Abstract :
By thwarting visual and chi2 attacks, the F5 steganographic algorithm is viewed as a challenge to steganalysis. This paper presents a novel algorithm that can break F5, even with low embedding rates. The test results show that the proposed method can accurately break F5 when relatively short messages (82 bytes) are embedded into a 256times256 gray image
