Description

Messages can be hidden inside cover files such as images or audio by using steganography instead of ordinary visible encryption. This is useful for learning, privacy experiments, and security challenges where the existence of a message should be less obvious.

The tool handles hidden data and optional passphrases. Users should not assume it gives strong anonymity, and they should only embed content in files they are allowed to modify and share.
