This software implements LSB Steganography password protect, as described and demonstrated in the link above, and in addition, message encryption. This way a user can encrypt their hidden message using Fernet, with a passphrase.
Use the strings command again, but specify the encoding option strings data01 -e {b,l}. Remember when the "test" file was deleted? The rm command was used, not shred. The file name data still resides in the file table and is recoverable because of this.
This software will gather notepad.exe tab cache data and print it to standard output in json format. Notepad keeps a cache of open tabs, meaning it remembers which files or documents you have open in the editor even if you close Notepad and reopen it later.

According to the National Institute for Standards and Technology, “Studies have shown that most of today’s media can be effectively cleared by one overwrite.”
