PictureCrypt
An image-steganography project
Hi!
Today we publish our new version v1.4.0 of our project PictureCrypt 😃
Download
You can get it for Windows, download PictureCrypt-setup.exe, however usually windows marks it as dangerous, but I can assure you, that it is safe. If you don't believe me, you can build it from source or download release zip file. There is a binary for linux, but if no Qt is installed it maybe won't work.
What's new?
Advanced mode of cryption
The main new feature is new mode - advanced mode.
Features
- Unlike the previously only mode (now normal mode) it uses keyphrase not only for data encryption, but for pixel assignment as well, what means that the encryption is not on the data level as before, but on the pixels level.
- This mode also generates extra noise for the data, so any hackers will not be able to tell if pixel contains real data or is it just nonsense.
- Verifying and decrypting the image now features time-consuming puzzle, so bruteforcing takes much longer.
However, because of these "innovations" the process is now much slower and can take up to a minute on a slow machine.
Translations
Now PictureCrypt is available in multiple languages, thanks to Qt Linguist Platform. Currently we have: English, Russian and German. If your system language is one of them, you will get localised interface. If not you will have default English variant.
Home page
Now PictureCrypt has a home page, which is generated on Travis CI and deployed using GitHub Pages. Docs have moved to https://picturecrypt.alexkovrigin.me/docs
Appveyor
From now on, we use Appveyor CI for builds on Windows, with it we make exe files and store them there.
