Overview

Resolves #1207. Analyzing audio spectrograms for hidden data is often needed during CTFs.

Dependencies

I tried to make it as standalone as possible - still, it includes two new dependencies:

  • wavefile - to parse a raw wave
  • dsp.js - for RFFT (Discrete Fourier Transform)

Both of these do not have further dependencies, and they can be useful in the future for adding more audio-related operations.
If it's not acceptable, please let me know.

Limitations

To not make it overly complicated I only implemented a rectangular window (in Audacity the default is Hanning) - more options in that regard could be useful, but for simply looking for some hidden text, I think it's capable enough.
Also, more color schemes could be added, or a package like colormap could be used instead.

Tests

Writing tests for it was quite tricky - there are currently no wave samples available for use in tests, and some imports didn't work correctly when I tried. I decided to wait for some feedback or leave it to someone who knows better how to do it.
