🖼️ Image Steganography Example
from src.core.image_stego import ImageSteganography
# Initialize steganography engine
stego = ImageSteganography()
# Hide message in image
success = stego.embed(
cover_path="cover.png",
message="Secret message",
output_path="stego.png",
password="mypassword"
)
# Extract hidden message
message = stego.extract_text("stego.png", password="mypassword")
print(f"Hidden message: {message}")📝 Text Steganography Example
from src.core.text_stego import TextSteganography
# Initialize text steganography
stego = TextSteganography()
# Hide message using Unicode method
stego_text = stego.embed_unicode(
cover_text="Normal looking text",
secret_message="Hidden data",
password="secret123"
)
# Extract hidden message
hidden = stego.extract_unicode(stego_text, password="secret123")
print(f"Extracted: {hidden}")📄 File Steganography Example
from src.core.file_stego import FileSteganography
# Initialize file steganography
stego = FileSteganography()
# Hide data in PDF
success = stego.embed(
cover_path="document.pdf",
payload="Confidential data",
output_path="stego_doc.pdf",
password="topsecret"
)
# Extract hidden data
data = stego.extract_text("stego_doc.pdf", password="topsecret")
print(f"Hidden data: {data}")
# Run all tests
python -m pytest tests/ -v
# Run specific test categories
python tests/test_basic.py # Basic functionality
python tests/test_functionality.py # Advanced features
# Run with coverage
