$ steghide extract --stegofile ${path-to-sound-wav}
try on your machine
The command "steghide extract --stegofile ${path-to-sound-wav}" is used to extract hidden data from a sound file using the steghide tool.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "steghide" is the name of the tool that allows hiding and extracting data within various types of files, including image, audio, and video files.
- "extract" is the specific command within steghide that instructs it to extract the hidden data from the file.
- "--stegofile" is an option used to specify the path or name of the input sound file that contains the hidden data. The placeholder "${path-to-sound-wav}" indicates that you need to replace it with the actual path to the WAV sound file you want to extract data from.
Therefore, when you run this command and provide the path to a WAV sound file, steghide will extract any hidden data that may be contained within it.
