A C++ command-line tool that encrypts files with password-protected AES-256-CBC and hides them inside images using Least-Significant-Bit pixel encoding. It supports encoding and decoding embeds with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA-256 key derivation and CRC32 integrity checks.

Use cases

• hide a file inside an image
• encrypt and embed a zip into a png
• extract hidden files from steganographic images
• password-protect files hidden in pictures
• send secret files disguised as photos
• lsb steganography from the command line

When to choose

• you need to covertly embed files into images with strong encryption
• you want a simple cross-platform CLI for LSB steganography
• you prefer a lightweight native C++ tool without heavy dependencies

When to avoid

• you need steganalysis resistance against advanced detection
• you want to hide data in audio or video files
• you need a GUI or batch processing of many images
