Stegdetect is an automated tool for detecting steganographic content in images. It is capable of detecting several different steganographic methods to hide messages in JPEG images. Currently, the detectable schemes are jsteg, jphide, and outguess 01.3b. Stegdetect is covered by a BSD license and should compile and run on most UNIX-like operating systems. You can download stegdetect from http://www.outguess.org/detection.html Comments and feedback welcome. Greetings, Niels. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com

Fw: [freenet-devl] freegle.com: major overhaul
by Jim Choate 17 Apr '01

17 Apr '01

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stefan Reich To: devl(a)freenetproject.org Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 2:57 PM Subject: [freenet-devl] freegle.com: major overhaul I was busy over the Easter weekend. That's new on www.freegle.com: -anonymous search page! (inserted with htl 60, should hopefully be visible everywhere) -anonymous key submission (just a description on how to add to the 'freegle' in-freenet key index) -list of recently added keys -better navigation -nicer layout in a shade of orange And here's the what's-to-come list: -automated retrieval of the in-freenet key index (should put that in place soon...) -downloadable version of the search classes, preferably as an fproxy plugin -source code of all the server-side stuff -actual crawling (I'm evaluating the WebSphinx crawler toolkit, should be adaptable to Freenet with few modifications) Enjoy! Laud! Criticize! -Stefan
