embedme

A command-line tool for embedding secret messages in PNG files. This project is implemented following the PNGme Book tutorial as a learning exercise in Rust programming.

About

This implementation:

  • Follows the PNG file format specification
  • Handles chunk-level operations (reading, writing, and CRC validation)
  • Provides a command-line interface for encoding/decoding hidden messages
  • Demonstrates Rust concepts like error handling, type conversions, and safe memory management

Usage

# Hide a message
embedme encode <PNG_FILE> <CHUNK_TYPE> <MESSAGE>

# Find a hidden message
embedme decode <PNG_FILE> <CHUNK_TYPE>

# Remove a hidden message
embedme remove <PNG_FILE> <CHUNK_TYPE>

# List all chunks
embedme print <PNG_FILE>

Development

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# Run tests
cargo test
