Paddinganograph
This Tinyscript-based tool allows to unhide data hidden in base32/base64 strings. It can take a PNG or JPG in input to retrieve an EXIF value as the input data.
This can be installed using:
$ pip install tinyscript
$ wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dhondta/90a07d9d106775b0cd29bb51ffe15954/raw/paddinganograph.py && chmod +x paddinganograph.py && sudo mv paddinganograph.py /usr/bin/paddinganograph
$ paddinganograph -e base64 -f Comment -s . < test.jpg
[...]
$ paddinganograph -e base64 -f Comment -s . < test.jpg | paddinganograph -e base32
[...]
This tool is especially useful in the use cases hereafter.
Retrieve hidden data from an image using Base32/64 padding

" field, split its value with the separator ".
" and extract hidden data:
$ paddinganograph -s "." -f "Comment" < image.jpg

Hi @neoxeo !
Fixed. Thank you very much for mentioning this.
Please note however that the error occurs because there is no EXIF field Comment (as set by default ; you can choose the field name with the
-f
/--exif-field
option) in your target image. A priori, this is a normal behavior. Anyway, I caught the exception and added a clean logged error when it occurs.
