Myself and Mez recently finished a script called Echobender that automatically databends images.

To use it you’ll need:

• A computer with Linux installed. I don’t have a Windows or Mac PC so I can’t test it on those
• Sox. On Ubuntu you can install it via sudo apt-get install sox
• Convert, which is part of ImageMagick. On Ubuntu you can install it via sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Once you have those installed just execute ./echobender.sh from the terminal and then drop a .jpg or .bmp file into it. The output will be in a folder called “echo”.

If you look closely at the script you can see a way to convert any data into an image! I’ll leave that one up to you… Here’s the source code for all those interested:

Thanks to Imbecil‘s MPegFucker script for much of the inspiration.
