My Projects 📝

👶 Babysploit - Penetration Testing Framework for Beginners

BabySploit is a penetration testing toolkit aimed at making it easy to learn how to use bigger, more complicated frameworks like Metasploit.

💻 winfetch - CLI System Information Tool for Windows Written in Golang

Allows you to display system information through your command line without needing to have any hacky bash fixes to run neofetch.

🦊 Foxify CLI - Firefox Theme Manager

As of Firefox 57 (the Quantum Update), Mozilla has enabled custom user customization using userChrome.css. With Foxify you have the ability to manage your themes for Firefox and apply them dynamically!

🧠 EasyModels - AI Dataset and Model Indexer

EasyModels is an easy way to find and view deep learning projects and pre-trained models.

🖼️ Pixcryption - Cryptographically secure image ciphering algorithm

Pixcryption's goal is to offer a new form of steganography/encryption through imagery. It uses a random seeded UUID to generate a user_key which matches RGB perfect values to match to unicode characters. Uses AES OCB encryption.

pixcryption's Issues

README lists incorrect Python version requirement

The project README incorrectly lists 3.6 as the minimum required version of Python for the project. Line 11 in pyproject.toml declares the minimum version to be 3.7 or above.

Implement Normal Image Steganography for Images

A reddit user commented on some strategies to embed the encrypted images inside a provided input image and produce and image that looks similar but embedded with the encrypted message.

This would make this more pheasable for usage in real world applications for embeddable encryption in images.

Check here for the Reddit link. Here is a quote:

The usual way to hide messages in images is to let the user provide a real image to hide the message in.

For each RGB pixel you can take the R, G and B values individually, e.g. say R is 251. The idea is that the difference between 251, 250 or 252 is basically imperceptible in a photo. You can exploit that to hide your message in the bottom 2 (or 1 or 3) bits of each colour value in each pixel. Using 2 bits per colour you get 6 bits per pixel.

The end result is an image that looks visually identical but contains your message hidden in it.

pyproject.toml is invalid according to Poetry

Poetry reports pyproject.toml as invalid and refuses to install the project:

$ poetry --version
Poetry version 1.0.5
$ poetry install

[RuntimeError]
The Poetry configuration is invalid:
  - 'description' is a required property

Per the emitted error, the missing property should be added to pyproject.toml.

Implement AES encryption on strings passed into the cipher.

In order to make this more cryptographically secure we should implement some sort of AES standard into the strings that are encrypted and add that to the encryption and decryption functions respectively.

Refactor Code Base for Better Structure

Everything is currently in pixcryption.core.lib but I feel some functions might be better in a helper namespace to help readability of the code. This is a good first issue if you'd like to refactor/clean up the code base!

pycryptodome is missing from poetry.lock
