Shade LSB

Shade is an acronym which stands for Steganographically Hide and Analyze Data Entries. Shade LSB project is a versatile and feature-rich program designed to analyze and manipulate LSB's (least significant bits) of files, attempting to either hide or pluck out data.

Shade LSB is a command line tool that allows you analyze data entries.

LSB manipulation is a form of steganography, the art or science of making the existence of information undetectable by normal means. This is achieved by writing the contents of a confidential file to the LSBs of another harmless and inconspicuous host file.

Here are some key features of "Shade LSB":

￭ perform any payload file type. ￭ optionally perform on these known file types: ￭ jpeg/jfif - Joint Photographic Experts Group File Interchange Format ￭ mpeg - Moving Pictures Experts Group format ￭ mp3 - mpeg layer 3 format ￭ wav - windows wave file format ￭ bmp - windows bitmap format (8 bit) ￭ bmp - windows bitmap format (24 bit) ￭ png - portable network graphics format ￭ gif - graphics interchange format ￭ store/acknowledge payload file name in payload data. ￭ perform multiple payload files at once. ￭ verify integrity of payload data against original payload file. ￭ perform payload backwards. ￭ input from standard input (eg, perform on piped input) ￭ output processed data to standard output or to a file. ￭ perform payload between/before/after specified phrase(s) located in host data.n"); ￭ use 1-8 bits per byte of host data. ￭ skip bytes at head of host data. ￭ skip bytes at tail of host data. ￭ skip X host bytes after performing each one. ￭ limit performing of payload to a specific number of bytes. ￭ Xor-crypt payload against custom repeating passphrase. ￭ Xor-crypt payload against custom repeating bit-sequence. ￭ apply arbitrary operations sequencially on each byte of payload file: ￭ invert bits. (eg, invert 3,4, 6, and 8: -i 3468) ￭ reverse bits. (eg, reverse 3 through 7: -R 37) ￭ transpose bits. (eg, swap bits 3 with 4 and 6 with 8: -t 3468) ￭ Xor-crypt against custom 8-bit-sequence.
