Extract hidden metadata from Files with ExifTool

Ever wonder what hidden info might be lurking inside an image or document? Many files store metadata—like camera details, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and even usernames—without the owner realizing it. With ExifTool, you can pull out this data in seconds.

ExifTool is a command-line tool used to extract, analyze, and modify metadata in files like images, PDFs, and videos. Metadata includes hidden details such as:

  • Camera info (model, lens, settings)
  • Timestamps (creation, modification dates)
  • GPS coordinates (where a photo was taken)
  • Software used (Photoshop, MS Word, etc.)

It’s pre-installed in Kali Linux and widely used in digital forensics, OSINT, and privacy audits.
