2PAC + RAT Finder

2PAC hides secret data inside images. RAT Finder catches problems - hidden data, corrupt files, broken images.

You want to put data in - use 2PAC. You want to find out if it's bad - use RAT Finder.

What You Can Do

2PAC (Put Data In)

• Hide text using LSB steganography - stable, high capacity, visually imperceptible
• Try DCT steganography - frequency-domain, harder to detect, experimental
• Password-protect your hidden data
• Extract messages from images created by 2PAC
• Load generated demo images directly in the UI

RAT Finder (Find Problems)

• Detect steganography - 7 forensic techniques analyze images for hidden data
• Check image integrity - validate JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WebP files
• Batch validate - upload multiple files and get a status table
• Find corrupt, truncated, and visually damaged images

Local CLI

# 2PAC: hide and extract data
python 2pac.py hide --image photo.png --data "secret" --output out.png
python 2pac.py extract --image out.png

# RAT Finder: detect problems
python ratfinder.py detect suspicious.png --sensitivity high
python ratfinder.py check broken.jpg --check-visual
python ratfinder.py scan ./photos --thorough --repair

Notes

• Keep stego output as PNG. JPEG recompression destroys hidden data.
• RAT Finder confidence is not proof of a secret message - it means forensic anomalies exist.
• Processing happens in the active session; temporary files are deleted after use.
