Backbone Security
is pleased to announce availability of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of
their popular digital steganography detection tools for use on forensic
workstations running 64-bit operating systems. The new versions of the
tools can run under Windows XP Pro x64, Windows Vista x64, and Windows 7
x64 and is in line with the growing evolution toward 64-bit forensic
workstations.
As applications continue
demanding more memory and file sizes in general continues to grow, the
memory limitation of 4GB for 32-bit platforms is becoming more painful
to endure. Accordingly, more and more forensic examiners are migrating
to 64-bit platforms as their high end forensic workstations.
StegAlyzerAS™ detects the
fingerprints (hash values) of file and registry artifacts associated
with more than 800 steganography applications. StegAlyzerSS™ detects the
signatures of more than 50 of those applications and provides an
automated extraction capability, a “point-click-and-extract” interface”,
for a growing number of those applications. These tools were developed
in Backbone’s Steganography Analysis and Research Center (SARC) and are
widely used by US and international law enforcement agencies; the
intelligence community; and private sector computer forensic examiners
to detect the presence or use of steganography applications on seized
digital media.
This capability was made
possible through the use of 64-bit image mounting and auto detection
technology provided by Paraben Corporation.

Excellence in steganography research and development within Backbone
