Expand a buffer to a specified length. If the buffer is smaller than the specified length, the remaining space is filled with random bytes. A 32-bit Unsigned Big-Endian Integer containing the length of the data is always prepended to the buffer.

This module can be used for obfuscating an encrypted file's size for plausible deniability.

## Installation

    npm install buffer-noise

## Usage

```js

const size = 25

const { expand, shrink } = require('buffer-noise')(size)

const data = Buffer.from('Hello World!')

const newData = expand(data)

console.log(data, newData)

// Prints:

// 

// 

assert(newData.length === size)

assert(shrink(newData).equals(data))

```
