SmutDetect - Feedback Wanted

l24_7 · 2010-08-07T14:32:27Z

Linkhttp//sourceforge.net/projects/smutdetect/What is this?SmutDetect is a skin-tone image mining software which scans directories for images containing a specified percentage of skin-tones. It ranks (and filters) these images in various reports. Hash-export can be used to process the results in TSK/autopsy.What I wantI would be more than happy if you would take the time to test this software and let me know about bugs via the bug tracker on SF or email. Also I would be more than pleased if you have further suggestions for the improvement of this application.Background InfoDuring my current studies of Forensic Computing I started writing the application SmutDetect which is supposed to speed up the findings of skin tone images on a suspect storage device / recovered digital evidence. This skin tone image mining software is running quite stable at the moment but is still in Beta stage. The algorithms behind it are NOT new as they have been taken from the documented concept of FileHound. (See Code comments for more details.) FileHound though is not easily obtained as it is only given to "select academic and research organizations" and law enforcement.SmutDetect provides a free (in the understanding of the GPL) implementation of established algorithms trying to aid the digital forensic investigator. Currently the implementation is limited to RGB and YCbCr detection algorithms. A GUI is not available yet but the extensive configuration file should allow for enough flexibility and easy execution. Several output types like CSV, txt, html or hashlists should ease further processing of the findings depending on the investigators demands and needs. The hashlists work well to highlight the findings in Sleuthkit via the autopsy browser.Further Roadmapif my free time allows the following is already planned- Multithreading to utilize multicore processors- GUI for users not comfortable using the CLI- implementation of further detection algorithms looking at other colorspaces like HSV- implementation of a video decode library to scan frames of video streamsSome discussion of what has been implemented can be found herehttp//www.grap3.net/main/blog/smutdetectPlease take the time to test it and provide feedback - Thank you!

The
defaultIndexDir =
setting in .config seems like being erroneusly parsed. ?

Please provide some examples.

Include a "plain" example (8.3 compatible), a path with spaces in it, a special characters one (like umlaut, accented characters and the like), and specify if a backslah is needed at the end of the path or not.

Examples
defaultIndexDir = E\Documents and Settings\something\Desktop\Fictional\
In LogFileError Indexing/grabbing
EDocuments and SettingssomethingDesktop♀ictional#\

defaultIndexDir = "E\Documents and Settings\something\Desktop\Fictional\"
In LogFile Aquirred List of Files/Images from
"EDocuments and SettingssomethingDesktop♀ictional"\

None actually produced anything of use.
This worked
defaultIndexDir = E/Documents and Settings/something/Desktop/Fictional
Grabbing all Files in specified Directory E\Documents and Settings\something\Desktop\Fictional
In LogFile Aquirred List of Files/Images from E/Documents and Settings/something/Desktop/Fictional\
(please note the final backslash on last line)

You have to make up your mind betweeen forward and back slashes wink

Thanks for testing this! I will have to look this up as atm all file separators are taken from the System Information to allow cross platform compatibility. However like you have shown I still have some errors in it.

At the moment my personal life keeps me quite busy but I will try to resolve that in the next days. Thanks for reporting it )

PS Do you mind if I add your post to the bug tracker on SF?

No hurry whatsoever. )

Of course not, heck it's a public forum, if I had something not to be disclosed, I wouldn't have posted it on a board. wink

JFYI, the Careware license I normally use for my half-a**ed batches, applies also to my opinions/ideas/suggestions

Small Note An unexpected hospital visit, personal life and Uni preparation kept me from looking over the code yet. Hence the next Update will be a bit later than planned.
