Hello, I have been working with the computers for the last 15 years, but you taught me things that I would have never imagined. Hats off to you… Keep up the good work.

I agree with Gorby, hiding files inside pictures is not really a great way to hide stuff. Yes, most non-techie people will never be able to find it, but anyone with some skills could easily extract the files from the images.

This is NOT an awesome trick and is a lame brained attempt to hide files from, say, the cops or any computer security types, such as Joe Blow down at Compu Shack. Might keep them from prying eyes at home tho.

Just use Truecrypt and you are done. If you are serious about them never being found by anyone ever, then read the tips from Truecrypt RE Plausible Deniability

I’ve got problem with WindowsRar and the .rar format but I packed Hide.rar in the .jpg and renamed it to .7z and it work like a charm!

This is a good idea. I have another, this only works in windows. First, in windows go to ubuntu.com and download the iso. after it is done downloading, burn it to cd at the lowest burn speed. after it is done, restart the computer with the newly burned disk in the drive. Right at POST press to bring up the boot manager select the cd drive. at the next screen just press twice.

Once you are in linux, mount the drive with your hidden files on it. Go to the folder called: System Volume Information, and make a new folder called hidden. go to where your files and press and go back to your hidden folder and press . Restart the computer with the disk put away in a safe place, and try to open the System Volume Information folder in windows, guess what? You can’t!

The folder has the file record on it. As long as you don’t mess with any files other than your own in that folder, your files will be uncorrupted. Don’t let anybody use the disk that you made, though because it has the power to look at the files that you want hidden.

Its a great trick…!!!

This can be used to attach EXE files hidden behind an image and then send it via GMAIL… which don’t allow sending of EXE files through the mail!!

if worried about file size, you could always hide the file in a working photoshop pic/file which would account for having a lager file size

Great suggestions and examples, especially for a newbie like myself who lacks a natural sense of web design.
