Steganography Lab Practice
- The lab practice instructions were decrypted in the following
file ForensicsLabPractice.doc.isc
- Save this file to your desktop
- Decrypt the following file that was encrypted with Invisible
Secrets software using AES encryption algorithm. In order to find the
password for decryption you need to decrypt the word RZPEDYBO that was
encrypted by Shift Cipher with Multiply 5 and Add 7
- After decryption, you would be able to open the file and read the
message.
- Follow instructions that you just read to find the treasure.
- You would need to use an additional file picture.bmp to find a
treasure
