During my Introduction to Digital Forensics course by Security Blue Team, I found it tedious to run `steghide` commands manually for each file and password. To save time, I created this Bash script to streamline the process.\n\nI developed `extract_flags.sh` specifically for the Stenography Activity in the course that required me to try 3 different passwords on 7 files to find the flags.\nThen I realised I would have a more enhanced version so I could use it whenever I felt it would save me more time so I developed `extract_steghide.sh`; which allows users to:\n- Specify the directory containing the files to analyze.\n- Use custom password lists or fallback to default ones.\n- Displays the content of extracted files.\n\n## Features\n1. Batch processing of files in a directory.\n2. Multiple passwords are tried for each file.\n3. Logs the success or failure of extraction attempts.\n4. Displays the content of extracted files automatically.\n\n## Usage\n### Prerequisites\nEnsure `steghide` is installed on your system:\n```bash\nsudo apt install steghide\n\n```\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/N-r0bin/steghide-extractor/blob/main/LICENSE\"\u003eMIT License\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\n## Running the Script:\n#### 1. Clone the repository:\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/N-r0bin/steghide-extractor.git\ncd steghide-extractor-main\n```\n#### 2. Make the script executable:\n```bash\nchmod +x extract_steghide.sh\n\n```\n#### 3. Execute the script:\n- To process files in the current directory with default passwords:\n ```bash\n./extract_steghide.sh .\n```\n- To specify a directory and custom passwords:\n ```bash\n./extract_steghide.sh /path/to/directory \"password1,password2,password3\"\n```\nExample: \n```bash\n./extract_steghide.sh ~/Downloads \"password123,letmein,opensesame\"\n```\n\n### Notes:\n- If no directory is specified, the script will process the current directory (.).\n- If no passwords are specified, it will use the default list: christmastree, darksky123, goldenwatch.\n\n### Screenshots of how I utilized the bash scripts while investigating:\n\n1. I utilized extract_flags.sh in the Steganography Activity:\n\n![1st ectraction](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/07bb32d9-035f-404b-b3dc-e99d62347abd)\n![2nd extraction](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d7a5ca7f-a028-4321-b085-115540ba2ff2)\n![3rdextraction](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d877bfc8-4dae-41c8-acbe-698bcafae1e3)\n\n2.
