OpenDLP not scanning inside PDF #63

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put text file with ssn
2. Make pdf with same ssn from text file
3. Run scan

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The ssn is found in the text file but not the PDF

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4.4

Please provide any additional information below.

The two screenshots show the successful finding of the 'fake ssn' in the text 
document but not in the PDF. I remember previous versions being able to scan 
inside of PDF's

I opened this file in a text editor and did not see either SSN string. 
Currently, OpenDLP just essentially does a "grep" for information inside files, 
so that's why it can't find it.

I will look into adding better support for scanning PDF files in a future 
release. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

This would be very helpful for my company as well.  Have you looked at the 
pdftotext utility?

I would concur that this functionality would greatly enhance OpenDLP's 
usefulness. A lot of organizations have archival reports in PDF format and 
those PDF files can contain a lot of sensitive data.
