Which tool is described as a metadata extraction tool?

• A. Metagoofil
• B. WebSite-Watcher
• C. Exiftool
• D. Clicky

Answer: (C)

Metadata extraction centers on pulling information embedded in files. ExifTool is a cross-platform command-line utility designed to read (and also write) metadata from a huge range of file formats, including images, audio, video, PDFs, and more. It can extract EXIF data such as camera model, timestamp, GPS coordinates, as well as IPTC and XMP metadata, making it the go-to tool for retrieving embedded information. The others don’t fit as well: one is primarily a site-monitoring utility, another a web analytics service, and the last focuses on harvesting metadata from publicly available documents on websites rather than serving as a general metadata extractor.
