About wholeaked
wholeaked is a file-sharing tool designed to identify the source of leaked documents. It embeds unique signatures into files shared with different recipients, allowing traceability if the file is later leaked. The tool supports various file types and multiple methods of signature embedding.
It can automatically distribute files via email using Sendgrid, AWS SES, or SMTP, or files can be shared manually. When a leak occurs, wholeaked can analyze the file to determine which recipient's signature is present, revealing the source of the leak.
The tool is written in Go and works across multiple platforms. It offers different detection modes including file hashing, binary modification, metadata editing, and PDF watermarking to accommodate various file types and security needs.
