Hiding files in jpg Images – Fun hack!

here is a tutorial on how to hide files in Jpg’s. Please note it isn’t the most secure method, because the information is stored in plain text but it’s still cool to play with. A simple solution to make this more secure, is to use encryption on the RAR file when your create it, but thats not the point of this tutorial :) The idea is to show how files can be ’slammed’ together, to stop the average PC user from finding them.

You will need the following..

  • Windows 2000 / XP (probably Vista, too!)
  • Basic Knowledge of the Command Prompt
  • WinRar

Gather your image and the files you wish to lodge into it. Here I have a meeting.txt which which I will slap inside my secret.jpg

  1. Add the files you want to hide into a new RAR archive
  2. Open Command Prompt
  1. Go to the folder where your files are located, in this case ‘C:\hidden’
  2. Type ‘copy /b secret.jpg + meeting.txt.rar lizard.jpg‘ where secret.jpg is the original picture, meeting.txt.rar is the file to be hidden, and lizard.jpg is the file which contains both.
  3. Test the JPG by opening it, and verifying it still opens. If it does, try opening the file with WinRar
