It seems to show (compared to the study on False Positives) that a False-Negative is more likely than a False-Positive. One great thing about StegDetect is that it supports the ability to train the program on new, unknown algorithms as long as you have a clean set of images and a steg'ed set of images to 'train it' on.įor a savvy user, this sort of feature can help reduce the rate of False-Positives by improving the detection ability.Īnalysis of False-Negatives w/ StegDetect Nothing is perfect, and this is some research that was done on the reliability of StegDetect. It has built-in debugging support, Docker and Docker Compose support, embedded Git control, integrates major build automation tools such as Maven and Gradle. StegDetect is a well known tool for detecting a variety of steganographic algorithms. Steganography For The Computer Forensics ExaminerĪ good primer on steganography in relation to 'the real world'Īnalysis of False-Positives w/ StegDetect Many different methods and programs exist to try and suss out whether an image is steg'ed or not, but here's a couple links to research papers on the reliability of certain tools: there's no guarantee it's THE ONLY needle in there! In case you chose an image that is too small to hold your message you will be informed. Remember, the more text you want to hide, the larger the image has to be. Save the last image, it will contain your hidden message. And worst of all, even if you find a needle. To encode a message into an image, choose the image you want to use, enter your text and hit the Encode button. There are new methods of steganography being developed and theorized all the time, so detecting it is quite literally like looking for a needle in a haystack.
