StegoVeritas is a command-line steganography analysis tool. It applies a range of automated checks to GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and BMP images, and can attempt to analyse other file types.
The software can inspect metadata, generate image transformations, investigate least-significant-bit encoding, analyse colour maps, extract embedded content and identify data appended to a file.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides default analysis routines for common image formats.
- Extracts and displays EXIF, XMP and other metadata.
- Generates multiple image transformations to help expose concealed content.
- Brute-forces least-significant-bit steganography.
- Extracts selected LSB data from red, green, blue and alpha channels.
- Analyses image colour maps and user-specified colour-map ranges.
- Splits animated GIF files into individual frames.
- Checks files for trailing data.
- Attempts to identify and extract StegHide content.
- Carves embedded files and data from the supplied file.
- Supports passwords and wordlists for applicable extraction operations.
- Available through pip, Docker and the BlackArch repositories.
