binary_qrcode_stegano

Uses QR codes to steganograph binary data in a video.

⚠️ This project is more a proof of concept than a program who can be really use to hide a lot of data in a video.

Installation

For Debian likes distributions you have to install the package python3-opencv to use the videos manipulation library. And install the packages libzbar0 and libzbar-dev for decoding the DR codes. Then you have to install the requirements with the command: $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Using the scripts
