I thought tunneling was more common for this kind of thing?

Definitely obfuscation, those patterns are a giveaway.

I recall that tunneling is more about creating secure connections, so I don't think that's it. It has to be either obfuscation or steganography.

I feel like steganography is definitely a possibility since it involves hiding files within other files, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I think this question is similar to one we practiced on obfuscation techniques. Could it be that?

I remember studying about how repetitive patterns can be a sign of steganography, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right answer here.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The options seem pretty technical, and I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between them. I'll have to review my notes and try to figure out which one fits best with the details provided.

Okay, I've got this. The repetitive patterns in the images are a dead giveaway that steganography was used to hide the malicious files. That's definitely the right answer here.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The question mentions "anti-forensic technique," so I'm wondering if it could be something like obfuscation or tunneling instead of steganography. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This one seems tricky, but I think I can figure it out. The key is to focus on the repetitive patterns in the images - that's a pretty clear sign of steganography.

D, definitely D. Steganography is the way to go when you want to hide your tracks and leave no trace behind.

Tunneling, all the way! Sneaking those files through the network like a secret agent, that's what I call some serious hacking skills.

Obfuscation could also have been used to make the files harder to detect.
