AI Analysis

●●SolidDark HorseNiche Gem

Steganalysis at Aletheia parity with 100× faster RS detection, plus deniable dual-passphrase mode.

Strengths
  • •Matches Aletheia on SPA/RS/WS detectors with calibrated false-alarm rates on real datasets
  • •Deniable mode holds two messages in one file — decoy passphrase reveals nothing about real payload
  • •Three authenticated ciphers (Ascon-128, ChaCha20-Poly1305, AES-256-GCM) with Argon2id key derivation
Weaknesses
  • •Steganography is inherently niche — most users have no threat model requiring hidden messages
  • •GUI exists but steganalysis tools remain CLI-heavy for serious forensic work
