Attacking the OutGuess

In this paper, we describe new methodology for developing steganalytic methods for JPEG images. The proposed framework can be applied to virtually all current methods for JPEGs including OutGuess, F5, and J-Steg. It also enables accurate estimation of the length of the embedded secret message. The methodology is demonstrated on OutGuess 0.2.
