Query: Destruction of Image Steganography using Generative Adversarial Networks   Digital image steganalysis, or the detection of image steganography, has been
studied in depth for years and is driven by Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)
groups', such as APT37 Reaper, utilization of steganographic techniques to
transmit additional malware to perform further post-exploitation activity on a
compromised host. However, many steganalysis algorithms are constrained to work
with only a subset of all possible images in the wild or are known to produce a
high false positive rate. This results in blocking any suspected image being an
unreasonable policy. A more feasible policy is to filter suspicious images
prior to reception by the host machine. However, how does one optimally filter
specifically to obfuscate or remove image steganography while avoiding
degradation of visual image quality in the case that detection of the image was
a false positive? We propose the Deep Digital Steganography Purifier (DDSP), a
Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) which is optimized to destroy
steganographic content without compromising the perceptual quality of the
original image. As verified by experimental results, our model is capable of
providing a high rate of destruction of steganographic image content while
maintaining a high visual quality in comparison to other state-of-the-art
filtering methods. Additionally, we test the transfer learning capability of
generalizing to to obfuscate real malware payloads embedded into different
image file formats and types using an unseen steganographic algorithm and prove
that our model can in fact be deployed to provide adequate results.
