PhotoSecUtils

Python script which allows easy bulk scrubbing of photo EXIF data as well as renaming of files using python modules promoting online safety and opsec

Usage

This script can be used as a CLI tool (interactive) or via CLI arguments and follow the prompts. \n

• To use the CLI tool interactively, run the script without any arguments:

python3 photoutils.py

• To use the CLI tool with arguments:

python3 photoutils.py -h / --help -r / --rename -c / --clear -g / --geo / -a / --analysis
  

• It can also be run from outside of the directory as a module after using setup.py:

python3 setup.py build

python3 setup.py install

python3 -m PhotoSec

Commands:

• -h or --help for help
• -r or --rename to rename files in a directory
• -c or --clear to bulk clear EXIF data from files in a directory
• -g or --geo to bulk check if images contain GPS/location data
• -a or --analysis to analyze and image file for information, malicious code injection, etc.

Requirements

• This project was built using Python 3.10. It may work with other versions of Python 3, but this is not guaranteed.
• This project has only been used and tested on Linux.
• Binwalk and exfitool must be installed on the system.

Sources

This script makes use of various open-source programs and modules. Special thanks to Kenneth Leung for his work on the Exif module, as well as the creators of binwalk and exiftool.
