Hide Files in Jpeg images.

[shady_inc]

We will hide a text file called "code.txt" in an image called "nirvana.jpg".You need to have Winrar for this.So here goes....

1)Move both code.txt and nirvana.jpg to a new folder(say C:\New)

2)Add code.txt to a new rar archive called code.rar in the same folder,(C:\New in our example).

3)Now go to Start -> Run..., type cmd and press Enter.

4)Go to the folder where your files are located,(C:\New in our example).by using cd.. command.(use cd.. command to go one level up).

5)Now type "copy /b nirvana.jpg + code.rar secret.jpg"(without quotes) where secret.jpg is the file name u want to give to image that contains both nirvana.jpg and code.txt.

Congrats!!You are almost done with it now:p .

6)If you open secret.jpg,you will see the original image(nirvana.jpg).Open secret.jpg with Winrar and you will see your hidden file(code.txt)

That's the end of the tutorial.Amen.:)

[casanova]

Very nice tut. Thx for sharing

[Pathik]

great method.. But wats the principle behind it?

[Lucky_star]

nice find!
Absolutely any compressed data is getting hidden behind the image.

[Pathik]

hey i just tested it... this works also if u use a video or audio file instead of an image...
also copy /b 1.x + 2.rar 3.z copies the binary values of 1 and 2 and posts them in 3..
also if u do 1.rar + 2.x then 3 wont open at all...

Thnx for appreciation...:)
You can also binary copy any file just the same way as pathiks said.So the code copy /b nirvana.jpg + code.mp3 secret.jpgwill hide the mp3 in secret.jpg.Now open the image to view it normally,and open the same image in your mp3 player to play the music.

[sanju]

nice info

[gagandeep]

great method.. But wats the principle behind it?
Bump.......
I thought of posting the principle behind this.

RAR format doesn't read the data which is before its header/starting point and image editing/reading softwares ignore the data which is after the end of the image.:D

[Pathik]

That is not the principle man. That is what one would normally think of.

[gagandeep]

That is not the principle man. That is what one would normally think of.
See this:

RAR files can be embedded in other file types, probably the most common being JPEG. Image handling programs, browsers, and other utilities usually ignore any additional data after the end of the image, while RAR ignores anything before the RAR header. The procedure to create such a file is to append a RAR file to a JPEG. (e.g.: in DOS/Windows command-line: copy /b image1.jpg+something.rar image2.jpg, in UNIX: cat image1.jpg something.rar >> image2.jpg)
