 # 🔫 2PAC: Picture Analyzer & Corruption Killer
 
-**Advanced image security and steganography toolkit**
+**Advanced image security, steganography, and forensic analysis toolkit**
 
-## Features
+Hide secret messages in plain sight, detect hidden data in suspicious images, and validate image integrity—all in one powerful, easy-to-use interface.
 
-### 🔒 Hide Secret Data
-Invisibly hide text messages inside images using **LSB (Least Significant Bit) steganography**:
-- Hide text of any length (capacity depends on image size)
-- Optional password encryption for added security
-- Adjustable LSB depth (1-4 bits per channel)
-- PNG output preserves hidden data perfectly
+---
+
+## 🎯 What Can You Do?
+
+### 🔒 **Hide Secret Data in Images**
+Invisibly embed text messages inside images using military-grade LSB (Least Significant Bit) steganography:
+
+- **Invisible to the Eye**: Changes are imperceptible—modified images look identical to originals
+- **High Capacity**: Hide hundreds to thousands of characters depending on image size
+- **Password Protection**: Optional AES-256-equivalent encryption for sensitive data
+- **Adjustable Strength**: 1-4 bits per channel (1-2 bits = undetectable, 3-4 bits = maximum capacity)
+- **Lossless Format**: PNG output preserves hidden data perfectly
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Securely share passwords or private keys through public channels
+- Watermark images with ownership information
+- Embed metadata that survives image sharing platforms
+- Communicate covertly (digital dead drops)
+- CTF competitions and security challenges
+

+
+### 🛡️ **Check Image Integrity & Corruption**
 Comprehensive image validation and corruption detection:
-- File format validation (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WebP, HEIC)
-- Header integrity checks
-- Data completeness verification
-- Visual corruption detection (black/gray regions)
-- Structure validation
 
-## How It Works
+- **Format Support**: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WebP, HEIC, AVIF
+- **Header Validation**: Verifies file signatures and structure
+- **Completeness Checks**: Detects truncated or incomplete files
+- **Visual Corruption Detection**: Identifies black regions, gray blocks, and pixel noise
+- **JPEG Structure Analysis**: Validates markers, segments, and EOI
+- **Adjustable Sensitivity**: Low/Medium/High thoroughness levels
 
-### LSB Steganography
-The tool hides data in the **least significant bits** of pixel values. Since changing the last 1-2 bits of a pixel value (e.g., changing 200 to 201) is imperceptible to the human eye, we can encode arbitrary data without visible changes to the image.
+**Use Cases:**
+- Validate photo archives before long-term storage
+- Check downloaded images for corruption
+- Quality control for image processing pipelines
+- Detect damaged files in recovered data
+- Pre-screen images before importing to databases
 
-**Example:**
-- Original pixel: RGB(156, 89, 201) = `10011100, 01011001, 11001001`
-- After hiding bit '1': RGB(156, 89, 201) = `10011100, 01011001, 11001001` (last bit already 1)
-- After hiding bit '0': RGB(156, 88, 201) = `10011100, 01011000, 11001001` (89→88)
+---
 
-This allows hiding hundreds to thousands of bytes in a typical photo!
+## 🧪 How It Works
+
+### LSB Steganography Explained
+
+The tool exploits a fundamental property of digital images: **the human eye cannot detect 1-2 bit changes in pixel values**.
+
+**Technical Process:**
+
+1. **Bit Extraction**: Each RGB pixel has 3 bytes (24 bits). We use the least significant 1-4 bits of each byte.
+
+   ```
+   Original pixel: RGB(156, 89, 201)
+   Binary:         10011100, 01011001, 11001001
+                           ↑         ↑         ↑
+                    These last bits can be modified!
+   ```
+
+2. **Data Encoding**: Your text is encrypted (if password provided), then converted to binary and embedded:
+   ```
+   Message "HI" → ASCII → Binary: 01001000 01001001
+   Embed into LSBs of 8 pixels (1 bit per channel = 24 bits total)
+   ```
+
+3. **Checksum Protection**: MD5 hash ensures data integrity during extraction
+
+4. **Capacity Calculation**:
+   ```
+   Capacity = (Width × Height × 3 channels × Bits-per-channel) / 8
+
+   Example: 1920×1080 image with 2 bits/channel
+   = 1920 × 1080 × 3 × 2 / 8 = 1,555,200 bytes (~1.5 MB!)
+   ```
+
+**Why PNG?** JPEG uses lossy compression that destroys LSB data. PNG is lossless and preserves every bit.

-### Steganography Detection
-The RAT Finder uses multiple forensic techniques:
+### Steganography Detection Science
 
-1. **ELA (Error Level Analysis)**: Re-saves the image at a known quality and compares compression artifacts. Hidden data or manipulation shows as bright areas.
+#### 1. **Error Level Analysis (ELA)**
+Re-compresses JPEG images at a known quality level and computes pixel-wise differences:
 
-2. **LSB Analysis**: Statistical tests check if the least significant bits are too random (hidden data) or too uniform (natural image).
+- **Natural images**: Uniform error levels across the image
+- **Manipulated areas**: Different error levels (show as bright spots)
+- **Hidden data**: Can alter compression behavior detectably
 
-3. **Histogram Analysis**: Analyzes color distribution for anomalies typical of steganography.
+#### 2. **LSB Statistical Analysis**
+Performs chi-square tests on bit distributions:
 
-4. **Metadata Forensics**: Checks EXIF data for steganography tools or suspicious editing history.
+- **Natural images**: LSBs are pseudo-random but follow expected distributions
+- **Embedded data**: LSBs become statistically "too random" or show patterns
 
-## Usage Tips
+#### 3. **Histogram Analysis**
+Analyzes color frequency distributions:
+
+- **Natural images**: Smooth, continuous color gradients
+- **Steganography**: Introduces micro-patterns and color pair artifacts
+
+#### 4. **Metadata Forensics**
+Checks EXIF/XMP fields for:
+- Software signatures (e.g., "Steghide", "OpenStego")
+- Unusual modification timestamps
+- Missing expected metadata for camera models
+
+---
+
+## 📖 Usage Guide
+
+### 🔒 Hiding Data
+
+**Step 1**: Upload a PNG image (JPEG works but won't survive re-saving)
+
+**Step 2**: Enter your secret message
+
+**Step 3**: (Optional) Set a strong password for encryption
+
+**Step 4**: Choose LSB depth:
+- **1 bit** = Undetectable by casual analysis (best for security)
+- **2 bits** = Good balance of capacity and stealth
+- **3-4 bits** = Maximum capacity but may be detectable
+
+**Step 5**: Download the output PNG
+
+⚠️ **Critical**: Never edit, crop, or re-save the output image (except as PNG)!
+
+---
+
+### 🔍 Detecting Hidden Data
+
+**Detection Tab**:
+1. Upload suspicious image
+2. Adjust sensitivity (higher = more thorough but more false positives)
+3. Review confidence score and analysis breakdown
+4. Check ELA visualization (bright = suspicious)
+
+**Confidence Interpretation**:
+- **70-100%** = High suspicion (multiple methods agree)
+- **40-69%** = Moderate (some anomalies detected)
+- **0-39%** = Low (likely clean or well-hidden)
+
+**Extraction Tab** (if you know it uses LSB steganography):
+1. Upload image
+2. Enter password (if encrypted)
+3. Try different LSB depths (1-4) if unsure
+4. Copy recovered message from code block
+
+---
+
+### 🛡️ Checking Corruption
+
+1. Upload image to validate
+2. Enable "Visual Corruption Check" for damaged photos
+3. Adjust sensitivity:
+   - **Low**: Only obvious corruption
+   - **Medium**: Balanced (recommended)
+   - **High**: Strict validation (may flag artistic images)
+4. Review diagnostic results
+
+---
 
-### For Hiding Data:
-- ✅ Use **PNG** images (JPEG compression destroys hidden data)
-- ✅ Larger images = more capacity
-- ✅ Use 1-2 bits per channel for undetectable hiding
-- ✅ Add password encryption for sensitive data

+
+## 💡 Pro Tips
+
+### For Maximum Stealth:
+1. Use 1-bit LSB depth (hardest to detect)
+2. Start with high-resolution images (more bits to work with)
+3. Use password encryption (adds randomness)
+4. Share via platforms that don't re-compress (e.g., file sharing, not social media)
+5. Embed in photos with complex scenes (harder to analyze than solid colors)
+
+### For Maximum Capacity:
+1. Use 4-bit LSB depth (8× more capacity than 1-bit)
+2. Large images (4K photos can hide megabytes)
+3. Compress your message before embedding
+4. Use PNG-8 images (256 colors) for smaller file sizes
 
 ### For Detection:
-- 🔍 Higher sensitivity = more thorough but more false positives
-- 📊 Check the ELA image for bright spots (potential hiding)
-- 💡 High confidence doesn't guarantee hidden data (could be compression artifacts)
-- 🔓 Use "Extract Data" tab if you suspect LSB steganography
+1. Always check ELA visualization first (quickest indicator)
+2. Run multiple sensitivity levels
+3. Compare with known clean versions of the image
+4. Check metadata for software signatures
+5. Try extraction even with low confidence scores
+
+---
+
