Backbone Announces Partnership with ADF Solutions, Inc.
Steganography SearchPak for Triage Tools Now Available
PRESS RELEASE
February 1, 2008
FAIRMONT, WV - Backbone Security, the industry leader in advanced digital steganalysis
tools, is pleased to announce their partnership with ADF Solutions to provide a
steganography SearchPak® for use with ADF's revolutionary digital forensic triage
tools. These tools are currently deployed at law enforcement agencies, government
organizations, and commercial corporations worldwide.
ADF created the steganography SearchPak® from hash values extracted from the
Steganography Application Fingerprint Database (SAFDB) created and maintained
in Backbone's Steganography Analysis and Research Center (SARC). SAFDB is the world's
largest commercially available hash set exclusive to steganography applications.
Digital forensic examiners around the world are using hash values from SAFDB to
detect the presence of steganography applications on seized media.
First responders and lab examiners can use the SearchPak® with Triage-ID™ and Triage-Lab™
to quickly detect the file artifacts of 675 steganography applications.
Detecting the presence of steganography applications is a strong indication the
application may have been used to conceal digital evidence by hiding the evidence
in other files that may still exist on the media. When steganography is detected,
users have the option of contacting Backbone for further assistance with finding
and extracting the hidden evidence using advanced steganalysis tools developed in
the SARC.
Triage-ID™ is a field tool for first responders to perform automated on-site analysis
of suspect computers, with a bootable CD-ROM & USB drive. Triage-Lab™ is a Windows
based tool that performs automated analysis of drive images, network drives, stand
alone suspect computers, DVD's, CD's, and other digital media.
