When deepfakes destroy lives, proof matters

Detect manipulated media, pinpoint tampering, and generate forensic proof for cybercrime action — in minutes.

Everything you need to fight deepfake abuse

From verification to forensic proof and cybercrime reporting — Sniffer handles every step.

Media Authenticity Verification

Detect whether an image or video has been manipulated using cryptographic and forensic checks — not probabilistic guesses.

Hash-based proofDeterministic resultsTamper detection

Tamper Localization

Pinpoint exactly where an image was altered — faces, regions, or injected elements — with visual forensic overlays.

Pixel-level mappingFace manipulationVisual evidence

Forensic Severity Scoring

Automatically classify incidents based on identity misuse, sexual exploitation risk, and manipulation intensity.

Metadata & Device Intelligence

Extract EXIF data, timestamps, device fingerprints, and editing traces to strengthen forensic context.

Cybercrime Report Generator

Generate court-ready forensic reports with tamper visuals and submit them directly to cybercrime authorities.

From upload to forensic proof

A deterministic pipeline built for evidence, accountability, and real-world action

1

Media Intake

Suspected images or videos are securely uploaded for forensic verification.

2

Cryptographic Proof

Deterministic hashing establishes originality and detects post-creation tampering.

3

Tamper Localization

Manipulated regions are precisely identified and visually highlighted.

4

Forensic Reporting

A structured, verifiable report is generated for takedown or legal escalation.

Deterministic Forensic Verification

Sniffer does not rely on probabilistic visual cues alone. Instead, it establishes deterministic proof of media authenticity using cryptographic verification and precise tamper localization.

Each verification produces a structured forensic record that can support platform takedowns, legal proceedings, and cybercrime investigations — without storing or exposing sensitive content.

Impact that extends beyond detection

Sniffer shortens victim response time, strengthens legal action, and restores trust in digital evidence.

Victim-Centric Protection

Sniffer empowers victims of non-consensual deepfake abuse by drastically reducing the time and effort required to prove media manipulation. Visual tamper localization and forensic reports help limit prolonged exposure, harassment, and repeated circulation of harmful content.

Legal & Investigative Support

By providing deterministic cryptographic verification instead of probabilistic AI predictions, Sniffer generates evidence suitable for cybercrime complaints, internal investigations, and legal proceedings. This bridges the technical gap between victims and enforcement agencies.

Platform & Ecosystem Integrity

Sniffer assists digital platforms in validating abuse claims with structured forensic data, reducing false reports while enabling faster takedown decisions. This supports fair moderation without over-censorship.

Societal & Policy-Level Impact

As generative media becomes more accessible, Sniffer establishes accountability by discouraging malicious use and restoring trust in digital authenticity. Its adoption encourages responsible AI deployment at a societal and regulatory level.

Why Sniffer Exists. And why it matters.

Sniffer began as a college project and evolved into a forensic response to a growing problem — where deepfake harm spreads faster than clarity, evidence, or action.

Sniffer

Building forensic clarity in an age of synthetic media

While studying the rapid rise of deepfake misuse, it became clear that detection alone was not enough. Victims often lacked guidance, investigators struggled with verification, and digital evidence frequently lost credibility before any action could begin.

Sniffer was built to bridge this gap — combining AI-assisted analysis with forensic-style reporting, evidence integrity, and a victim-first workflow. The system is being developed and validated within a controlled institutional environment to ensure responsibility before scale.
