Options
- ASteganography
- BWeb password cracking

Explanation
OutGuess is an open-source steganography tool used to conceal hidden messages inside image files without visibly altering the carrier image.
Common mistakes.
- B. Web password cracking uses tools such as Hydra or Burp Suite to brute-force or guess login credentials, which is an entirely different attack category from data hiding.
- C. SQL injection exploits improper input validation in database-driven applications to manipulate queries, with no relation to steganographic data concealment.
- D. Man-in-the-middle attacks intercept and potentially modify communications between two parties in transit, which is unrelated to the offline data-hiding purpose of OutGuess.
