Purpose of PixForensics
PixForensics is an educational tool for security professionals. When companies suspect that another website may have used their images without permission and they suspect that the images are the same without being altered, PixForensics is an ideal app to check for this.
Retrieving all the information and metadata of the images being hosted on a domain, allows for rapid analysis, eliminating the need to download the entire website. PixForensics then is ideal for forensics professionals, security auditors and licensed penetration testers to quickly view and ensure what images are being used on a domain.
Disclaimer
- PixForensics in NO way intrudes with normal operations of web servers and/or domains.
- PixForensics merely makes a single request to a web server domain script, hosted on our server, which in turn makes the request to the website and/or domain, as would a normal user do in a simple browse of a website.
- PixForensics does not download any content whatsoever, from the website and/or domain.
- Search is done in read-only.
- PixForensics also does not search a website further than the level requested.
- PixForensics does not crawl a website like a search engine does, thus there is no impact to the functionality of the website and/or domain.
