stegsnow: Extract [C]ompressed and [p]assword protected [m]essage from file.
$ stegsnow -C -p ${password} ${filename-txt}
try on your machine

The command "stegsnow -C -p ${password} ${filename-txt}" is a command line instruction that uses the stegsnow utility to extract hidden information from a file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "stegsnow" is the name of the utility or program being executed.
  • "-C" is a flag or option that specifies the extraction mode, indicating that the hidden information should be revealed.
  • "-p ${password}" is another flag or option that specifies the password needed to decrypt the hidden information. The "${password}" is a placeholder for an actual password that you need to provide.
  • "${filename-txt}" indicates the name of the file from which the hidden information will be extracted. The "${filename-txt}" is also a placeholder for an actual filename with a .txt extension that you have to replace.

In summary, this command executes stegsnow in extraction mode (-C) with a specified password (-p) to decrypt hidden information from a given text file (${filename-txt}). Make sure to substitute the placeholders with actual values before using the command.
