Abstract

Steganography software detection is one of effective approaches for steganography forensics using software analysis. In this paper a method of LSB replacement steganography software detection is proposed. Firstly three typical implementations of LSB replacement algorithms are analyzed and Finite Automatons description of them are presented. Secondly the control flow automatons are constructed for softwares to be detected. Finally, the model checking method for identifying LSB replacement steganography software is adopted. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reliably detect LSB replacement steganography softwares of different versions and those that are reimplemented relatively.
