Look What I Found

Fool others by hiding ur secret file in a JPEG


# You will need the following.. Windows 2000 / XP
# Basic Knowledge of the Command Prompt
# WinRar


1. Gather your image and the files you wish to lodge into it. Here I have a meeting.txt which I will hide inside my toshow.jpg.
2. Add the files you want to hide into a new RAR archive. (so meeting.txt.rar created newly)
3. Open Command Prompt and go to the folder where your files are located, e.g., 'C:\hidden'.
5. At command prompt type 'copy /b toshow.jpg + meeting.txt.rar lizard.jpg' (without quotes).
(toshow.jpg is the picture I want to show, meeting.txt.rar is the file to be hidden, and lizard.jpg is the file which contains both.
6. Now test the lizard.jpg by double clicking it, and verifying it still opens.
7. Now try opening that same lizard.jpg file from menu: file->open of WinRar. It will show the original hidden file meeting.txt.

Done !!!!!

Now lizard.jpg is a simple JPEG for others, but it contains a secret file meeting.txt for you !!!!!!!!!

That is quiet cool. Nice find. That might come in handy for "certain" files

thats badass!

 

hehe, i know

 

wow, this wins.

 

So old...... nice for posting it though

 

Or else you could just open the pic in notepad and enter your message at the end of the last line.

 

that wont work, how will you save it then? It will only save as a txt file

 

Saving isn't the problem, but it does corrupt the picture doing it the notepad way

 

good find...good job...

 

I know that it works with some kind of picture without corrupting the image, but it isn't hard to hide files, but if you really want to "hide" it then you just have to get PGP and use your top 3 favourite citats as password, it'll be almost impossible to crack even if the feds try to.

 

You can save, but the picture wont work anymore
