FOCA
FOCA is a digital forensics metadata analyzer and open-source intelligence tool used to extract hidden information from various document types. It functions as a metadata extraction tool that isolates technical data and EXIF information from PDFs, office documents, and SVG files.
The system integrates an open-source intelligence scanner that identifies and downloads target files from the web using multiple search engine APIs. This allows for the automated discovery and acquisition of remote web assets for batch analysis and digital evidence gathering.
The software provides capabilities for document security auditing and forensic analysis by scanning both local file systems and web-based documents. It utilizes a multi-format parser pipeline to identify sensitive embedded metadata that may be concealed within files.
