Abstract
Steganography means hiding a hidden payload within an apparently-innocent cover, usually an item of digital media. This project is to implement a transparent proxy which uses something like a webcam video stream to hide steganographic packets. A local process should receive communication on a local socket and merge it with the webcam data stream, a process which can be reversed at the receiver.
Prerequisites:
It is necessary to understand something of video formats, for example experience with working on the H.264/5 codec, in order to place the payload in a webcam stream. Note that it is NOT possible to learn a video codec within the time available.
