Let's use the `strings` utility to extract the strings in the image file.
```
$ strings Minions1.jpeg | head

```
The `steghide` utility allows users to extract data from image and audio files.
```
$ steghide extract -sf Minions1.jpeg
Enter passphrase:
wrote extracted data to "raw.txt".
```
* We can now use the `cat` command to view the contents of the extracted file.
```
$ cat raw.txt

```
* That looks like it is encrypted using Base64. Let's decode it using [CyberChef](https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/).
