Camouflage - Video Steganography

The Camouflage project is a steganography tool, where user is able to encode and decode their secret message into a video. This tool can be used for securely communicating with each other without any other third party knowing what the information has been sent. The conversation can be camouflaged as a normal video sending between two users with an alternative motive of sending hidden text messages. This system can also be used for copyright claims of YouTube videos.

First clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/whyme-duh/video-steganography.git
