The correct answer is D. 75000. This practical question requires using cryptography tools to decode a text file (snitch.txt) and extract a specific financial value for the 'greenfarm project'.
Question
A disgruntled employee transferred highly confidential tender data of upcoming projects as an encoded text. You are assigned to decode the text file snitch.txt located in the Downloads folder of the Attacker Machined and determine the value of the greenfarm project in dollars. Hint 1: All the cryptography tools are located at "Z:\CCT-Tools\CCT Module 14 Cryptography". Hint 2: If required, you can use sniffer@123 as the password to decode the file. (Practical Question)

Why each option
This practical question requires using cryptography tools to decode a text file (`snitch.txt`) and extract a specific financial value for the 'greenfarm project'.
This value is not found in the decoded `snitch.txt` file as the value for the 'greenfarm project'.
This value is not found in the decoded `snitch.txt` file as the value for the 'greenfarm project'.
This value is not found in the decoded `snitch.txt` file as the value for the 'greenfarm project'.
To solve this practical question, one would need to use a cryptography tool from the specified path (`Z:\CCT-Tools\CCT Module 14 Cryptography`) with the password `sniffer@123` to decode the `snitch.txt` file. Once the file is successfully decrypted, its content would reveal that the 'greenfarm project' has a value of `75000` dollars.
