Another way to hide information in a photo is to assign colors on the color pallet to ASCII codes. Since a minimum ASCII code is 7 bits of data, setting this as the least significant bits in a 24 bit pixel will make slight changes to the shade of the color, imperceptible to the eye, yet at the data level, can be directly converted. I use this method to hide copyright messages in my photos.
@leppeppel3 жыл бұрын
I enjoy steganography too, but once you're manually adjusting the colour values of individual pixels, it's like "why bother?" If you're just sending coded messages to your friends, no one else is trying to read them anyway. I file it under 'making the Mona Lisa out of toast.'

I remember doing sneaky things like this when I did my graphic design training in the 90's and used to leave loads of sneaky messages in images and documents that I worked on. At later dates, I'd get people to isolate certain colours which would reveal pentagrams around peoples head and the horns I drew on peoples heads. 😊😋 We'd also select our own palette of colours so that we all sent messages to each other on the same .BMP images with there being no compression on the .BMP format.

An alternative to combining two images and messing with the contrast is something I did for work once. I wrote a PHP program that took two images and did a pixel by pixel comparison. Any pixels that different were rendered as white on a new image that was otherwise black. It’s basically the same thing but you don’t get the problem of darker and lighter areas of your image being illegible. In this case I was embedding user IDs, IP addresses, and access times (for the purpose of tracking pirate leaks).

another thing you could do is hide information in the file of the image itself, in such a way that it is not at all visible no matter what aka, you can do a thing where when you open the image file with a text editor, such as notepad++, the coded message is at the bottom or something. if you do this you can also encode that message in any number of ways as your only limit is ascii text itself

This form of steganography is way too much work for practical daily use. If it can't be automated, it's not worth the effort for regular communications. Might be fine for escape rooms or challenges between friends, I guess. Otherwise, just stick to the earlier stega file embedder program, or use PGP (pretty good protection).

As for other messages, there's "go away bad guys", the article about grill cheese, all the pixel tweaking in the bottom left corner, the 7 pixel sequencing on right-hand side, acksmz (?) I'm honestly curious for the explanations and to know what I missed.
