performing-steganography-detection
Detects and extracts hidden data embedded in images, audio, and other media files using steganalysis tools such as StegDetect, zsteg, stegsolve, binwalk, steghide, and OpenStego to uncover covert communication channels. Use when investigating suspected data hiding or exfiltration via media files, espionage/insider-threat cases, or anomalies in media file properties found during standard file analysis.

# Performing Steganography Detection
## When to Use
- When suspecting covert data hiding in images, audio, or video files
- During investigations involving suspected data exfiltration via media files
- For analyzing files in espionage or insider threat investigations
- When standard file analysis reveals anomalies in media file properties
- For detecting communication channels using steganographic techniques
## Prerequisites
- StegDetect, zsteg, stegsolve, binwalk for analysis
- steghide, OpenStego for extraction attempts
- ExifTool for metadata analysis
- Python with Pillow, numpy for custom analysis
