Steganography is a science that studies the ways of hidden transmission of information by hiding the very fact of transmission. Science is absolutely not new in its idea, but with the invention of digital ways of implementing algorithms used in it, its development has reached an essentially new level. Three different samples of malicious programs in network attacks containing tools for intellectual analysis of crypto-currency, hidden in forged image files were identified in 2017.

Lydecker Black shared info about Steg Brute Force Tool “Steghide – Brute Force Attack to Find Hide Information and Password in a file”. The tool can recover passwords of StegHide and help you find hidden data.

It’s about ‘steganography’. Steganography literally means “covered writing”. Steganography is an ancient art of covering messages.

If the hidden data is detected by a third party the steganography technique fails.

He is an interesting presentation by Catrin Burrows & Pooneh Bagheri Zadeh from De Montfort University on steganography in the context of mobile forensic investigations.
