stegsnow: Determine approximate [S]torage capacity with line [l]ength less than 72 for file.
$ stegsnow -S -l 72 ${filename-txt}
try on your machine
The command "stegsnow -S -l 72 ${filename-txt}" is used to execute the stegsnow tool with specific options and arguments. Let's break it down:
- "stegsnow" is the name of the executable program or command. It is a steganography tool used to hide or reveal messages inside ASCII text files.
- "-S" is an option/flag that sets the mode of operation to "stego" (for hiding messages in files).
- "-l 72" is another option that specifies the maximum length of the hidden message. In this case, the maximum length is set to 72 characters.
- "${filename-txt}" is a variable/placeholder that is supposed to be replaced with the actual name of a text file. The file should have a ".txt" extension. The command will then use this file as the carrier to hide or extract a message.
In summary, this command runs the stegsnow tool in stego mode with a maximum message length of 72 characters, using the specified text file as the carrier for hiding or extracting a message.
