A long time ago someone from my discord server posted an image that said if you changed the .png to a .mp3 it would play music, being skeptical I did what the picture had said and to my surprise it had worked flawlessly. I am wondering how they were able to combine both a png and mp3 together as I am unable to find any information about changing the file extension to attach an mp3 to a png
@@karim1485 Believe me I wish I did, I was spending all of last night looking literally through thousands of images from my discord server unfortunately I was unable to locate the image, if it turns up I will be sure to share. Edit: I found it (I think) cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/359816093742792704/541723873130053650/guess_what.jpg except you have to open the song in VLC player :/
great video, although a sidenote - this doesn't have to be Kali linux at all. you can do it on any distro and as a matter of fact can be easily done on a RPI. just apt install steghide. this is also a great way of hiding stuff that you (I) always forget in things like public images just to be able to retrieve them later at some point when you forget them. Nobody would suspect a random picture on your insta to contain vital information
i hid a bitcoin wallet address in a doom map 2 years ago :P the one place no one would ever suspect. or be able to figure out even if they did, because even if you had the map it was pretty much impossible to figure out because it was hidden in the X coordinates of vertexes along a specific wall and you needed a separate lookup table to make sense of it (that was hidden in a texture i used in the map), even if you knew that the message was there in the first place, which you wouldn't because there's literally no signs of it. then i realized that wallet wasn't worth that much security and just dropped it. i wasted so much time doing that, lol. also the wallet is empty now.
Sounds like me. Have a hell of a secure hardware doge wallet thats on an RSA 4096 encrypted flash drive that I have hidden in a normal looking money box in a hidden compartment and stashed behind a loose brick in a waterproof bag. Its worth 23 quid.
There is a way to hide larger files (up to like 20 MB or something) in audio as long as the audio is stored in lossless codec (ape or flac) format... The software called deepsound and it's pretty cool If you want to do image steganography on Windows you can use the Java based application called openstego
@11:35 there is two very noticeable things about the image than just the file size. It's pretty easy to see the image colors are degraded when compared together. also I just want to point out a couple other things here, Steghide is the backend, but there's also Stegosuite which gives you a GUI frontend of Steghide which makes it all the more easier for people who aren't use to using command line stuff. It is however limited to using certain images when hiding files such as BMP, GIF, PNG, and JPEG. -- Also one other tool to the Steganography set of tools is Stegsnow, stegsnow is a whitespace steganography program which appends hidden secret messages in text files in the form of tabs and spaces to the end of a file.
The encryption method of the image is quite high and perfect if you want to "conveniently" transfer files between pcs and have programming fun at the same time!
Around 14:25 presenter suggests data is hidden in areas where image has lots of details, like in cat's whiskers, but that's not necessarily the case as JPG images are typically compressed when saved. Different compression levels mean different changes to images. So for example when image A is saved with milder compression than image B, then that causes differences.
not directly embedding but you can "hide" data "in" images using the dos copy command in cmd. creates a non-compressed zip with the image as its front disguise. navigate to folder then copy /b [file1.jpg] + [file2.random] [output].jpg
I remember in the XP days that my printer software was always running, I found that it was always sending log files, I opened one with text editor and found a bunch of code "ramdom characters"but then I found names of software installed on the computer and websites I had visited!
As far as this goes... You could have hide your entire diary on the very fotograms of this video... An a testament on its sound file.. quite clever! Jajajq love the video, you rock!!! thank you so much!
Just put al, the stuff into a folder, then zip it and rename the extension so your pc thinks it is another file type. Try renaming it to a dll file and make the whole file name sound convincingly like a system file. Then send the person a video game and put your secret file in the game folder. Only they will know how to open it. This is more effective if you zip it to 7z or another format in case someone already knows this trick
some files like someone else said, are available to the public and thus you can compare it not only but the size but if ur like me, can see minor changes. EG: if you look at the side of the head then there is a minor little difference in color. idk if anyone else can see this but I can. I looked hard but it was easy. Edit: just saw later in the video but ehh who really cared
An easier way to do this without needing a VM or Knowledge in Linux or Kali is to simply download the compression tool called 7z. Bellow are the steps: 1) The first thing you will need to do is create the file you want to hide in your image file. This can be done from 7z. Create a compressed file with all your files inside (Password optional). 2) Use the windows command prompt and Type "CD FolderLocation" 3) Use the windows command prompt and Type "COPY /B Image.jpg + HideMe.7z Output.Jpg" And there you go, Output.Jpg now contains your hidden files. If you want to extract these files you can use the 7z.exe command line. Bellow are the steps: 1) Open Notepad 2) Type the following into the NotePad --> C:\Path\7z.exe e -y Output.Jpg -o"%~dp0" -p"Password" 3) Save as an .bat and run. And there we have it. A much more simple and easier way to do exactly what was done in the video without a VM or Linux.
I just ran across your channel. All the stuff is so interesting to hear about, and you explain everything well so that even I can understand it Subscribed.
There is a way to detect it with the first example if you have the image side by side. The colours on the steg'd image are a bit more faded (notice box and the colours on the steg'd image compared to the ref image) but again, people wont know if it is steg'd if they dont have the ref image
I think your image pixel comparison part is fool. These dots on the edges are due to cosine fourier transform used in JPEG compression data is not saved at the edges. Data is saves somewhere else but that storage effect the CFT calculation.
11:44 If you look closely at the two images, the colour in the image on the right has a slightly different registration to the one on the left: it's so very slightly lighter. I guess this is as a result of the embedding process.
You can do something similar in windows: you have a.jpg and b.rar, you run: "copy /b a.jpg + b.rar c.jpg" and you got c.jpg which is a working image, but if you open it with an archive program like winrar you can see files in it. This is the binary copy It isn't encrypted it just copy them to one file.
When you first made the image and said 'and there's nothing discernable between the original and the new, except for the file size' Am I the only one who noticed a slight difference in darkness on the left side of the image? Specifically the cats shadow, and the cardboard coloring, or am I tripping?
Very cool indeed. Hiding it in one of the channels is a good technique. I wonder if it would work for other formats and not just RGB - YBR or monochrome. Or if compressing it and decompressing will result in the same data
No, no, no! In Windows: Get fluffy cat pic and call it a.jpg Get file to hide and call it anything that appears later in the alphabet Create a zip file with both that uses no compression Rename the zip file 'fluffy cat.jpg' You now have a jpeg with a file attached, Windows and Mac both see it as a jpeg as there is no compression. Very old trick however all these things come undone when a VGA res jpeg is a megabyte or more!
you can do it natively on windows cmd o3o just zip the hiddenfile.txt and make sure you zip it with password then make a binary copy: copy /B innocentimage.jpg + hiddenmessageziped.zip output.jpg and voila! same thing, then all you have to do is unzip the output.jpg file which of course will require the password
This is a great way to protect your artworks when you post them only. Like if someone steals it you can sue the person for. And they say nope I made it first, then you can pull this on them and the court will agree wouldnt they?
Quite an interesting video. I stumbled upon this while researching methods to share secret information. I find it really amazing that data can be embedded in images this way. So, if an original image is used and ONLY shared between those with agreed access, would this method make unauthorized access to the secret data impossible?
I have made a python script similar last years (for a personal project ). I could only hide text on the image by converting it to ascii and writing pixel by pixel the text ( if I encouter a 1 in the ascii then I rise the RGB value of a pixel by 1else i do nothing ). And to decript the message, the original image was needed in addition to the one with the message in it, by comparing them i could retrive the hidden text Hope that make sense
if you want to hide your bitcoin secret keys in the image you would be better of writing your own steganography program as you can use a custom layout of data in a file, it's really not that hard, (I wrote one in c++ in about 300-400 lines of code, and I'm only 16 so yeah...)
legitimate question, can you embed an already embedded picture into the "vessel" file, and if so how many times can you do this before the original image just becomes unrecognizable? For example, take a picture embed a copy of the picture into itself, then embed that into a copy of the original and so on and so forth.
What happens if you crop the picture? Wil you be able decrypt the remaining info in the embedded file? And BTW there is a Channel interfering your sound Channel playing annoying Music.
Hi, 2 little questions : can we transfer this image to an externe hard drive and will It still have the hidden file in it ? And is it possible to make all of this on macOS ?
What is the name of this background music? I did find it before, but it has vocals in it. I'd love to have this instrumental version only, sounds really fun in my opinion. :)
steghide: could not extract any data with that passphrase! even though i typed the passphrase correctly the picture was sent already and i just downloaded it and tried to extract but this came out
