The command you provided uses the tool "stegsnow" to perform some actions on different text files.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • stegsnow: This is the name of the command-line tool we are using.
  • -C: This flag is used to specify that we want to decode a hidden message from the given files.
  • -f '${path-to-message-txt}': This option is used to specify the path to the text file containing the hidden message. You should replace ${path-to-message-txt} with the actual path to the file you want to use. The file should contain the hidden message that you want to extract.
  • ${filename-txt}: This is the path to the text file that contains the carrier file. The carrier file is the file in which the hidden message is embedded. You should replace ${filename-txt} with the actual name of the carrier file.
  • ${path-to-result-txt}: This is the path where the result of decoding the hidden message will be saved. Replace ${path-to-result-txt} with the actual path where you want to save the result.
