Could you build this?
Partial The browser UI and basic LSB manipulation are easy, but compiling or porting Steghide's C++ graph-theoretic embedding algorithms, DCT coefficient manipulation for JPEG, and audio steganography into WebAssembly/JS is technically complex.
What it would actually take: A functioning implementation requires compiling the C++ Steghide library to WebAssembly via Emscripten or writing a custom bit-exact port in TypeScript. It needs low-level media parsing modules (JPEG DCT blocks, MP3 frame headers, WAV PCM) and cryptographic implementations matching libmcrypt and Rijndael. A solo engineer needs expertise in steganographic graph matching, audio/image codecs, and WebAssembly toolchains.
