Disclaimer

StegoToolkit's tools are provided for educational purposes, cybersecurity research, Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, digital watermarking, and legitimate personal privacy use. The techniques demonstrated — steganography, encryption, and forensic analysis — are widely documented, publicly known methods used throughout security research and computer science education.

We do not control, monitor, or have any visibility into how visitors use these tools, since all processing happens locally in your browser and nothing is transmitted to us. StegoToolkit and its operators are not responsible for any illegal, unauthorized, or harmful use of these tools by any user. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with the laws of your jurisdiction and the terms of any platform, network, or system you use these tools on or against.

Content on this site — including tool descriptions, blog articles, algorithm explanations, and forensic analysis results — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, security, or professional advice. For decisions with real legal or security consequences, consult a qualified professional.

StegoToolkit is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to any steganography research body, CTF organization, or the original authors of any algorithm or format referenced on this site (including but not limited to LSB, DCT/F5, PVD, or any tool named after prior software such as StegSolve or zsteg). Names of third-party tools or techniques are used descriptively, for compatibility and educational reference only.

Steganalysis, detection, and brute-force results produced by these tools are best-effort heuristics, not guarantees. A "clean" result does not prove a file contains no hidden data, and a detected "flag" or pattern is not proof of malicious intent. Always apply independent judgment before acting on any automated result from this site.

We may update this disclaimer from time to time; material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
