Released 1993

Black Wolf's Picture Encoder (Stegodos) is a DOS steganography program that works with 256-color 320x200 images only. It can hide about 8k per image.

The way it works is rather convoluted and hardware dependent:

  • capture a screenshot (320x200x256) to a .scr file (intercepts PRINTSCREEN key while in graphics mode 13h)
  • inject the hidden data into the .scr file
  • redisplay the .scr screenshot
  • use a third-party screen-capture program (not included) to take a screenshot and save it in a graphics file like a GIF

Similarly, to extract the message

  • display graphics file
  • capture a screenshot to a .scr file
  • decode the message in the .scr file
