Frequently asked questions
Why only PNG and BMP?+
Lossless formats. JPEG compression destroys LSB data — steganography in JPEGs uses different methods (F5, JSteg) not covered here.
What if no hidden data is found?+
The tool reports 'no LSB-encoded message detected' — meaning the image is either clean or uses a different steganographic method.
Can it find advanced steganography?+
LSB only. Methods like F5, OutGuess, or steghide need dedicated forensic tools.
