Inspiration

We were inspired by real-world problems:

AI-generated ransom scams Metadata leaks exposing victims Hidden communication through images Malware injected inside image files Lack of easy-to-use forensic tools for common people

What it does

Metadata & Geolocation Analysis AI-Generated Image Detection Steganography Detection Malware & Image Payload Scanning

How we built it

Python for forensic logic OpenCV for pixel-level analysis Pillow for image processing ExifTool for metadata extraction Custom steganography detection scripts Machine learning model for AI-image classification

Challenges we ran into

1)AI API Quota Exhaustion (Gemini 429) 2) Gunicorn Worker Timeouts 3) Nginx 413 Request Entity Too Large

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Set Nginx upload limit: client_max_body_size 20M;

What we learned

Gemini ai, metadata analysis
