Damn. I saw a good presentation from some hacker con on just this subject a few years ago. It was on non cryptographic means of hiding data from law enforcement. It also mentioned soldering flash memory directly to the USB hub on the Mobo, because it's not often they do a thourough physical inspection. I can't find the damn talk on YouTube now. I remember it was given by some skinny dude that was drinking beer during the whole talk and was fairly drunk by the end. I don't remember what con it was, though.
Hidden copy of windows 3.1
I tried this yesterday and it worked, but now all I'm getting is a 30 KB image. Did it get purged or something?
Images get stripped after a while on infinitychan. Like exif and non-image data.
How the fuck do you hide files in jpgs? That's the bullshit. Why is it even possible to do so?
It’s not exactly steganography, it’s a polyglot file.
It's easy and how do you think a viruses are spread People hide shit in images all the time Why do you think your email client tries to block remote content such as images by default
privacy
security
Viruses spread through buffer overflows and shit like that, that's not what OP did which is hide a file in a legit image that actually renders and can apparently also be opened with .rar software.
that remote content could be something that exploits a vulnerability in the image libraries. some of those get updates almost every day because theres always some bug in them.
Sigh... another piece random piece of shitware I have to write.
Big Question here: wouldn't the filesize for most of this hidden stuff be unreasonably bloated? Just like the OP here, all the pictures have file sizes that are waaay larger than what you'd expect a picture like that to be. With a gif or webm I can kinda understand but wouldn't it be a huge red flag otherwise? Or is there ways to hide that too?
