I am trying to get data from an image, but first I want to check if the image is actually containts data. I tried to user 'steghide' to extract data from it but i got this error :

steghide: the file format of the file "Summmmmmmer.jpg" is not supported

This is the command i was using :

$ steghide extract -sf Summmmmmmer.jpg  -p <password> -xf result.txt

This is the file itself :

(Postscript) I also tried to use Summmmmmmer.png, It didn't worked too.
Thanks for help !

What's the _actual_ format of those files? Sure it claims to be a .jpg file, but does it actually have JPEG data inside? Run `file Summer.jpg` and check. – u1686_grawity Feb 21 '22 at 15:32
