Stegnography Tool

Stegnography Tool is a small software application developed specifically for helping you conceal and encrypt private text messages within custom images. The processed photos look and act the same as the original ones so it won’t raise any suspicions to other users. The tool can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

Portable app

This is a portable program. You can store it on USB flash drives or other portable devices to have it with you all the time. In addition, you may run it without administrative privileges.Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no setup included in the process. It does not write entries to your Windows registry and leave other configuration files on the target PC. It actually saves the settings data on the storage device. Getting rid of it implies a simple deletion task of the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

Interacting with the GUI

Stegnography Tool reveals an outdated layout that does not impress much in the visual department. It does not offer support for a help manual so you need to experiment a little bit the with configuration settings in order to understand how it works.Images can be imported in the working environment using the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented). The app works only with 24-bit bitmap files. You can also preview both the original and processed photo directly in the main window.

Encryption/decryption options

Stegnography Tool gives you the possibility to manually type in the text message that you want to hide or paste the information from the clipboard. Plus, you can set up an encryption key.In order to decrypt the text messages successfully, you need to import the target picture and specify the correct password. Aside from encryption/decryption capabilities, the program is able to calculate the MD5 hash for a user-defined file and allows you to copy the MD5 hash value to the clipboard.

Final observations

To sum things up, Stegnography Tool comes packed with several handy features for helping you hide sensitive information inside photos. However, it needs GUI improvements in order to make the entire process more intuitive.
