it.
