Our university organizes a CTF competition every year. This year in the field of forensics, the task was to find the metadata hidden in the .txt file. exiftool, which I usually use did not return any results. Does anyone have any suggesstion of which tool I could use?

AFAIK, a text file doesn't contain other metadata besides the usual file system information (owner, created and modified timestamps, group, size, name, etc). EXIF is used in image/media files. – gru Jan 29 '22 at 22:06

@gru Yeah that's what i was assuming but inside the file this is the text: _Steganography is the practice of hiding a secret message inside of (or even on top of) something that is not secret. In this case message is hidden in this simple .txt file alone. :) Can you find it?_ – Jan Zajc Feb 05 '22 at 10:50
