The increasing use of digital images across online platforms has led to a growing threat of steganography, where malicious data is concealed within image files to evade conventional security systems. This paper presents a Steganography Detection System designed to detect hidden data embedded in images downloaded from multiple sources, utilizing a dual-engine architecture that combines a Heuristic Engine based on classical detection methods and an AI Enhanced Engine leveraging advanced machine learning techniques, with all analysis performed within an isolated sandbox virtual environment to ensure safe and self-contained processing. The system employs seven detection algorithms — Least Significant Bit (LSB) Analysis, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) Analysis, Gradient Entropy Analysis, Metadata Analysis, File Signature Exploration, Hash Chain Verification, and HMAC Signature Verification — working in parallel to achieve comprehensive detection coverage, while detected stego images are quarantined and managed through user-controlled actions including force download or permanent deletion, with all scan events and outcomes recorded in a tamper-evident audit log for full traceability.
