re-stego

re-stego is a skill for Claude Code from dslsdzc/rev-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,763 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to finding and extracting hidden data in files using steganography, a technique for concealing information inside images, audio, or other files. It covers image bits, file endings, metadata, and file structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate CTF challenges and forensic evidence, scan images and audio, inspect unusual file structure or metadata, and recover data spread across several files.
Why use it?
A file can look normal while containing an extra message or embedded data. This guide helps check suspicious files and verify whether extracted data is real.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

re-stego scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

隐写术检测与提取

何时使用 / 何时不用

  • 用:隐写怀疑(CTF 题/取证对象)、文件尾异常、图片/音频异常(尺寸/噪声/文件结构不匹配)
  • 用:文件结构异常(IEND 后仍有数据/EXIF 段超长/像素数与文件大小不匹配)
  • 用:多载体组合(题目/取证场景常见——多文件各藏一部分)
  • 用:取证场景未分配空间/文件系统残留扫描(与 [[re-disk-forensics]] 配合)
  • 不用:正常文件分析(各归各域技能);加密数据解密(密文 ≠ 隐写,载荷解密转 [[re-crypto-decrypt]]);未知文件类型识别([[re-triage]] 先行)
  • 不用:无载体线索的漫无目的扫描(先有怀疑特征再动手,见 [[decision-tree]])

工具准备

zsteg(图片 LSB 扫描)

  • 多平台: gem install zsteg 或源码(GitHub)
  • 验证: zsteg -hgem list zsteg
  • 覆盖范围:PNG/BMP 支持好,GIF 支持有限——GIF 载体换 python 脚本路径

steghide(图片/音频隐写)

  • Linux: apt install steghide / dnf install steghide;macOS: brew install steghide
  • 验证: steghide --versionsteghide info file.jpg(查看是否嵌入数据,无需密码)

binwalk(尾部扫描)

  • 安装与验证见 [[re-fw-extract]] 工具准备

其他检测/提取工具

  • exiftool(EXIF/元数据):Linux apt install libimage-exiftool-perl / dnf install perl-Image-ExifTool;macOS brew install exiftool;验证 exiftool -ver
  • pngcheck(PNG 结构校验/异常):Linux apt install pngcheck;macOS brew install pngcheck;验证 pngcheck -v
  • sox(音频处理/频谱图):Linux apt install sox;macOS brew install sox;验证 sox --version
  • foremost(数据雕刻,取证场景):apt install foremost / brew install foremost
  • stegsolve(逐位平面查看,Java GUI):GitHub 下载 jar(java -jar stegsolve.jar
  • outguess(JPEG DCT 域,旧工具):Linux apt install outguess
  • ffmpeg(音频格式转换,可选):apt install ffmpeg / brew install ffmpeg
  • python3(位操作/验证脚本 + PIL):安装见 [[re-python]];pip install pillow;验证 python3 -c "from PIL import Image"

操作步骤

按顺序执行,每步产物存档(路径 + sha256,见 [[re-triage]])。

  1. 文件尾附加检测
    binwalk sample.png | tail -20       # 附加数据扫描
    hexdump -C sample.png | tail -10    # 尾部目检
    
    • 尾部附加:文件正常但尾部有多余数据(衔接尾部附加经验([[re-patching]] 补丁制作思路))
    • 结构核对:pngcheck -v sample.png 看 IEND 位置与文件尾差距(差值 ≈ 附加数据量)
    • 弱线索快速扫:strings -a sample.png | grep -iE 'flag|ctf|http'
    • 大小核对:与声称内容明显不符(如 3MB 的「小图」)是弱线索
    • 提取:binwalk 自动分割或 dd 按偏移提取(dd if=sample.png of=tail.bin bs=1 skip=<偏移>)→ magic 检查([[re-triage]])
    • EXIF 查看:exiftool -a sample.jpg(全段列出,异常字段/大块注释可疑)
    • 其他文件冗余区:EXIF 元数据(exiftool 查看)、文件头保留区、压缩文件未用空间

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

re-stego is a skill published in the GitHub repository dslsdzc/rev-skills (54 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 2,763 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
