Tool Talk: Unredacter
In our fourth edition of the Tool Talk series, we dive into Unredacter, a tool created by Dan Petro, Lead Researcher at Bishop Fox, that takes redacted pixelized text and reverses it back to its original text.
Did you know that popular text-redaction techniques can be reversed to reveal the original message? If you need to keep sensitive text and data hidden from prying virtual eyes – blurring, swirling, fuzzing, and pixelation may not be as safe as you think.
As featured in Dark Reading, Tech Radar, The Register, and many more – our fourth Tool Talk focuses on Unredacter, an open-source tool written by our own Bishop Fox Lead Researcher, Dan Petro.
Register to learn why pixelation is a no-good, bad, insecure, surefire way to get sensitive data leaked! In our fourth edition, we deep dive into the topic of redaction, exploring:
- The basics of Unredacter – what it is and how it works
- Why it is tricky to beat redaction
- How to make sure redacted text is hidden
- A demo showcasing the tool in action
