wholeaked is an open source file distribution and tracking tool designed to help identify the source of leaked files. It works by generating unique versions of a file for each recipient and embedding identifying signatures or metadata into each distributed copy. If the file later appears in an unauthorized location, the embedded identifier can be analyzed to determine which recipient originally received that specific version. This approach allows organizations, researchers, or individuals to trace the origin of leaks in sensitive documents, binaries, or other shared resources. wholeaked automates the process of creating personalized file variants and associating them with a list of recipients. By integrating metadata signatures into each distributed file, wholeaked makes it easier to track potential data leaks while maintaining a structured record of distribution. Overall, it provides a practical method for accountability and leak attribution when sharing confidential files.
