analyze the two files tolstoy-war-and-peace.txt and tolstoy-war-and-peace-augmented.txt in unix.

While they appear superficially to be the same text file, one of the two files has a hidden message in it. It's recommended to use both a diff and a xxd of both files in order to gain a more exact understanding of the files. There are two programs on the 45.56.74.139 server that might help you: steghide and snow. One of these two programs was used to put a hidden message in the file. Extract the cleartext of the hidden message (the cleartext message is in English)

Here I have used snow -c tolstoy-war-and-peace-argumented.txt output.txt to get this encrypted text.

How would I be able to turn this encrypted text into English cleartext?
