SARC Releases Expanded Steganography Hash Set
Published: Wed, 30 Apr 2008, 08:08:51 GMT
Newest Version of Steganography Application Fingerprint Database (SAFDB) Now Available
FAIRMONT, W.Va., April 30 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Backbone Security, the industry leader in advanced digital steganalysis tools, is pleased to announce the latest version of the Steganography Application Fingerprint Database (SAFDB), the world's largest commercially available hash set exclusive to steganography applications.
Developed in Backbone's Steganography Analysis and Research Center (SARC), SAFDB Version 3.3 contains the fingerprints, or hash values, of every file artifact associated with 725 steganography applications.
SAFDB is widely used by U.S. and international law enforcement agencies; the intelligence community; and private sector computer forensic examiners to detect steganography applications on seized digital media. The existence of an application is a strong indication the application was used to conceal evidence of criminal activity.
SAFDB contains the hash values of all file artifacts associated with the 725 applications in the database computed with the CRC-32 and MD-5 hashing algorithms plus all five of the algorithms specified in the Secure Hash Standard, FIPS 180-2. The database also includes the artifact file name, file size, associated application name, in addition to other information about each file artifact and steganography application.
An MD5 extract of the database is available at no cost to qualifying U.S. and international law enforcement, government, and intelligence agency digital forensic examiners.
The extract is available in formats that can be imported into EnCase, FTK, Hashkeeper, ILook, and ProDiscover. For information on registering for access to the free MD5 extract of SAFDB V3.3, please visit www.sarc-wv.com/register.aspx.
SAFDB is an integral part of the Steganography Analyzer Artifact Scanner, or StegAlyzerAS. In addition to being the most comprehensive steganography artifact detection tool currently available on the market, StegAlyzerAS also offers the unique capability to detect Windows registry artifacts which may make it possible to determine a particular steganography application was used even if the user uninstalled the application and deleted the associated files and folders.
