snowdrop

Snowdrop provides reliable, difficult to remove steganographic watermarking of text documents (internal memos, draft research papers, advisories and other writing) and C sources (limited distribution software, licensed software, or freely available code) so that: (1) leaks can be identified if the data goes public. (2) original source can be determined and demonstrated if part of the document is claimed by somebody else, copied without permission, etc. Snowdrop uses redundant steganography using four different logical channels, and should be proof to many modifications, including reformatting, spell checking and so on.

This package is useful in forensic investigations and security actions. It provides three commands: sd-eng, sd-engf and sd-c. sd-eng and sd-engf provide watermarking for draft-quality and fine-quality English language text documents, respectively, whereas sd-c provides experimental C source code watermarking.

Warning: Snowdrop is currently in beta, and may produce bad or corrupted results, especially when run on C source code.

sd-c

Text watermarking and watermark recovery

root@kali:~# sd-c -h
snowdrop 0.02b: text watermarking / watermark recovery by [email protected]

[*] Weak 32-bit watermarking used (use -6 to change it).
Usage: sd-c [ -6 ] -e origfile newfile
       sd-c [ -6 ] -l
       sd-c [ -6 ] -i origfile newfile "Recipient" [ "Comment" ] 

First method of calling the program (with -e option) enables watermark
extraction mode. In this mode, file passed as a first parameter must be
the original document used to generate second file (or its portions).

Second method (-l) simply lists the contents of the watermark database
for the module you're now running.

Third method (-i) enables watermark injection mode. File 'origfile' is
modified and saved as 'newfile'. Mandatory parameter is the recipient
identifier. Optional comment can be added for your reference.

Additional parameter -6 enables strong, 64-bit watermarking that is suitable
for providing public documentation of watermarked document abuse.

sd-eng

Text watermarking and watermark recovery

root@kali:~# sd-eng -h

[*] Weak 32-bit watermarking used (use -6 to change it).
Usage: sd-eng [ -6 ] -e origfile newfile
       sd-eng [ -6 ] -l
       sd-eng [ -6 ] -i origfile newfile "Recipient" [ "Comment" ]

This module supports SD_SYNONYMS environment variable that should
point to an alternative 'synonyms' file, if necessary. Make sure
to keep the copy of used alternative file for further reference.
