GSLC · Question #167

Which of the following tools can be used to detect the steganography?

The correct answer is C. Dskprobe. Blindside, ImageHide, and Snow are steganography embedding tools used to hide data, while Dskprobe is a disk examination utility used for forensic inspection rather than data concealment.

Why each option

Blindside, ImageHide, and Snow are steganography embedding tools used to hide data, while Dskprobe is a disk examination utility used for forensic inspection rather than data concealment.

ABlindside

Blindside is a steganography embedding tool used to hide data inside BMP image files, making it a concealment tool rather than a detection or analysis tool.

BImageHide

ImageHide is a steganography tool designed to hide arbitrary data within image files, functioning as a data-hiding application rather than a steganalysis or detection utility.

CDskprobeCorrect

Dskprobe is a Windows disk sector editor and forensic examination tool that reads raw sector data, making it applicable for detecting anomalies or hidden content that steganography tools may store outside normal file system structures. The other three options - Blindside, ImageHide, and Snow - are all tools designed to embed hidden data into carrier files, not to detect it.

DSnow

Snow is a whitespace steganography tool that conceals data by appending tab and space characters to lines of text, making it a hiding tool rather than a detection tool.
