Abstract

Steganography is the art of concealing messages through hidden data that is embedded in a carrier medium. Current steganalysis practices focus on detecting and recovering these pieces of hidden data. This paper focuses on instances when neither detecting nor recovering data is desirable, but on proactively cleansing the cover media from possible steganographic data. To support this need, a proof-of-concept steganography obliterator is designed and implemented to partially or completely remove the hidden message from possible media carriers such as image, video, and audio files.
