Seed Protect

Seed Protect is a collection of simple Windows batch scripts that utilize Steghide to securely hide and extract sensitive data (e.g., seed phrases, passwords) within JPG image files. This allows for an additional layer of obfuscation and security when storing or sharing sensitive text data.

Features

  • ofero-encrypt.bat:
    Embed a .txt file containing sensitive data into a .jpg image using Steghide.
  • ofero-decrypt.bat:
    Extract the hidden .txt file from a .jpg image.

Both scripts provide a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, requiring no command-line experience.

Requirements

  1. Steghide
    Ensure steghide is installed and included in the steghide folder inside the repository.
    Download Steghide

  2. Windows OS
    The batch files are designed to run on Windows.

How to Use

1. Encryption - Hide a .txt file inside a .jpg image

  1. Place ofero-encrypt.bat in the same directory as the Steghide executable.
  2. Drag and drop both:
    • A .txt file containing sensitive data, and
    • A .jpg file to hide the text in.
  3. Follow the on-screen prompts.
  4. The .txt file will be securely embedded into the .jpg image and deleted after successful encryption.

Example:
Drag seed.txt and cover.jpg onto ofero-encrypt.bat.
This will embed seed.txt into cover.jpg.

2. Decryption - Extract hidden text from a .jpg image

  1. Place ofero-decrypt.bat in the same directory as the Steghide executable.
  2. Drag and drop a .jpg file containing hidden data onto the batch script.
  3. A file named decrypt.txt will be extracted into the same directory.

Example:
Drag cover.jpg onto ofero-decrypt.bat.
This will extract decrypt.txt.

Security Notes

Steghide will prompt for a password during encryption and extraction. Use a strong password to prevent unauthorized access. The .txt file is deleted automatically after successful encryption to prevent duplication of sensitive data. Ensure you back up the password securely, as it is required for decryption.
