I present a selection of seven Windows utilities for steganography.
1. Anubis is a classic, the first and, unfortunately, the last version was written in 2014 in Java, so it requires the installation of a JRE, as well as (in the case of Windows 10) a DOS virtual machine — NTVDM. It can only hide text files.
2. DeEgger Embedder is a small utility that already has a larger set of functions, but its use requires installation .NET Framework 3.5. In addition to BMP, the program supports PNG, JPG, AVI video files and MP3 music files as containers.
3. DeepSound — the latest version of this program was released in November 2015. Unlike the others, it hides data inside audio files. DeepSound can use WAV (uncompressed only, PCM), as well as MP3, CDA, WMA, APE, and FLAC as containers. DeepSound can embed files of any type and automatically calculates the available space for them depending on the container size and audio quality settings.
4. Hallucinate-this compact (only 34 KB) utility is written in Java and does not require installation. As a container, it supports BMP and PNG formats, which makes it much more convenient than Anubis.
5. JHide is another compact utility that, unlike Hallucinate, in addition to BMP and PNG, supports TIFF, and also allows you to use password protection.
6. OpenPuff-the latest version (4.00) supports not only hiding some files inside others, but also working with steg tags of any format. You can even allocate several processor cores to it if you have a large amount of work to do. Unlike other utilities that support password protection of a hidden message, OpenPuff can use a cryptographically strong pseudorandom number generator for encryption.
7. OpenStego — the latest version of OpenStego (0.61) was released in 2014. The program works on Windows and Linux. It supports BMP, PNG, JPG, GIF and WBMP. The filled container is always saved in PNG format.
8. Cloakify is a large and easily extensible program that uses Cloakify Toolset scripts. Its peculiarity is that before masking the load, it is encoded in Base64.
9. Steghide is a console utility written in C++. Hides information in standard JPEG, BMP, WAV, and AU files. The program's arsenal is full of ciphers — even Blowfish, which I haven't noticed in others.
10. Spectrology-allows you to turn images into audio tracks with "charged" spectrograms, from which you can then get pictures.
11. ImageSpyer G2-hides secret files only in images and even allows you to set a password to encrypt data before embedding. The program supports about 30 encryption algorithms for embedded information and 25 hash functions for signing to make sure that the file embedded in the image is not broken during transmission. Old program without an official website. Written by Alexander Myasnikov.
12. RedJPEG-another stegosaurus created by Alexander Myasnikov. This time-with its own algorithm for embedding images in images, LZMA compression and design for nostalgic for the USSR.
13. OpenStego-the software is implemented in Java, has support for AES encryption and is extremely popular among those who want to get acquainted with steganography. Supports plugins so that you can implement some kind of steganographic algorithm yourself. There are versions for both Windows and Linux.
14. SilentEye-cross-platform software with a simple interface. It has many plugins and a nice GUI. Uses state-of-the-art steganography and masking algorithms.
15. ImageJS-allows you to create images that simultaneously represent real JS scripts. This is necessary to simplify the implementation of more dangerous XSS attacks, in which sometimes you need to load the script from the attacked domain.
