OpenStego is a tool implemented in Java for generic steganography,
|
||
|
|
with support for password-based encryption of the data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- OpenStego is written in pure Java and should run on all platforms
|
||
|
|
supported by java. It has been tested on MS Windows and Linux,
|
||
|
|
but should not have any problem on other platforms too. Please
|
||
|
|
report bugs if you find any.
|
||
|
|
- It supports password-based encryption of data for additional
|
||
|
|
layer of security. DES algorithm is used for data encryption,
|
||
|
|
along with MD5 hashing to derive the DES key from the password
|
||
|
|
provided.
|
||
|
|
- It uses a plugin based architecture, where various plugins can
|
||
|
|
be created for different kind of Steganographic algorithms.
|
||
|
|
Currently, it supports two plugins - LSB (Using Least Significant
|
||
|
|
Bit of Image Pixels) and RandomLSB (Randomized LSB), but new
|
||
|
|
plugins can be created for other algorithms like DCT, FFT, etc.
|
||
|
|
Plugins can also be easily added for other type of cover files
|
||
|
|
like Audio files.
|
||
|
|
- LSB plugins support only 24 bpp images. Support for additional
|
||
|
|
image formats (like BMP, TIF, etc.) could be added by installing
|
||
|
|
Java Advanced Imaging (JAI).
|
||
|
|
- LSB plugins also support generation of random images containing
|
||
|
|
noise to be used as cover file. The size of the generated random
|
||
|
|
image is the minimum possible size required to embed the given data.
