How to use our project:

Install (via pip) the libraries reedsolo (to handle the Reed-Solomon codes and GF(256) arithmetic) and qrcodegen (used only for writing out the adversarial QR codes). Then follow this process:

• Generate/find the QR code you want to modify, noting the version, mask bits, and data. At this time, only the 'L' level of redundancy is supported.
• Consult ISO/IEC 18004:2015(E), Table 7 for the number of binary and error correction symbols for the given version.
• Come up with a strategy to generate adversarial URLs (random, sequential, etc.)
• Follow the example in util.py to rapidly encode, optimize, and compute the Hamming distance between your adversarial QR and the target QR.
• Repeat until satisfied!
