Steganography in source code
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
usage: stego.py [-h] [--input INPUT] [--output OUTPUT] [--stdin] [--stdout] [--hide] [--showSource] [--showFound]
|
|
[--lang LANG] [--message MESSAGE] [--comment COMMENT]
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
--input INPUT Input file
|
|
--output OUTPUT Output file
|
|
--stdin Read from stdin
|
|
--stdout Output to stdout
|
|
--hide Hide Mode
|
|
--showSource Show clean source
|
|
--showFound Show Matches
|
|
--lang LANG Programming Language
|
|
--message MESSAGE Hidden message
|
|
--comment COMMENT Comment
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This tools encodes secret messages in a comment, which is appended at the start of the output
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Encoding:
|
|
|
|
The message is first commuted from unicode to binary and then to a sequence of these two invisible unicode characters:
|
|
* `U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK` for binary digit `1`
|
|
* `U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK` fot binary digit `0`
|
|
|
|
The last char in the sequence is always ignored in decoding and is `U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK` (to restore the correct reading order that the previous char would impart)
|
|
A comment is created, accounting for the programming language and placed at the top of the output.
|
|
The comment contains the message payload followed optionally by a text comment
|
|
|
|
## Decoding
|
|
|
|
Every sequence of the two designated chars is stored and decoded.
|
|
|
|
if `showSource` is enabled, then the source output contains the original message in the comments where it appears
|
|
if `showFound` is enabled, the output contains all the decoded instances
|
|
|
|
|
