improvements:

• Fixed BMP cracking for files with a large palette ( #5 ).
• Added a --continue flag to search for multiple hidden files ( #3 ).
• Added an --accessible flag to make the CLI more screen reader friendly
• Made the CLI more consistent, added colors.
• --crack and --seed now throw proper exit codes for easier scripting.
• Lower performance overhead for metrics.
• fixed compiler flags for default build.

Stegseek v0.5

Changes

• Better memory management. Large (15GB) wordlists are now feasible
• Scales better with a large amount of threads (16+).
• Added some default guesses (empty password, filename as password, .. ) that will likely not be on any wordlist
• Fixed high false positive rate in seed cracking mode
• Fixed -t option missing in seed cracking mode
• Changed build process to cmake

Installation:

sudo apt install ./stegseek_0.5-1.deb

Minor release (bugfix)

This release fixes an issue that caused cracking to fail under rare circumstances.

Passwordless cracking, better cli, and more

Passwordless cracking

This version adds a new way of cracking steghide or detecting steghide files:

stegseek --seed [suspected_stego_file.jpg]

If the file was encoded by steghide, this command will dump the metadata (size / encrypt modes)

CLI now supports positional arguments

This release adds positional arguments so you don't have to remember the arcane argument flags.

stegseek --crack -sf steg.jpg -wl wordlist.txt [-xf output.txt]

-->

stegseek steg.jpg wordlist.txt [output.txt]

Performance

Wordlist cracking received a 2x performance boost 😄

Now installs on Debian, Kali, and more

This release contains a few minor tweaks:

• The wordlist is now split over the threads, rather than reading from a single list.
• The .deb file can now be installed on both Ubuntu and Debian, Kali, ...
• The -xf argument now also works for --crack

Stegseek got even faster

This release contains a few optimizations that I missed in my first pass. It is roughly 9 times faster than v0.1.
The release also adds a fix for #1 .

The included .deb package can be installed on Ubuntu 20.04.
To install the package, download it and execute the following command:

This is the very first release of Stegseek. It includes a .deb package that can be installed on Ubuntu 20.04.
