Welcome to the Cryptic wiki!

If you are having some problem and this guide is not able to solve it, please raise an issue. I will look into it ASAP 🧐


Get started with the script on your terminal (not working, please use the web version instead)

Pre-requisites:

  • Python3 (latest version)
  • It will be good to have a basic understanding of Linux or you can head over to the web GUI version GUI guide

Steps to Install:

  1. https://github.com/0-harshit-0/Cryptic-Steganography.git
  2. cd Steganography/crypticpy
  3. pip install -r /path/to/requirements.txt or py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

If you don't see any error popping up on your CMD/Terminal, you have successfully completed the requirements and now let's move on to usage.

Steps to using the script:

  • For help type: py cryptic -h
  • To encode/hide a file inside another image file, type: cryptic -e file_name.any image_name.any and press enter

The hidden image file will be saved in the encoded folder (big files will take more time).

  • To decode/unhide an image file, type: cryptic -d image_name.any and press enter

The decoded file will be saved in the decoded folder (big files will take more time).


Get started with the web version

Terminal Theme 🖥️⌨️

To encode/hide a file inside another image file,
  • type: cryptic -e and press enter.
  • Select the file, you want to hide and then type: y and hit enter
  • Now select the image in which you would like to hide the file.
