FotoForensics: Digital photo forensics tool

FotoForensics provides digital photo forensics tools for researchers and investigators, formerly known as Errevelanalysis.com, which was recreated by Hacker Factor in 2012. The website is sponsored by Hacker Factor and adheres to the principle of free service. It has no advertisements and does not provide user information to third parties. The website does not guarantee user image privacy, and the collected images and related information are used for website management and research. This service is intended for individuals and is not suitable for commercial or other purposes. Supports multiple mainstream browsers, but has restrictions on some older browsers and specific mobile browsers, and does not support anonymous proxy uploads. The website has no official application, does not use advertisements, and sometimes uses captcha to prevent bots and unauthorized users. In terms of file submission, specific format images are supported, with requirements for image size and content. Uploading illegal content such as pornography is prohibited. After uploading the image, it can be viewed by others through a link and may be used for analysis and training. It will be retained on the server for at least 3 months. If the user violates the rules, they will be banned and automatically unblocked after 3 months, or they can apply for unblocking. In addition, the FAQ also covers regulations on trademarks, copyrights, content removal, and reporting of illegal content.

Website Services and Background: FotoForensics provides cutting-edge tools for digital photo forensics, originating from the photo analysis algorithm presented by Dr. Neal Krawetz at a computer security conference in 2007. In 2010, Pete Ringwood created a related free service website, and in 2012, Hacker Factor rebuilt it as "fotoforensics. com", continuing the concept of free services, sponsored and operated by Hacker Factor. For example, users can use the tools provided by the platform to analyze images without paying any fees.

Privacy and Data Collection: The website privacy policy states that this is a public website and does not guarantee the privacy of uploaded images. Collect images, image related information, and regular log information for website management and research purposes. We will not disclose user personal information or provide it to third parties, nor collect email addresses and sales content. For example, when uploading images, users need to agree that the images can be used for analysis by FotoForensics, Hacker Factor, and research partners.

Usage restrictions and browser support: The service is intended for individuals and commercial, legal, and other purposes are prohibited. Supports most of the latest browsers with HTML5 and CSS3, JavaScript is required, and older browsers may not function properly. Mobile Safari only supports URL upload, as it may modify images and render analysis information useless. It is recommended to use other browsers such as Chrome or Firefox. If using Mobile Safari to upload images, analysis tools such as Error Level Analysis and JPEG% will only recognize the modified images in Safari, not the original images.

File submission specifications: Can upload local computer images or online image URLs, supports specific formats such as JPEG and PNG, files should not exceed 10MB, and sizes should be between 100x100 pixels and 10000x10000 pixels. It is prohibited to upload pornographic, sensitive personal information, and content used for illegal activities. If you want to protect image privacy, you can use FotoForensics Lab's private services. For example, uploading images containing personal driver's license and passport information will be prohibited.

Copyright and Content Removal: Hacker Factor owns trademarks and copyrights related to the website, but does not own the copyright of user submitted images. The website believes that its behavior complies with the "fair use" clause of the US copyright law. If you need to remove content, you can apply through website forms or mail. You need to provide links, reasons for removal, copyright proof, and personal information. False or incomplete information cannot be removed. For example, if you apply for removal due to copyright issues, you need to explain the reasons why you believe the website does not comply with Article 107 of the Copyright Law.
