Anyhide - Hide Anything in Anything

Hide anything inside anything. Anyhide is an advanced steganography and encryption tool that conceals any data (text, files, binaries) within any carrier file(s) using hybrid encryption with forward secrecy and plausible deniability.

Why Anyhide?

Traditional Steganography	Anyhide
Modifies the carrier file	Never touches the carrier
Transmits the modified file	Transmits only a short code
Carrier can be analyzed	Carrier stays untouched
Hide text in images	Hide anything in anything

How It Works

Both parties share a file (ANY file). The sender hides data by finding byte patterns in the carrier. Only an encrypted code is transmitted - the carrier is never sent.

Key Features

Any carrier: text, images, audio, video, PDFs, executables, archives
Any payload: text messages, binary files, documents, archives
Dual-layer encryption: Symmetric (ChaCha20) + Asymmetric (X25519)
Forward secrecy ratchet: Key rotation per message
P2P Chat over Tor: Real-time encrypted chat via Tor hidden services
Duress password: Two messages, two passphrases - reveal the decoy under coercion
Multi-carrier encoding: Multiple files as carrier, order is an additional secret
Message signing: Ed25519 signatures for sender authentication
Code splitting: Split codes for multi-channel delivery
QR code support: Share codes via QR
Plausible deniability: Wrong passphrase returns garbage, not an error
Never fails: Decoder always returns something - prevents brute-force detection

Installation

From crates.io:

cargo install anyhide

Pre-built binary: Download from GitHub Releases (Linux, macOS, Windows)

From source:

git clone https://github.com/matutetandil/anyhide.git && cd anyhide && cargo build --release

Quick Start

# Generate keys
anyhide keygen -o mykeys

# Encode a message
anyhide encode -c carrier.txt -m "secret" -p "pass123" --their-key recipient.pub

# Decode a message
anyhide decode --code "AwNhYm..." -c carrier.txt -p "pass123" --my-key recipient.key
