Steganography and Media Analysis

Scope

Use this module only for authorized forensic investigations to detect hidden data in media files, extract metadata, and analyze carrier characteristics.

Workflow

1. Collect file metadata: format headers, EXIF/XMP tags, embedded thumbnails.
2. Perform statistical analysis: chi-square, RS analysis, sample pair detection on image carriers.
3. Inspect least-significant-bit planes for non-random patterns.
4. Check for appended or prepended data beyond format boundaries.
5. Analyze audio spectrograms and frequency domain for embedded signals.
6. Document findings with hash values and extraction methodology.

Safety Rules

• Do not execute embedded payloads or scripts found within media files.
• Do not distribute or share extracted hidden content without authorization.
• Do not modify original evidence files; work only on verified copies.
• Do not assume content legality; escalate suspicious findings immediately.

Output

Return evidence table with columns: filename, file hash, detection method, hidden data type, extraction offset, and confidence level.
