Chaya protects your privacy through steganography, cryptography and compression. It effectively encrypts your payloads using AES-256-GCM cryptography, embeds them using LSB-LPS steganography technique into images and compresses them using FLIF to evade detection by performing lossless compression.
Chaya is for your privacy. Chaya is backed by research (I will publish public version whitepaper on xerohack.com), and has proven to be by far the most effective image steganography tool as compared to other FOSS image steganography tools.
WHY CHAYA IS BETTER THAN THE REST?
- 0% detection rate using most of the publically available anti-steg tools like stegexpose and many more
- 100% data retention with almost the same capacity of standard LSB technique with LBS-LPS
- Transparent cryptography that gets as good as python has to offer
There is no way this can be broken using a standard supercomputer unless there are exploits in python libs and python itself.. LSB-LPS will take exponetially large time to brute-force with larger graph images because you will have to attack every X,Y coordinates combo without any error. Making an ML to do so is also quite useless and can be only used for Natural language processing for example: which message is readable to find the coordinates. AFTER THAT, you have to break the encryption. MOREOVER, NLP ML cannot find the coordinates because the bruteforce results will be ciphertext anyway. If for some reason the attacker knows the coordinates to start the de-steg process, they will have to break AES-GCM-256. GCM is better because it offers integrity along with confidentiality, which is why it's the better AES mode).

Run the following commands in terminal:
sudo apt install python3-pip && sudo apt install git && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/xerohackcom/Chaya.git && cd ChayaUbuntu Based Distros
python3 installer.py --ubuntuDebian Based Distros
python3 installer.py --debianpython3 chaya.py --help- First add few images (png format) to /autoexp/image_raw/
- Remove the txt file from all autoexp sub-folders to avoid errors!
- Run the following command
python3 chaya.py -enc- Enc + Steg images -> /autoexp/image_steg/
- Enc + Steg + Comp images -> /autoexp/image_steg_comp/
- Cipher data -> /appdata/cipher_data.json
- Analysis data -> /appdata/analysis_results_enc.json
- Issue with numpy import (solution under issues)
- Known bug with image-quality library (not fixed)
The plan is to build this into a modular framework where users can also add their custom scripts for encryption and steganography part. Support for multiple compression algorithms is being added. During the experiments, FLIF was supported, but now JpegXL (JXL) is the new best lossless raster based compression. Support for payload execution and other interesting stuff underway. Can be done combining commands, but not inbuilt. Video steganography using ffmpeg is being tested.
