File forensics
The full reference for file metadata, true-type identification, and secret/indicator scanning — tool by tool, with inputs, outputs, and data source.
File forensics
This category is for examining files you already have. You point a tool at a file and it tells you what is really inside — hidden metadata, true type, or secrets and indicators buried in it. Every tool here runs entirely on your machine: the file you're examining never leaves your computer.
| Tool | Input | Returns | Data source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image Metadata | An image file | Format and dimensions, a curated EXIF tag subset, and any embedded GPS coordinates | Local |
| Office Metadata | An Office Open XML file (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) | Author, organization, and revision metadata from the document | Local |
| PDF Metadata | A PDF | Metadata from its /Info dictionary and optional XMP packet — author, creator, dates, and more | Local |
Every tool here works on a file or text you already have, on your machine — except Wordlist Extractor, which fetches the page you point it at to build its wordlist from. If the file itself is sensitive, this category is where you want to be: nothing about it leaves your computer.
This table covers the file-forensics tools currently in the library. Use the command palette to confirm you're seeing the current set.
