Description
What is Steganography?Imagine you want to send a secret message. You will encode your message and send it. By doing this, you still risk attracting the attention of those who will see it pass. You sent a secret message, but you didn't do it secretly!
To send it discreetly, you have to hide your message inside another message, of an innocuous aspect this one. It's Steganography!
What is it for?
You can :
• hide sensitive data away from prying eyes or viruses.
• hide messages and forward them to anyone via email without any suspicion.
• send secret messages in highly monitored or hostile environments.
• embed images with hidden messages on web pages or post them on certain social networks.
• etc …
How does it work?
Generally steganography algorithms slightly modify the pixels of an image in such a way that the human eye does not see any difference (modification of the LSB, manipulation of the DCTs...). However, for a computer, this difference compared to the original image, is visible.
This application uses GIF images because they have a property that allows to produce a new image with pixels strictly identical to the original and a completely standard structure. Nothing is added, no pixels are modified!
What messages can be camouflaged?
In addition to a text message, you can embed any file.
The size of the messages does not depend on the dimensions of the image, but only on the number of colors used and the number of animations in the image. Thus, an animated GIF image, even of a few pixels, with 5 images in 256 colors can store a message of about one kilobyte (or more if the message can be compressed)!
Data is compressed (DEFLATE mode) to increase storage capacity. You can also limit yourself to 64 characters in the message to increase its size by 33%.
If the message is too big, the application can extend or add color tables automatically to increase the storage capacity (the image nevertheless remains in accordance with the GIF standard). Note however that if it is not necessary to add palettes, the size of the file created is practically unchanged, which makes the image all the less suspicious!
What security for the message?
For added security, messages are encrypted with 256-bit AES (GCM mode) with a cryptographic key generated by a PBKDF2 algorithm (16,000 iterations) from a password.
Can we share these images?
The images produced being completely 'normal', you can send them by any means without the message being altered, provided of course that the file format is not modified (for example in mp4 video as with WhatsApp). On the other hand, the message will generally be destroyed if the image is edited.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
