The web shows many steganographic tools to hide the secret message in image and audio files.

These tools are:

  • Xiao steganography
  • Trojan
  • OpenPuff
  • Text Hide
  • LSB steganography
  • QuickStego, etc.

One of the steganography tool “LSB steganography” is downloaded for encryption. The following screenshot shows the way of this cryptosystem.

Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
