Steganography not stenography :) So it is A.

This question was on the test. Jan. 24, 2020 The provided answer is correct to the best of my knowledge.

A. Obfuscation means that we take something and make it much more difficult to understand. B. Steganography is a technique for obscuring the presence of a message, often by embedding information within a file or other entity. SO, steganography is the answer The message was embedded in the email’s attachment

This is too much

the question asks for the type of message not the method. So I think the provided answer is right; the message is obfuscated.

stenography

Steganography is the technique of hiding secret data within an ordinary, non-secret, file or message in order to avoid detection. That has to be it.

Comptia are tricky, but NOT AS MUCH AS THIS!!! This is a TYPO and in the exam you will see STAGANOGRAPHY as the answer. This is also the right answer. Steganography - hiding a message in a file. Supports this scenario and is the correct answer. Obfuscation - Changing the content of the message. If you can see this in the question you should take a reading class before sitting this exam.

this message is obfuscated and the tactic used was steganography

As per professor Messer, he says that " One type of obfuscation that works with images is called steganography, where you’re hiding information within a picture." As per this the question does not mention that there is a image so it would make sense to go with Obfuscation.

omg! thanks to bmj , i did not see it is STENO-GRAPHY and not STEGANO-GRAPHY. both are way different.

I had this question on my exam (Dec 2020) and can confirm that on the REAL EXAM, B is steganography NOT stenography. I selected B steganography and according to my post exam report I didn't get any questions from the cryptography section wrong. (steganography falls under 6.1 according to official exam objectives) Remember, on the real exam there won't be typos.

Answer is correct. Its a trick question guys. "STENOGRAPHY" is not the correct word. Stenography: the action or process of writing in shorthand or taking dictation. Steganography: the practice of concealing messages or information within other nonsecret text or data.

They are not talking about an image, but rather an embedded message. "The process of obfuscation is when you take one topic, and you make it much more complex to understand. ... One type of obfuscation that works with images is called steganography, where you are hiding information within a picture."

steganography is hiding something inside of an image. The question her doesnt say anything is being hidden in an image it says "embedded message"

stenography = shorthand, it is different from steganography

This question was on my exam (5 Aug 2020). I chose A.
