Images carrying an encrypted data payload Buried under the noise floor - Steganographic Image Tool - Don's Image one


I found a really Cool Article on a Project to put Encrypted Messages in PNG Images. The Author Ian, has even built a PHP Web Page to do the work for you. You can just upload your image and message and the Site will Encrypt your Message into your Image for you. Here's some info from the site...

Bury it under the noise floor (Steganography)

2013-03-22 01:59 by Ian

Here is discussed a PHP program to hide encrypted messages and files inside of images without significantly changing the way the image looks. This is meant to be an instructional write-up to touch on some common ideas and mechanisms in cryptography.

Notable features:

  • AES-256 encrypted with optional BZ2 compression.
  • Multi-round password hashing to derive key material from passwords.
  • No predictable patterns to search for. Offset is derived from the password, and the stride between pixels is arhythmic, with a seed value derived from the password.
  • Each color is treated as a discrete channel, with messages able to span channels. This allows up to three independent messages to be overlaid on the same carrier, or one message can occupy multiple channels.
  • Option for automatic re-scaling of the carrier image to minimize waste.
  • All relevant parameters are derived from the key, or stored as discrete bits, allowing for simple decoding. Just supply a carrier image and a correct password.
  • MD5 integrity verification.
  • File storage and retrieval
  • Built-in trivial logging faculty.

Potential Uses:

  • Hiding data and messages (bitcoins / password lists / etc).
  • Watermarking intellectual property
  • Delivery of executable payloads (think: javascript/PHP + eval())

Some constraints:

  • The modulated carrier must remain as it was output. If it is scaled, re-sampled, or compressed, the data it contains will be lost forever.
  • The output format must be a lossless format (PNG, BMP, etc). Compression may be used, but only if that compression is lossless. The same holds true for conversion between lossless formats.
  • Animated GIF doesn't work.

Here are some examples of images that are well-suited for hiding data in this manner...

This image is good because it was taken with a crappy cellphone camera, and has lots of noise.

This image is good because it was converted from a lossy format and is suffering from some bad artifacts. However, it should be noted that this particular brand of noise has a certain character that can be distinguished from the flat, even noise that the program will introduce. But it would take very close scrutiny to notice.

These images are ill-suited for hiding data...

This image is bad because it was made from scratch in an image editor, and has no noise, and few colors.

This image is bad because it has large fields of pure colors.

My Message starts with "You have found the message in, The Face of Don. E-mail me and let me know Don@BishopCo.com".

I actually just uploaded my HTML file with the info Below...

The Site rebuilt my Image with my message in it and it showed up on the Page. Then I saved the new Image to my Hard Drive, by right clicking and doing "Save As". Then, I went back to http://joshianlindsay.com/stegimage/form.php and uploaded my New Image with the Encrypted message and it worked!:) This time, I entered my Encryption key "buddybubba2013" and then checked these two boxes. "Expose affected pixels?" and "Show class log?". I didn't enter anything in the "Message (via either file or direct entry)" Box, this time. And I got my Message Reveled on the Web Page. That's pretty cool! I like that:) I use to play around with Encrypted E-Mail Message Programs and send Encrypted E-Mails to my Friends, back in the Win98n Days. But, they grew tired of downloading and installing Apps, just to read my messages. So, that didn't last long;) I have checked out a few of the Encryption Apps of different kinds in Linux over the years too. But, never really tried them out by sending anything to anyone. Putting hidden code in images is not new. But, this little Web Page, that does the work for you. Makes is quick and easy to send Encrypted Messages, and in Images to your friends. Don't try sending anything Nasty. Like Malicious Code! That will just bring Down Big Brother on You!:O And that would be no fun. No fun At All...
