In this puzzle box we'll be using tools such as stegsnow, to find hidden data in files, and other useful tools such as cut, paste, and tac to assemble our ASCII image results with the correct orientation.

The first thing we want to do as always is investigate the files we received from /var/public/fall2024/unix/tpb1. We can do so using the file command. We should investigate all of the files we received if we want to be thorough. We should have two files, a README and a text file of some sort. An example might be iliad.txt

• file(1) - determine file type
• head(1) - output the first part of files
• rev(1) - reverse lines characterwise
• stegsnow(1) - hides or reveals messages within trailing spaces of ASCII text that may or may not be encrypted
• tac(1) - reverses the order of lines in a file, delimited by newline characters by default (this can be changed with the -s option)
