Updated Steganography SearchPak for ADF Solutions Triage Tools Now Available
Latest Version Detects 768 Steganography Applications
PRESS RELEASE
February 3, 2010
FAIRMONT, WV - Backbone Security, the global leader in advanced digital steganalysis
tools, in conjunction with ADF Solutions, the global leader of forensic triage tools,
is pleased to announce the availability of an updated Steganography SearchPak for
use with ADF’s revolutionary digital forensic triage tools currently deployed at
law enforcement agencies, government organizations, and commercial corporations
worldwide.
The Steganography SearchPak was created from hash values extracted from the latest
version of 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 digital forensics lab examiners can use the Steganography SearchPak
with Triage-ID and Triage-Lab to quickly detect any files associated with 768 steganography
applications. The tools are designed to be used by both technical and non technical
users and are widely deployed for both field and lab investigations.
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.
Detecting the presence of steganography applications is a strong indication the
application may have been used to conceal digital evidence. When files associated
with steganography applications are 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.
