Media Detective

Media Detective is a software tool designed to automatically find pornography and other unwanted material on your computer, and present the files found for assessment by the user. Any items found can be deleted. It does this by rapidly inspecting all files on the hard drive(s), selecting those which appear to be offensive, and presenting them so that the user can review them. Image files can be viewed and Movie files can be played to check their contents. Media Detective identifies suspect files by classifying them through various analytical methods: Skin-tone Analysis attempts to identify images and movies that contain nudity by opening them and scanning them for the presence of skin color. Keyword analysis compares FileNames against a list of known keywords, to further identify obscene files. Content Verification checks the binary content of files to ensure that the file contents are correctly reflected in their filename. This test can reveal files that have been renamed to Conceal their contents. ZIP file checking makes sure that no unwanted files are hidden inside a compressed file.
