Guide Hide your files in jpeg image!

I searched the forum and got no similar result. So, I am sharing this trick that I found over facebook by some of my friend. It can be old trick to some members and new for some.

Yes, as the title of this thread suggests you can hide your secret files inside JPEG images using WinRAR and command line magic!

In this tutorial I'll show you how to hide "secret.txt" in an image called "xtechmaniac.jpg".

Pre-requirements : Only WinRar! :P

1. Place secret.txt and xtechmaniac.jpg in a folder. (say D:\Hiding)
2. Convert secret.txt to secret.rar by using WinRar (Right click on secret.txt > Add to "secret.rar")
3. Open Command Prompt.
4. Go to that specific folder using cd commands. (D:\Hiding in this case)
5. Now type copy /b xtechmaniac.jpg + secret.rar result.jpg
6. You can substitute the name according to your own requirements. This will make a file named result.jpg which will contains both xtechmaniac.jpg and secret.txt
7. Done! Open that folder and you can see a result.jpg file. If you open result.jpg normally you'll see a image but if you open it with Winrar you'll see your hidden file i.e. secret.txt. ;)

I'm attaching a file as an example.

Comments and Reps are always welcomed.. :)

Well if hiding *ahem* is the true motive here .. then try the industry standard encryption utility .. called "truecrypt" ...it is an open source project & works like a drive mounting uility (Smiliar to deamon tools) .. no rarring and un rarring required . Just open truecrypt > select the encrypted file > punch in the password and voila .. you have a new drive in your my computer with your *ahem* on it .. works like a charm ..

Using it for a year now and never felt safer !
