Question

remove the original file email addresses. (review your commands table if necessary.) confirm that the remaining file is the one that was generated by gpg. what is the file extension?

Answer 1

To confirm a file as generated by GPG after removing the original, look for a .gpg or .asc file extension, which are standard for GPG-encrypted files.

Step-by-step explanation:

To confirm that the remaining file is indeed the one generated by GPG (GNU Privacy Guard), you would typically look for a file extension specific to GPG-encrypted files. When GPG encrypts files, it commonly uses the .gpg or .asc file extensions, with .gpg being used for binary files and .asc indicating an ASCII-armored file. However, the file extension may vary if a different convention was used during encryption. After removing the original file containing email addresses, you can use a file listing command relevant to your operating system to ensure that the file with the expected GPG file extension is present.
