Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill provides instructions to download and install various steganography tools from external sources, including
pip3 install stegoveritas,gem install zsteg,sudo apt install binwalk, and direct downloads viawgetforStegSolve.jar(from caesum.com) andstegseek(from GitHub). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Detailed command references are provided for numerous shell-based tools including
zsteg,binwalk,steghide,exiftool,multimon-ng, andstegsnowto perform file analysis, chunk extraction, and password brute-forcing. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Several commands utilize
sudoto perform system-level package installations viaaptanddpkg. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: Inline Python scripts are included using
python3 -cto perform runtime calculations such as brute-forcing PNG CRCs for hidden dimension detection, analyzing WAV file headers for appended data, and identifying zero-width or homoglyph characters in text strings. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: As a forensics toolkit, the skill is designed to ingest and analyze untrusted external data (images, audio, and text files) which may contain hidden payload data, presenting a surface for indirect prompt injection if the extracted content is treated as instructions by the agent.
- Ingestion points: Reads local image, audio, and text files for analysis (e.g.,
image.png,audio.wav,message.txt). - Boundary markers: None identified for the data extraction process.
- Capability inventory: Includes file read/write, network downloads for tools, and shell command execution.
- Sanitization: None identified; the skill is intended to extract raw hidden data for the user to review.
