Wait, so you can just change file types? Sounds risky!

I thought it was about encapsulating files for transmission, but that seems more related to network security than anti-forensics.

I feel like it has to do with concealing files in ordinary places, similar to a practice question we did on file obfuscation.

I remember something about hiding files in unused areas, but I can't recall if that's what transmogrify specifically refers to.

I think the transmogrify technique is about changing file headers, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right answer.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on this one. Anti-forensics is not my strongest area. I'll have to guess and hope for the best, but I'm not feeling great about this question.

Okay, I think I know what this is asking about. The "transmogrify" technique is about hiding malicious content within normal-looking files, right? I'm pretty confident option C is the correct answer.

I'm not sure what "transmogrify" means, but the options seem to be describing different ways to hide or disguise malicious files. I'll have to think this through carefully.

D seems the most straightforward. Changing the file header to bypass detection - classic anti-forensics tactic.
