Forensics Tool Finds Headerless Encrypted Files

Posted by timothy on from the sir-there's-an-anomaly-here dept.

gurps_npc writes "Forensics Innovations claims to have for sale a product that detects headerless encrypted files, such as TrueCrypt Dynamic files. It does not decrypt the file, just tells you that it is in fact an encrypted file. It works by detecting hidden patterns that don't exist in a random file. It does not mention steganography, but if their claim is true, it seems that it should be capable of detecting stenographic information as well."

    I wonder if you are aware of the "I'm superior to you" undercurrent behind that.

    Lol! Now I understand why you put that disclaimer on there. You have an inferiority complex and getting downmodded just feeds it.
