Overview
Objective of this lab is to make students get familiarise with steganographic tools.

1. Classical steganographic methods.


2. Create a digital document with a hidden message.
3. Hiding images in an image.
4. Hiding text in an audio file.
Lab Tasks
Task 1: Simple classical steganography tools
Task 1a: Analyse the hidden message.

Figure 1: Invisible man

Task 2: Text Steganography


Task 2a: Adding text files inside an Image using the copy command.
Step 1: Create 2 text files text1.txt and text2.txt.
Step 2: Add text1.txt and text2.txt to text.zip/ text.rar.
Step 3: Copy the contents of text.rar to the steganographic image using the following
command

$copy /B stegno.jpg + text.rar new.jpg.

Task 3: Images Steganography


Task 3a: LSB Steganography

Python Program for LSB steganography


import numpy as np from PIL
import Image

def Encode(src, message, dest):

img = Image.open(src, 'r') width,


height = img.size
array = np.array(list(img.getdata()))

if img.mode == 'RGB': n = 3
elif img.mode == 'RGBA':
n=4 total_pixels = array.size//n

message += "$t3g0"
b_message = ''.join([format(ord(i), "08b") for i in message])
req_pixels = len(b_message)

if req_pixels > total_pixels: print("ERROR: Need larger file


size")

else:
index=0
for p in range(total_pixels): for q in
range(0, 3):
if index < req_pixels:
array[p][q] = int(bin(array[p][q])[2:9] +
b_message[index], 2)
index += 1

array=array.reshape(height, width, n)
enc_img = Image.fromarray(array.astype('uint8'), img.mode)
enc_img.save(dest)
print("Image Encoded Successfully")

Step 3: Make the Decoder Function

Firstly, we repeat a similar procedure of saving the pixels of the


source image as an array, figuring out the mode, and calculating the
total pixels.
def Decode(src):

img = Image.open(src, 'r')


array = np.array(list(img.getdata()))
if img.mode ==
'RGB': n = 3
elif img.mode ==
'RGBA': n = 4

total_pixels = array.size//n

def Decode(src):

img = Image.open(src, 'r')


array = np.array(list(img.getdata()))

if img.mode ==
'RGB': n = 3
elif img.mode == 'RGBA':
n = 4 total_pixels = array.size//n

hidden_bits = ""
for p in
range(total_pixels): for
q in range(0, 3):
hidden_bits += (bin(array[p][q])[2:][-1])

hidden_bits = [hidden_bits[i:i+8] for i in


range(0, len(hidden_bits), 8)]

message = ""
for i in
range(len(hidden_bits)): if
message[-5:] == "$t3g0":
break
else:
message += chr(int(hidden_bits[i],
2)) if "$t3g0" in message:
print("Hidden Message:", message[:-

def Stego():
print("--Welcome to $t3g0--") print("1:
Encode") print("2: Decode")

func = input()

if func == '1':
print("Enter Source Image Path")

src = input()
print("Enter Message to Hide") message = input()
print("Enter Destination Image Path") dest = input()
print("Encoding...") Encode(src, message,
dest)

elif func == '2':


print("Enter Source Image Path") src = input()
print("Decoding...") Decode(src)

else:
print("ERROR: Invalid option chosen") Stego()

Task 3b: Image header


The Lab1_Task 3b_challenge.jpg file contains some useful information. But
the file seems to be corrupted, help me fix it and find the Information!

Hint:
 Have you ever used Hex editors?
 Find the header information of the given image file format (example JPEG).
 Check the header info of given file and if info is wrong correct it and reopen.
 Online hex editor link: https://hexed.it/
 Replace starting hex digits with FF D8 FF E0
Task 4: Audio Steganography
The audio file Lab_1_Task4.wav file has some information in it. Can you find the information
hidden in the audio file?

Hint:
 Have you tried to view an audio file in Sonic Visualiser?
 Add spectrogram layer after opening the audio file in sonic visualiser.
How to create Audio Steganography?

 First create a BMP file with text.


 Open the bitmap file in CoagulaLight1666 application.
 Click on render image without blue/ noise.
 Save the file using save sound as option.
