Stegcracker Not Finding Known Password
wallofsheep opened this issue · 5 comments
Did the following with the same issue noted in the original bug ticket.
Updated to the latest:
pip3 install stegcracker -U --force-reinstall
steghide embed -cf image.jpg -ef secret.txt
created a password of "password" and several other words in it for testing.
created a file named dict.txt with the word "password" in it.
ran:
stegcracker image.jpg dict.txt
Error: Failed to crack file, ran out of passwords.
Tried downloading tom.txt and using a password from that file with a image.jpg and I get the same error.

Did you remove the previous installation of stegcracker? You can test this by running:
cat $(which stegcracker)
It should return the contents of a Python script If the output is the latest verison, try running it with the --verbose option
root@test:~/stegcracker_test# cat $(which stegcracker)
#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from stegcracker.__main__ import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(main())

Could you add the file & worslist you’re using? I’ll look into it after I wake up :) (Extra info like platform you’re using and the expected password etc is appreciated)
Attached is image.jpg
The password is "th" - I used tom.txt from the example that worked (also attached).
Platform: Kali Linux (latest weekly distrib running in VMWare)
Thanks
