• Detect embedded data in a PNG:

zsteg {{path/to/image.png}}

• Detect embedded data in a BMP image, using all known methods:

zsteg --all {{path/to/image.bmp}}

• Detect embedded data in a PNG, iterating pixels vertically and using MSB first:

zsteg --msb --order yx {{path/to/image.png}}

• Detect embedded data in a BMP image, specifying the bits to consider:

zsteg --bits {{1,2,3|1-3}} {{path/to/image.bmp}}

• Detect embedded data in a PNG, extracting only prime pixels and inverting bits:

zsteg --prime --invert {{path/to/image.png}}

• Detect embedded data in a BMP image, specifying the minimum length of the strings to be found and the find mode:

zsteg --min-str-len {{10}} --strings {{first|all|longest|none}} {{path/to/image.bmp}}
