A really shocking news for me , when
i heard that Terrorists in the attack of 9/11 used "STEGANOGRAPY" for
communication , scanners in the World Trade Center couldn't identify this
method before the attack , but it was discovered in the post investigation of
the attack.
I intentionally have no wrong purpose while writing
the post , i am writing this only for educational purpose , if some people can
use this type of tricks for a big threat to societies , then why can't we use
these methods to prevent ourselves or to protect the society ?? This question
always arise in my mind ,
we have to discover something new to give a strong slap to these people .
we have to discover something new to give a strong slap to these people .
So now i should move to the main technical stuff.
Steganography is art
and science of hiding facts behind a false or useless but interesting element.
In this process no one other than the sender and the and the recipient can view
this. Cryptography is combined with steganography just for the reason that, if
also the message is discovered it cannot be read. The main difference lies in
the existence of cryptography and steganography
In Cryptography one
can know that a message is encrypted. But in Steganography one cannot know or
observe about it simply because its hidden behind an image, video or an audio
etc… which without keen observation might go without any suspicion.
Following is the trick how to use it.
- Open Command Prompt or Go to Start > Run, type cmd.
- Now type copy /B original.jpg + archive.rar new.jpg
- If you open new.jpg with some picture viewer it will be a normal image, but when you open it with WinRAR for example it`ll show you the contents of archive.rar. It will also work with different types of files.
