A penetration tester is assessing an organization's susceptibility to information leakage via steganography. The tester suspects that sensitive data might be secreted within ASCII text using whitespace. Which steganography tool would be most appropriate to analyze the texts for hidden messages?
The correct answer is 'Snow,' as this tool is specifically designed for steganography in ASCII text using whitespace. Snow uses whitespace and tabulation characters to hide messages within the text, which would not be discernible at a glance. Other tools like Steghide and Openstego are more commonly used for hiding data in images or audio files, not in ASCII text using whitespace. Coagula is used for sound-based steganography and hence is not the right tool to analyze ASCII text.
