An art of disguise, security, secret keeping, or a practice of concealing a secret message, a file, image, or video within another file, message, image, or video.
It shares similarity with cryptography but have a very strong advantage that it does not attract attention to itself as an object of security.
So today I'm going to show you a simple example of doing this for personal affairs so you can transfer messages or anything which you don't want other people to see except the one you are going to send the file. It doesn't require some special knowledge, just follow the steps and you will get the desired results.
Here I'll show hoe to hide a text file behind an image.
Steps are as follows:-
1. go to start and search CMD, right click it and open its location or you can directly find it here "C:\windows\system32". And keep one image, behind which you want to hide text file, and one text file, the message you want to hide.
2.Now copy it from its location to the folder where you have kept the image and text message file ready
3. Now start the CMD and type in the command
.....>copy/b imagename.jpg+text filename.txt
and click enter, you should get this message.
4. Now open the image file with the help of notepad and it will show you your hidden message
now you can see your message at the bottom of the file.
5.Now sometimes it happens that some files wont work or require some software like a matlab file or something else, for that you can make zip file of those files you want to send, like I'm going to transfer a music file through image,
Select the Zip format, although you can keep it in RAR format too
6. Now again go to CMD and again execute the same command, but this time we will hide zip file behind the image
7. Now open WINRAR and extract the image file anywhere you will get back the hidden file in zip, like the music file here
The file will be present in the new folder created by the WINRAR
now have fun in exchanging your secret messages freely no one can detect them only the one can see whom you send the message image
enjoy.... ;)
