Wait, can you really just look for changes in stats? Sounds too easy!

D seems unreliable, how can you visually verify something hidden?

C is a bit too simplistic, not all stego files have that extension.

I think B could work too, especially for network-based steganography.

Visually verifying files sounds a bit risky; I feel like it could lead to missing hidden data. I think option D might not be the best choice.

I recall that .stg files are often associated with steganography, but I wonder if that's too specific for this question.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about network traffic patterns from a practice question. That might relate to option B, but it feels less relevant here.

I think option A makes sense because analyzing statistics can help identify anomalies in file properties.

Ah, I remember this one. Determining the normal characteristics of the files and network traffic is definitely the way to go. I'll need to be thorough in my analysis.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to analyze the properties of the files and look for any unusual patterns or deviations from the norm. That should give me a good starting point.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we talked about looking for statistical anomalies, but I can't quite remember the details.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different methods we've learned for detecting steganography.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this. Focusing on the statistical and behavioral changes in the files is the best approach when you don't have an original to compare to.

The "Auto-Generate" option sounds like the easier choice, but I wonder if it limits your ability to use an existing ADF page template. That could be an important consideration depending on the project requirements.

I'm not totally confident on this one. I'll need to re-read the question and think it through step-by-step to make sure I'm selecting the right answer.

D is an interesting idea, but visually verifying every suspicious file might be a bit time-consuming, don't you think? Unless you've got superhuman eyesight, that is.

I prefer D) Visually verify the files you suspect to be steganography messages. Sometimes, visual inspection can reveal hidden messages that statistical analysis might miss.

Hah, C is just silly. As if steganography messages would conveniently have a '.stg' extension! That's way too obvious.
