Stegseek v0.5

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

Stegseek v0.4.1 (Bugfix)

Minor release (bugfix)

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

Stegseek v0.4

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 😄

Stegseek v0.3

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 v0.2

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.
