Description
Aurora is an open-source Python tool that transforms any binary file into a unique high-density RGB image. Before generating the final pixels, the tool uses a custom cryptographic pipeline to obfuscate and secure the raw data. Perfect for steganography, data obfuscation, or exploring new visual storage formats. Feel free to audit the code on GitHub!

Could you build this?
Yes The tool reads raw binary bytes, applies standard cryptography (e.g., AES/Fernet from PyCryptodome), and packs the encrypted bytes into RGB pixel arrays saved via PIL/Pillow.
