Abstract

Audio Stego is an open-source Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking project. Audio file steganography. Hides files or text inside audio files and retrieve them automatically. Audio file steganography. Hides text or files inside audio files and retrieve them automatically. It is built using C++. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

Audio file steganography. Hides text or files inside audio files and retrieve them automatically. It actually supports only .mp3 and .wav files as inputs, but you can hide whatever kind of file or text on them.

Build This project uses CMake to build. So download it before compiling.

Both will output a clone of the file with the hidden data as output.(file extension)

2. Objective

Audio file steganography. Hides files or text inside audio files and retrieve them automatically

This project demonstrates how C++ can be applied to a real-world Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking problem.
