sad_satan detect --input image.g5jpg
Expected output:
[+] G5JPG detected. Version: 5.2
[+] Payload size: 234567 bytes
[+] Encryption: XOR with key length 32
Check if decoded.jpg opens normally:
file decoded.jpg
# Should output: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01
If not, try different keys or check for additional steganography layers.

| Error | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| G5JPG header not found | File may be truncated or encrypted twice. Run sad_satan analyze |
| Decoded image is blank | Wrong XOR key; try key length bruteforce (use sad_satan bruteforce --max-keylen 64) |
| SAD SATAN not found | Re-download tool or use manual Python fallback (see Step 3) |
