Analyzing Image Malware with OSINTs after Steganography using Symmetric Key Algorithm

Steganography is the practice of hiding a message or information within another file, such as an image (Singh & Singla, 2022). OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) involves using publicly available for intelligence gathering purposes. In this research, asymmetric key algorithm will be applied to steganography method, 10 images with different sizes and dimensions. Images tested are in tiff, gif, png, jpg, bmp format. A combination could involve analyzing decoding found on platforms, social media, uncover hidden messages. On other hand, can also used protect sensitive from prying eyes. Overall, Symmetric Key Algorithm powerful tool both secure communication. Here work, malware developed, that victim’s machine exploited. Later, analysis done via freely OSINTs find out which best gives results. have been very helpful identifying whether URLs files malicious not. But how binding makes it difficult identify they not being analyzed work. The shows VirusTotal has greater number engines detect whereas others don’t variety malware.
