Development of Image Shredder Tool

Abstract

Image media distortion is a process in which media is damaged so that it cannot be viewed any longer. The tool distorts the image by overwriting metadata header. Even with a single overwritten data, the image will be damaged. Consequently, a tool that allows making corrupted images restorable even after being deleted in Recycle Bin is important to be developed because there are numerous risks that people might face if personal photos are leaked to the wrong hand. Thus, the objective of this paper is to develop a tool for shredding several types of image media. PADI model involves four phases including Planning, Analysis, Development, and Implementation in developing the tool. As a result, all image file types that have been chosen can be shredded using the Image Shredder Tool. Some of the file types can be viewed by Image Shredder Tool and can be shredded using Image Shredder Tool. The file types are BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF.
