Encrypt .ppm file with AES-ECB to show ECB will reveal patterns

# Convert your image to .ppm with Gimp or Photoshop
#
# Usage: ./ecb_img <image file as ppm> <password>

# extract header and body
head -n 4 $1 > $1.header.txt
tail -n +5 $1 > $1.body.bin

# encrypt with ecb and given password
openssl enc -aes-128-ecb -nosalt -pass pass:"$2" -in  $1.body.bin -out $1.body.ecb.bin

# reassemble image
cat $1.header.txt $1.body.ecb.bin > $1.ecb.ppm

# Clean up temp files
rm $1.header.txt
rm $1.body.bin
rm $1.body.ecb.bin

echo "encrypted image to $1.ecb.ppm"

head -n 4 $1 > $1.header.txt
tail -n +5 $1 > $1.body.bin

Maybe it should be something like this:

head -n 3 $1 > $1.header.txt
tail -n +4 $1 > $1.body.bin
