Show HN: Stegcore – steganography and steganalysis in one Rust binary
Stegcore is a Rust-based tool that combines steganography (hiding data in media) and steganalysis (detecting hidden data) into a single binary. It allows users to embed secret messages in images and also analyze files for signs of steganography.
Background
- Steganography is the practice of hiding data inside other, seemingly innocent data — like concealing a message inside an image file, audio clip, or video, so that no one even knows the secret data is there. It differs from encryption, which makes a message unreadable but still obviously hidden (e.g., "encrypted.txt").
