| Video Description http://youtube.jimmyr.com/ to request tutorials Learn to hide any file(s) inside a regular jpg image. Simple quick trick. Free Compression software I used http://www.7-zip.org/ This works by copying the compressed file in binary mode onto the end of the jpeg images. When the picture is opened, the jpg header says the length of the data and ignores everything below (the hidden zip file). When the compression software like 7-zip opens the picture it looks for compatible compression headers and starts reading the file where-ever those begin. |

jimmyrcom: Dunno how it is now, but teachers used to scan our disks and zip drives to make sure we didn't have games or anything else. now they probably use flash drives. It was useful to me because I could use putty.exe to connect to my site and fix / mess with stuff while in the library. They didn't let us download / have executables.jimmyrcom: haha I thought this would be another I HAVE LINUX DAMN YOU comment. Linux "chowns" though, can just chmod and change the extension. Switch the keyboard to dvorak mode and no one will mess with your computer without going insane.
greenhippo33: This is awsome ........ really awsome i gonna have to try this
yigit2681: thxs for the info, could you explain what all that hex stuff is in another video
devinelogic: Very cool, you continue to amaze. Thanks jimmy.
RichJohnson06: Oh cool this is great. I gotta try it out! lol
rm8405: very nice.. thank you very much for this video
MrJunoBeach: Another very clever and well made tutorial.
Thanks.
ilovemiamiheat: what are you using vista or xp?
76ers: Schweet. Tried it and noticed that the order matters on the command prompt for the final pic to display. As in...
INCORRECT:
C:> COPY /B otherFiles.zip + myPicture.jpg secret.jpg
CORRECT WAY:
C:> COPY /B myPicture.jpg + otherFiles.zip secret.jpg
jimmyrcom: _Yes_. It's literally attaching the files together in that order. Image viewers will read only the top of the binary and if it's not an image header it won't try and read it. Compression software has something built in that *searches* for the headers, which is useful for extracting files from setup.exe style executables.
raulbot: how come mine wont extract it after i hide it.
jimmyrcom: make sure image name is first in the special code, if all else fails try making sure it's a jpg and use 7-zip
raulbot: it will open it,but only in 7-Zip file manager, i cant right click it..
billchenxi: Cool. but can you tell me how do you know that? Where do you learn that?
KevinDanielAllen: If you wanna be paranoid, encrypt the files using the AES-256 algorithm. (GnuPG or PGP). But you're a real paranoid, use truly random data and a one-time pad technique. Just kidding :P
lighteelco: So whats the point of it? What can you furthur do? ¬¬
lanswipe: why doesnt it works for me? when i try to do it it just says cannot find the file specified. I am running vista btw Home Premium does this make any difference to the needed code?
jimmyrcom: If you're using vista get used to things not working. I had to delete Vista home premium off my laptop and install XP Home because of all the disgusting glitches. It's slower than XP, more incompatible, and more nagging, but it looks pretty =D.
lanswipe: i disagree i havent had any problems with vista but thats not what i wanted to know what i wanted to know is why wont it work for me and if the answer is because im running vista then why is ur video called
"Windows - Howto Hide Files inside JPGs -tweak hack xp vista"
jimmyrcom: You didn't mention what step it didn't work at all you mentioned is you have vista.
"when I try to do it"
it = do what? Which step? Clicking what? where????
Don't expect answers with grossly general questions.
lanswipe: lol sry ur rite i forgot that ok the part i have problems with is when u do the thing in command prompt it doesnt work unless i call the final file secret it just says The System Cannot Find The File Specified
jimmyrcom: mmm type dir and it'll list the contents of that folder. You're probably in the wrong folder if it says "Cannot Find The File Specified" =P. Either that or you misspelled the filename
tivertsi: hey, nice video... intresting... always wanted to know :) now post a video on how to find if the pic is secret or normal hahah tho not by the size....
LexManSubs: ok, so i guess winrar and winzip cant extract the .jpg files... Is there a way for it to automatically extract the files apon opening the picture?
jimmyrcom: works fine with winrar. I don't have winzip. 2. no, that sounds like evil intentions too =P
andric1: I use WinXP
I made a folder C:\x\
In this folder was this: C:\x\cow.jpg and C:\x\x.rar
I open cmd.exe
I write cd\
I write cd x\
I write COPY /B cow.jpg + x.rar end.jpg
The system cant find the files(Free translation, Im from Austria)
jimmyrcom: I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Try COPY /B C:\x\cow.jpg + C:\x\x.rar C:\x\end.jpg . Maybe copy is for some reason using it's own path in windows\system32 rather than the current directory in dos
SixthTech: great find!
love your work so far
keep it up!
biantai888: At the end of the video, you deleted six bytes, not three, correct? If you do this, and then COPY /B the files, the extractor will not be able to extract the archive unless you replace those bytes, correct? I got a "bad Zip file offset (Error local signature header not found)" when I tried to extract a zip file in which I removed the first six bytes.
jimmyrcom: Paranoid Hide
Delete the first any amount of bytes then copy them to a text file and encrypt them if you want. I don't know how long the file headers are for compressed files. remove the archive extension. then archive the text and the extensionless archive into a new archive and merge that with the image.
.
to restore extract the image to get the extensionless archive and the text that contains the file header. Add the extension and the first few bytes back.
jimmyrcom: removing the archive extension and the beginning file headers make it nearly impossible to guess what type of file it is so if you use something uncommon like winace or 7z to compress it'll be nearly impossible for someone to figure out how to make the file usable.
biantai888: I believe an expert could determine the compression method because of the little shorthand tricks each one uses to shrink repeated bytes. I could be wrong though . . . I am not an expert.
jimmyrcom: they'd have to analyze compression types first lol. It'd be easier for them to just test each header. They'd have to be smart enough to add the header back. You have like a 1 in 500 million chance of having someone competent enough to figure everything out on their own AND notice the file headers are missing and take the trouble to extract it and guess headers.
biantai888: I try to never underestimate anyone. I saw a mere tech support rep analyzing a corrupted file header to see if he could fix it. Besides, the people who really care what you see are in the government and they have very competent people.
biantai888: Also, it is possible to analyze this file to see that there is extra data after the end of the JPEG image. There are easier and more effective steganography methods. This method keeps the image completely intact, though.
Excellent tutorial, by the way!
WhatMACHI: Very nice video. Well explained too!
ForgivenForSure: YOU ROCK, JIMMY! Awesome! Crazy!
charmediscool3: does anyone know why 7-zip might not work? i get "...is not supported archive" and i followed the steps exactly. i even did it again with different files...i don't know what could be wrong?!
jimmyrcom: make sure you write the jpg first blah.jpg + blah.7z
charmediscool3: hmmm...i don't know...i reinstalled ultimatezip (.com) instead of using 7 (which i tried) and it worked this time (but wouldn't before...which is why i used 7)...
anyway..thanks for your help.
haranhockey: wats 7-zip. where can i downlaod it. So basically, wat are all the things i need to do this. i have windows 98.
jimmyrcom: ask google. omg you need firefox it has a built-in spell check.
laughinsilence: how do i make a backslach? my keyboard only has /
caveman314: look right below the backspace key.
mubaris: dude look ur keep board properly . in between equals sign and backspace
haranhockey: nvm. i download 7-zip and thist thing actually worked:D Maybe you should also put that this works for windows 98
fivebucks: This is really cool dude. People will be wondering where I take those terabyte pics
sintakz: This isn't working on my box. I tried but it just keeps saying that the archive type is unsupported.
Fr3c: When i use the copycommand in cmd and press enter it comes up: wrong command-something-something
Fr3c: Yaay!! I made it!
Thank you so much!!
Great tutorial!!
Winnn23: Hi there
Great tutorial.. but can you put password into a zip file? I think you can can't you?
Daco65: hahahaahaha, you are funny man
but nice tutorial =)
JettingSpike: Oh noes, u is hide ur 0 KB filez!!1
Thanks for the post!
And to Winnn23 with some software you can password protect zip and other compression files, but the reasoning behind this foolery is not only to keep people out, but to make people believe that there is nothing that you are trying to hide to begin with.
IAmPie: This does work, I use a similar trick in a live-action/computer game I'm working on.
It's a list of cryptic clues, links, fake things, pictures, etc.
First person to figure it out gets a very rare prize.
gordo151091: it didnt work for me with winrar what happend?
Menox13: the problem with winrar is you can just extract it u need to open with file. right click the .jpg and go to open with. browse for winrar. there will be your files
Menox13: thanx man this is an easy tutorrial. i figured it out in seconds. we need more people like you to show us how to do things around here! good job 5 stars!
Newbigb: ok i did what you said but it tell me not found it dosent say 1 file copy what am i doing wrong
naxious: how do you backslash on a computer?
naxious: it does not work for me and i did the exact same thing.
RichJohnson06: Does this work in Vista the exact same way? Because it isnt for me so far...
WOGI5M: I noticed you said "subscribe if you like US" so there is more than one of you? Is there a group of people helping you make the videos? just curious...
WOGI5M: LOL well I enjoy your videos. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
cronaldopwns: nice, so thats how the picture viruses work, cheers
jmprox: This doesn't allow you to make viruses.
This is only for hiding the files in the jpeg image.
You can not execute code with this method AFAIK
AcerProRokerInc: hey thnx man... this is more useful than it seems... now i can hide my exe's in pics on my local drive @ school (they delete all exe's every 3 min)
friggn 10 outta 10 my friend that wuz gud workage
n3vr0n4: In GNU/Linux you can just:
cat cow.jpg archive.tar.gz > secretcow.jpg
BTW, FYI tar just puts the files in one file (the name comes from tape archiver) without any compression or encryption. So the "paranoid" you were talking about is actually not adding any security.
jimmyrcom: yes it does. deleting the file header will prevent people from knowing if it's one file or several files and windows users don't have anything to "untar" the file by default.
C3ddie: that is so effing pro...NIIICE!
clayc93: its not working for me for some reason
robtrebo: I can't extract the files from the image, I am using winzip, what can I do? Thank you
nibbler66: YOU CAN DO THIS WITH WINRAR ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO thetechtray dot net/2007/05/30/hiding-files-in-jpegs it gives the entire instructation. Not to steal the spot light Jimmy :D
SneakyUltimater: I think this is limited to Windows Vista since the finished file doesn't work in XP.
SneakyUltimater: Ahh... I had to right-click the finished JPG and choose "open with..." and find "7-zip File Manager"(7zFM.exe). Ok, so I got it working in Windows XP.
akisisback: i tried it and i get this message: "The system cannot find the file specified"
what's wrong?
ltsAboutJesus: you're in the wrong directory. check your filepath manually to verify the file is where you believe it to be then use the verified file path.
Eqvaliser: Works like a charm, tx for the tip.. like it.
Allpaca: 4chan loves to do this, great info man, thanks a bunch.
razie: How do I extract the files? I'm using 7-zip but all it says are compress and email and stuff.
serranorichard: hey were do you find the pic of da cow? jk cool video
chensamurai: INGENIOUS! Perfect for sneaking files such as exe across places such as Gmail. Yeah, Gmail doesn't allow exe attachments as we know.
But anyways, this could be extremely useful. Good job on the video!
linkthewarrior: This only works when you use 7-zip. Winrar does not work when you try this.
j0n4s2007: no, winrar works fine! thx for the tipp! ps: your link is at ww*w.spiegel.d*e/netzwelt/ehrensenf/0,1518,496947, 00.html
islamegy: Wow... greaaaaaat, I didn't ever use /B paramter before.
nice tip
Dialexio: Very simple and useful. Thanks for the tip! :)
Xenon0816: cool thx for the tip!
very simple but really effective thank you (5*)
saemikneu: Hey, jimmy.
I like your tips. But could you scroll a bit slower?
kiodo99: this is a really cool tip, but does this only work for vista? cuz i'm using XP and it keeps saying "the system cannot find the file specified" even though i literally copied what you did exactly with 7-zip and the x folder and everything!!!
caveman314: very nice. would it still work if instead of a .zip file i used a truecrypt volume?
Parasyt121: what kind of 7zip do ya use? Cus i tried and it wont let me extract it like i do normal .7z files.
212munky: is this possible for mac os x as well?
PrinceTyseyh: if it doesnt work do this
( from the words of jimmyrcom )
I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Try COPY /B C:\x\cow.jpg + C:\x\x.rar C:\x\end.jpg . Maybe copy is for some reason using it's own path in windows\system32 rather than the current directory in dos
it worked for me when i tried like this =)
now i feel awsome lol
cmatt85: this only works because .JPG files ignore anything beyond what the header defines as the legnth. no other filetype does this so this only works with JPEG!
TendouJigoku: No it works with PNG,JPG,JPEG,BMP,GIF (Animated too),tif,and SWF
kiodo99: oi, i tried what PrinceTyseyh said to do, but it still isn't working for me, i'm getting frustrated now!
kiodo99: nevermind, i got it, all i had to do was change the file names using the "move" command on the command prompt, and then follow the exact code jimmyrcom gave us
minchanexcels: Dude. That's awesome; plain and simple.
o.O
How'd you find about that?
bobylalapoo: nice work! i finnaly made it now... didnt find out how to extract the other files from the JPEG :P
But what do i do with it .. is there anny thing i can do with it?
IMDZ: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, i did it. *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!*
you rock!
iCHAINSAW: it doesn't work with winrar for me :(.
digitalkila: yeah u cant extract just download 7 zip i just did took 4 secounds
TigerSoldier: Awesome. This is why I subscribed to you =). But you said recently no more tutorials =(.
Alas777: man! I wished you had narrated all this jimmy, it makes it a LOT easier to understand
aaaani: that's very cool, thanks! haha I just couldn't stop listening to that voice, it's kinda sexy
flecky101: my 7-zip thing, ive combined the 2, that worked fine, but wiht my 7-zip, i right click, and it doesnt let me extract it, its not even an option =/, help?
JamiexAi: try right click > open with > 7-zip file manager :)
flecky101: hey, sorry to bother you, buttt you helped me witht he first q i had =P
right, now when i try and copy them in the cmd prompt window, it says the files cannot be found
yet theyre in the specified folder i made on my c drive
any ideas?
Alabama64lee: awesome, never knew you could do that :P
miguss2: it appened to me too, just write the image name/zip name + jpg.../zip.... after you write image name/ zip name, like: COPY /B image.jpg + archivename.zip archivenameimage.zip, i´m bad in tutorials but i hope that i can help
flecky101: it wouldnt work for the .7z files no matter what i tried
but the zips work everytime
thanks mate
=D
miguss2: i´m sorry: .....archivenameimage,jpg
lestweforget9210: can you make batchfiles execute when you open the picture?
BlingblingBoBo: Would it be possible that you match the jpg file with a batch file and when you run the jpg the batch file starts?
xpistolwhipx: 7-zip zip is one of the greatest f2p extraction software out there
likeatalltree: can the files be found by searching?
45nnd: hay are other things to type like copy /d copy /k i need to know please tell me if you know any thing
drsliq: try reading the COPY man page/help page/whatever the fk windows calls it.
oeyeballs: why jimmy, why do you teach us all this criminal stuff.. thing.
the1jasman: you all are a bunch of noob idiots.
jimmyrcom: this from a 27 year old wow fanatic that lives with his mom.
jakayboy: hey how do u do it the files isnt in the c drive but in my pictures or sumthin im confused please help
jakayboy: oh no im all good it is complicated but
u type d:
which goes d drive which has mydocuments in it
then cd my documents
then cd my pictures the u type the code lmao
cobalt47i: Hey Jimmy, I have a problem. I've used a photo and merged A folder containing Mp3s into the photo. When I go to Extract Files or Extract Here and click OK, it says I have an error saying archive is not supported. FOr this technique of yours to work, should I just merge the MP3s or the actual folder in the photo? Thanks.
KyoukiKurenai: guess this wont work to hide me 8 GB folder, concidering that would take like a day (literally) to archive...
d1dc1a: cool. simple and easy.
thank you
bangbang5556: at 1:05 u highlight like 2 diff things how the hell did u do that?!!
gamerdudeNick: try holding down the butten while highlighting, hold ctrl then let go of the mouse butten and try to highlight something else while keeping ctrl held......works for me anyway
bangbang5556: it works now but only in folders and stuff
licalee: To select a bunch of files at once click and hold just outside the image you want then roll your mouse over to select what you want. It will make that box that you see in the vid and everything in that box will be highlighted.
You can select non sequential files by then holding down control like gamerdude says.
You can also click and highlight one item then hold shift and arrow to other files say if you use really tiny font on your screen or your mouse is being a bitch.
licalee: "Folders and stuff"... yeah it works for files but are you looking to do it on the web? I don't know how to do that.
That would be really cool if you could selectively copy non sequential pieces of a document quickly. Awesome for reference and eliminating the non relevant parts. I'd ask for a video tutorial but I think it might be better explained verbally. I'm not going to arse Jimmy for a 10 second video.
incomplete33: my command line is screwed. it can't find my files. any suggestions?
jaymaccool: hey. good video. is there any way to make the hidden files run when you run the jpeg? thanks!
chaoster111: but wat do i click if i use winzip????
jazzGT: Can't make it work. Files did merge, but I get an error message that states that No Archives were Found in the Selected File or Folder, when attempting to extract. Any ideas? I'm using the latest version of WinRar by the way.
010101666010101666: thanks man great tutorial seriously :)
wannabehaxor: what would we do (in our spare time) Without you lol
wannabehaxor: hey can you help me? i wanna hide an invisible folder in a jpg, but when i archive the invisible folder then extract it, i get a folder with this symbol "ÿ" is there any wya to do this
GiggityZZ: WOAH dood this is crazy. this could be very useful.... dood are u like a compuiter programmer?
EGarrett01: I'm also curious here. How do you know such an insane amount of obscure and useful stuff? How long have you been using computers? You go to MIT or something also?
omg340: Quite not a hack, I would call it a trick, although, for some ppl, HEX editors are too much. And, you can also even more protect your files, you could hide the folders, so the size of the image would be smaller.
Bobertoq: wow. That is amazing how do you figure this stuff out?
Mrevilbobguy: there are automated ways of doing this
avinashchand100: Great man... Thanks for sharing it.... keep it up..
al1ster: cool video doesnt work to well with winrar tho unless you wanna go to open with then pic winrar manually every time umm yeah ive used this properly and now its just telling me it cant find the file specifyed so i dont no whats up with that and dont think thats happening to other people so maybe it somthing on my pc tho couldnt think what would cause that well thanks anyways pridy usefull for sending stuff through msn 2
alckyI3: Is there any limit to your nerdyness? You know too much.
pimpsahoy1594: this video is awesome thanks very much
rahul523: this is very Awesum n userful Vedio...u rock man...excellent
Prophetelf: this doesnt work on regular XP rite?
tOlwers: this is good. and it works too:D
Millhouse013: wow, that's the coolest thing I've seen for a long time already!
kevind23: This is only useful on 4chan, where it's usually spammed around anyway...
blackbolcon: secret cow....lmao...I love it!!!
zumzer0: Is this why I sometimes get this= "Some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer. Click here to download pictures."
omg340: Um, usually not, because pictures can be either vurneable nor ok.
qglfisch: my 7z says "cow.jpg is not a supported archive" if i want to open the archive in the picture. it doesn't work, but maybe it's my mistake...
somerandomdude53: that is cool... id assume u could hide files in any type of file then?
omgida: this isn't working for me, when i have the copied file i don't have the option extract here.
twoofmyfingers: reinstall your compression software and let it add some shell extensions to your system.
omgida: ok i reinstalled the 7zip but i still don't get any extract option.
twoofmyfingers: then simply run your 7zFM.exe (in 7z installation directory) and find your archive 'by hand'.
omgida: woohoo, found it :) thanks a lot.
H1tMaster: use "Open in" - and find 7zip... Had the same problem w/ winrar ;) GL
fastfighter: When i used winrar i had to use "Open With" that's how i made it work.
Thulsa790: The option extract here is added when you install 7z
cjvman: You can use XP's built in file compressor to zip the files up. Neat trick, thanks!
lakercoolman: Great Video as usual , and nice little trick lol come in handy thx 5 stars
anewdaybygodagain: do i need to install 7 zip software,how do i do it.thanx!!!
fastfighter: Will it show how big the file is? Thanks i will try this.
bluesaco: This clown is just a self proclaimed genius only looking for personal acknowledgement. What a douche.
daphrozen: yep, bincopy.. nice example ;)
1h8n00bs: "Subscribe if you like us." I though it was only JimmyRcom who does this..
ramsinghh283: Not bad. This site is pretty good for nekkid cam girls - _SWEETDATEZ.COM_
btbking: what if i want to auto execute a keylogger when opening the picture? :D
Adamodell1: That wouldn't work, unless you wanted to do some serious haxx0ring!
ZacsEpicEphemera: can any one help me? I can get the two files (.jpg + .7z) merged into one file called x.jpg using the binary copy, and it opens as a image would. but when i try the "extract here" from the 7zip context menu, I'm told that 7zip does not support the file type. ?????
any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
1987james101: I get the same thing Open with winzip and it works
ZacsEpicEphemera: Found the problem, works with any other image accept those taken by my canon 350D
hope this helps someone??
weechris77: lolz this is the best thing eevr! how did you find this? plz get back to me about anything else
elvenkratos: wow this looks fun, thanks lol
dirrty81f740: Not bad. Theres a ton of naughty camgirls at _TIME4CAMZ.COM_
gufu1992: I can'y copy - my comp says it doesn't find the files :(
preca1: you must put files together in one folder and then you need to cd there (use cd command to get in folder you put them files). then write "the secret code" :).
gufu1992: Did all of that... it's a JPG (can it be png BTW?)
Adamodell1: Works with all formats, I believe!
adamgooday: How do you add 7z to the context menus? i have the program but they aren't in the context menus
iulikyle: Interesting ! I made a tool that automates this thing ;). And it's working for every type of file :)
iam2strong: When you enter the command, you don't have to capitalize the "copy" and "/b"
iam2strong: But I have a problem: everything works all right except the last step. When I try to extract the secretcow.jpg, an error pops up saying "secretcow.jpg" is not supported archive. Anyone can help me with that?
btw, the picture was not taken with Cannon 350D
iam2strong: I've tried and succeeded in certain cases. It appears that the properties of the .jpg file has a lot to do with whether or not the hybrid file can be extraced.
Thefinalfall: making me dizzy as shit man
boenning: "type secret.zip >> picture.jpg" does basically the same (you won't have the original picture.jpg anymore). "cat secret.zip >> picture.jpg" might work on MacOS X or Linux (not sure about the unpacking there).
a7x310: First time I saw this video. All in all, that is very sneaky, yet it also provides you with security against hackers if your files are very confidential. What I like the most is that you named the file secretcow. Reference to Diablo II much? :)
danieldudek85: and yet secretcow.jpg somehow is the same size as cow.jpg itself, and extracted files are 0 bytes in size... no magic there so...
avirex01999: idiot. the hidden files are examples thats why theyre 0 bytes to show you
techforumz: use 'steghide' it's much better, and the files are non-zero-byte.
mattg400194: kool.. i actually have a similar video like this and i use 7zip too =P , high-five. =)
and Win Ace by the way doesnt work that well. =/
yunkies: The only thing is that the .jpg new file created is as big as what the .zip is. So a 100mb .jpg is obviously going to raise a flag! It's the only thing...the size...other than that, great trick.
bicksboy: i agree with yunkies under me. it would be one heckofa picture if it was 100 mb. it doesn't even work for me (something about a syntax error). the general idea is good though. you have to be some sort of genious to know how to do this w/o the video. you rock man! keep making videos
Adamodell1: You have pretty much ALL of the same programs I have. Weird. I guess all geeks and computer dudes have some sense of what's good and what's bad.
Adamodell1: works with animated gifs also!
ch33se: I cant extract the thing i merged inside the picture >_>
scorpio209: jimmy sounds like a square bear in this video
msampson3d: Thats just because his 7z file was so small. I've done this before, and I'm PRETTY sure if you put big files in the archive, the picture will be bigger in size to reflect whats really in it.
DKfansown: dude, at the end, did yu say us?
hedsht: its not working for me... it keeps saying the system cannon find file specified....
LessJohnson: why not just use aes or the likes
tommos23: kool that actualy works, i didnt put anything dirty in there, hem hem
could have zoomed out a bit though
Chaotic6666: lol and a random picture of a cow
thefinalgamer: us nerds run the world dumbass
rcakirerk: this is so cool! i used to only change the extensions but this is a much better solution! thank u x 1000 ! :D
BomberPorkka: u can send a virust just like that to your friend :D
emoboy69c682: Let's talk dirty
_TIME4CAMZ.COM_
bobrenjc93: so do we have to have that program?
funnyfind7318: Yes, it seems that in this matter 7-zip is much better than WinRar/Zip because it's the only one that detects hidden archive inside.
ChoasOrderPAIN: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW that is insane...gave me a few ideas too >:)
thanks!
lpriux: WinRar can find archive, when you rename picture to rar/zip. I like that, because no one can see that archive is in image without renaming file
Amberlodge1: Talk about driving you mad. Why did you rush so much??? Will the file still display with the other files in the jpg? If not you may as well just change the extension from zip to jpg to do the same thing.
caca124: Lol I bet people are going to hide some naughty files
drright71: LOL! New life into a 14 year old trick... Except back then the embedded files were encrypted first with PGP.
tcgndn: it says error every time i try to combine them
jawadkho: If you have Vista you'll need to run CMD as Admin. And if you don't get the choice for extracting it when you right click then you have to click on open with and select WinRAR or what you use and you can extract it then.
iulikyle: Try iHider 1.0. It's doing what this doesb, but more precisly ! Google it !
sallelinus: hmm... i cant unpack them after this... what have i do wrong?
xQuarantinex: i get "The system cannot find the file specified" what am i doing wrong?
xQuarantinex: nm got it working...if you want to unpack them right click the file, and go to "open with" Then select your archive program!
NexXxus86: omg...
the only trick is that 7z can recognize archives in bigfiles by searching for the header -.-
etherealatrocity: im using windows xp and the 7z. i follow exactly what this says. the files must be joined cuz the jpg is now several megabytes, but when i try and extract it, i right click 7z and the only options it gives are - add to archive, - compress and email, -add to superfly.7z, -compress to superfly.7z and email, - add to superfly.zip, - compress to superfly.zip and email... nowhere does it show "extract here."
etherealatrocity: okay, i found if i change the extension of the copied file from .jpg to .7z, it will then extract. how come its not extracting with the .jpg extension like the vid?
KaviR4: hey do u perhaps knw how to get into a piczo site that is password protected?
Az8: if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
swords1989: I dind't and my mom is still alive. Now what?
kastknichifhahd123: dude, i'd just encrypt it using Zero Footprint Crypt, so what's the point
Clewis333: okay... i tried this and i got to the point where you used the command line and then i typed in what i was supposed to and it said "The System cannot find the file specified". so i have no idea what is wrong
VaKeVK: maybe write not sample.txt
you must write sample
Clewis333: i've tried both. i'm running vista does this just not work for vista? no matter what i do it always says the system cannot find the file specified
beavkil: you are probably not in the right directory
qbasic16: it's cool.
but now everyone knows =)
ZeronicX: i did everything the video told me to, and it gave me the new "secret" picture but it would not allow me to extract inside the folder but only gave me options to add to archive etc, you happen to know hwy it did this?
JanKenk123: I have the same problem i cant extract the files
g12Nimrod: what you can do is, "open with" the picture with the programme you used to archive the files and extract them from there. If you use WinRAR it will create a new folder for you with the files inside.
beavkil: you can't use .zip to do this, did you put /b in command prompt
theheadlesschooken: Thank you. This is a great tut :)
I just used to hide a file (my way) and then rename everything as .jpg :)
This is way better
timetravelfx: thanks for this tutorial. good stuff
irobot335: omfg sweet now i can keep prno without my mom knowing!
wazzumz: That's trippy. If you use WinRar, you could even set passwords to the archives and also put a comment as a hint. I just have one question though. Can you upload the final photo to somewhere like photobucket and everything is still intact, assuming that the file is not that large?
michael140688: Excellent! Shame it doesn't work when you embed as .zip though.
ytube28341: An easier way to do a similar trick is:
Right click the files you want to hide.
Select, send to zip.
Open the zip & password protect it with 9 or more characters (in case someone does find out).
Rename the .zip to .jpg
To extract it back out, rename the .jpg to .zip & don't forget your password.
michael140688: It's not quite the same though, because this functions as a jpg but still contains the zip. However, not many people would suspect unless they looked.
ytube28341: Yeah, a lot of people would just assume that this is a "dead" picture, and delete it.
Maxemus90: i try in vista and doesnt work. i can put them in i just can get them out. y?
MobiusOwns: it works with vista you didnt do it right
ninjamula: hey i have winrar and i did this but i cant extract the files from the image. any ideas y?
MobiusOwns: right click and go to properties and change the program it opens with to winzip but change it back when your done
mikki12358: those files are they really ur secret files :P or are they just sum crap u made up for the video?
stormlexer: You can't extract this with winrar. :(
Well you can if you rename the file to .rar but not while it's a .jpg.
Cool tut though and it does work.
swatsticker: maybe for u, i did it an it work perfectly!!
Anobehell: Open the pic with winrar. it works..i did it
with the "open with" option under the right click menu
joker1836: i did everything you said and it came up could not find the specified file is there anything you can think of that i did wrong
bluesnowboarder609: put it in ur c drive then in cmd type in cd\ then type the code in skip going to foler x
PiratesVersusNinjas: why not just encrypt lol and yes i know this is a type of encryption in itself but you know what i mean. All the software i use to compile lets me uses passwords so you can always add them for extra security
zachfrommars: you said full speed is a malware
is it so
gerakiotis: what program to record your screen do you have?
sanders93: Camstudio, he has video's on it, also it's included in his FAQ video.
woodchip200z: how cna u make a .bat file run when u open the jpeg image?
killadrag0n: That is EXACTLY what I wanted to know, but I didn't know how to ask it. Thank you.
p.s. I hope there is a way to do it.
gavinlenin: use an app like cammo. theirs no way to do it integrated into doze
Hummerwar921: Hey this was awesome, but is there a way to make the JPG run a batch file when you open it? Thanks.
ltsAboutJesus: Why wouldnt you be able to make a self deleting batch file to go along with the jpg that self deletes after it installs a copy somewhere else on the harddrive?
Hummerwar921: Huh?
That's not how it works.
IISKETCHII: i really want to get this working. iv saved ALL the wanted files inside my newly created 'x' file on my cdrive. everthing checks out fine until i hit enter after the bionary line, and it says it can't find the selected file (x) wtf??
themanfromthehouse: if you send me a message on my page of exactly what your doing i could help
IISKETCHII: nah...its alright. i got it working (with help from another tut. used a different way to navigate the DOS prompt...dunno why his worked for me but this one didn't)
joker1836: what way did u use. plz respond
themanfromthehouse: emm he used DOS prompt which jimmyr used in the vid
cptgg: how do i open uif file please help i donwloaded 250 magic e books and i tried 7 zip and nothing happens i need some help ...thanks
igob8a: i remember hearing about this a while back, thanks for reminding me to try it myself
(worked flawlessly, but with winrar and vista, you need to change the .jpg with .rar or whatever you compressed it as. also works with word documents, etc)
Apadamek: Hi, i tried to use your method of hiding the files and i do receive the "files copied screen" however 7zip does not give me the option to "extract here"
merari2306: wow you r gonna get far with this... suker!!!
acousticwie: I tried this but after creating the "secret file", if you right click and go to 7 zip, there is no option for extract files. Any help?
DevinWasLikeYo: i have the same problem. i dont think i can do it. something with my computer maybe. probably cause i tried on windows. is there a way to do this on linux?
acousticwie: Men I got it. Since I cannot extract it by 7z, I tried using Winrar. Just right click the file then open with then choose winrar and then you will see the file =) i have winrar and 7z on my system right now.
malcolmthe4: if you can NOT open the new file with winrar or 7z.......
THEN
try this:
right click on the file ->open with->winrar
and there you go...
you will see the hidden filles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kethoth: This isn't working for me. I use windows XP, new winzip, 7z. I /bcopy files, it looks like sucessful attempt but I can't unzip outcome jpgs. Also ziped jpgs from other people, my system fail to see archives in them.
vampiricassassin41: i can't even get the two files to copy into one file....
kethoth: Nevermind it worked with winrar.
emilang: OWHHHHH!
YOU SNEAKY BOY! *Shifty eyes*
Greekgargoyle: wow, really good man...thanks for sharing it!!
Ro0hm3: Don't works on my computer .. =/
Stupid Vista..
DrQuillo: Works on my Vista. Maybe you should try again?
james227uk: works on my vista too. you must have done something wrong...
webmasteroy: Haha, where do you learn this?
cheatonly2win: Please Help ME !
i did everything but when i right click the new image there isnt "extract" in the 7-zip menu... help !
james227uk: open the main 7zip program then browse and select you new file. the click the extract button. find it and there you go!
JavaGuy147: how did he learn this? simple. ITS A DOS COMMAND! DOS can be very useful if people knew the commands!
takkieman: how did set extract on the menu? with rgiht click?
WileyII: so lemme get this straight, there is no way to fix the finished file so that you can simply right click, 7 zip, and choose to extract as shown in the video? I understand you can just go to the 7 zip file manager but doing it the other way would be much easier
rmfitness: cheers thats reali kwl but its weird that mine doesnt have the extract here option i have to go though 7zip n search for the file:S its still reali good thanx jimmy. iv learnt soo much off ur videos !
rmfitness: another thing i have noticed is that when i edit the files inside the .jpg it comes up with an error message saying that i cant save the file. please can anyone help?
danzig7766: Thers also a program called fusion that will do this too
n310ea: Does Windows have its own compression software you can use?
ChrisRenucci: Since XP you can archive and Open .ZIP files.But to have a fast, powerfull and free compression Software use 7-Zip.
taemo619: It doesn't work in compressed zipped folder...
Can't "open with..."
2dumb2care: what compress thing are you useing
SnappedManX6: 7z. He said it a bunch of times. But you can use any compression program
2dumb2care: i wasn't talking to jimmy i was talking to SnappedManX6 thats why i posted as a reply under his name BAKA!!!
yotubevid: hey, i followed you untill the command line. what do you type in after your in the drive? the name of the folder? i did that but it doesn't work
yotubevid: forget my other message, but how can i get cmd to go into the "documents and settings" folder?
Nekzy: hey, I use Kubuntu (Linux) is this possible using linux?
067077: jimmyr, you are a genius. kudos
tydye8: For some reason I can't seem to get the archived files into the picture. In the command prompt it says files copied but when I go to extract the files from the picture, it doesn't say "Extract Here" or any other extracting options. Help Please!
1357swat: YEA IM GETTING THE SAME PROBLEM!
Harosgr: is there a case running the jpg and the binded.. let's say *.doc file (not compressed archive) simultaneously?
runescapesstupid929: thats kinda cool
could be helpful if your runnin on a shared pc and want to hide somethin of yours from other users and your not admin (if the console isn't set to restriction by admin of course)
09pchelp09: it dont get the bit u say i have it in a x file wtf?
stanni1992: He put the files he was using in a folder nammed "x" in his C: drive, listen carfully next time.
ALLvEnigmaBABY: It won't work for me, I'm using WinRar, any help?
RandomX3: I used WinRar as well. Click "Open With..." and select Winrar from the list (If it isn't there Browse for it). The Hidden files should be in the Winrar screen. Then click "Extract To" (the second button on WinRar screen) and choose where to place the files. Instant hidden files!
crazybro191: doesn't work on winrar, unless you actually change the extension of the pic to .rar instead of keeping it .jpg, then it would work :)
crazybro191: Excellent and most helpful video Jimmy.
Axoth: wow that is so kool now i lost my file cause i can't find it
lol......... =D
topi211: Thanks. It works fine for me, and I am usin Winrar
BadBlueBoy213: in vista, it says it cant find the path to "x". i put x to te c drive..
cd\
cd x
cant find the path to "x"
it works only with folders, otherwise "it cant find the path"
does it even work on vista?
vista users, i'm calling you! tell me if this worked on your computer!
thanks
runescape26: Did you make the folder in the C drive? -.-
Works fine for me... VISTA For the lose
solidacid1337: i have vista and i can't even acces my own c drive, vista SUCKS
stanni1992: Idiots im using vista and it works fine...
aiklarung: i think it's easier to use a less-known archive format, put a 30+ character long pass with uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and katakana/hiragana/kanji and delete the extension, but loved the trick anyway.
thanks! :)
KillingTheSystem: hmmmm, well i have a feeling that image virus is now reborn haha.
aiklarung: I also have vista, nimakuntalung, but didn't tried it yet, because i'm not afraid of the CIA hacking into my pc looking for my "secret documents" but what i said is that you can compress with a pass with roman, greek, chinese japanese and russian characters, almost impossible to hack. by the way, try 7z.
aiklarung: well, i'm brazilian but i don't think my english is so bad. what i say is:
you may want to put a file on a jpeg because you want no one to see whats inside it, right? if you want to protect your file, you can just put it in a zip or rar or 7z and password protect it.
aiklarung: by cia and hacking i meant that i am not paranoid about the cia hacking on my pc or any weird conspiracy theory stuff like that.
and by chinese i meant that a password strenght is determined by how much different characters it uses. like chinese or japanese or whatever. you can mix them, and your file will be more hack-resistant, basically.
AluminumFoilHatMan: So from this video, it would be possible to receive a .jpg that contains a virus?
codywalkCO: hay can you email me on youtube the answer to my question
How do you make it so that when you are highlighting files you can skip a file to highlight like when you where highlighting your files you skipped past the file named Post?????
CodesRCool: Pres Ctrl while selecting to select more files, at once, try playin with the Control button (if on a Windows pc)
codywalkCO: Thank you so much that will come in use.
florinbuftea: Thats soo cool.. i can do alot of things with this :D ..thanx
youpussy9: different...i use software which i googled i forgot the name yo to lock and password my vid and pic or file...
youpussy9: why you hide then when extracted it shows the file!nothing more useless than just renaming the file but i have a software to lock and pasword ityo!
datawinds: I used this method years ago to put my source code at the end of exe files so I would always have it...
lighteelco: Works with every archiver.
-7zip
-Winzip
-Winrar.
Name it and it works.
gameR12094: wont work for me in CMD...GRRRR i type everyhitng and then it says the File could not be specified
gameR12094: wont work for me in CMD...GRRRR i type everyhitng and then it says the File could not be specified
Heinousness: make sure your in the right directory while in cmd
wisam91: it works perfectly but is there a way to hide an exe inside the jpg and let the exe work when i view the photo?
gameR12094: how come i can Hide my Files...i have one and it wont Work, i have 7-zip and i added to Archive, then i went to CMD i type everything in and it says The system cannot find the File Specified... WTF whut the heel is wrong with it?
hempygreen: HAHAHAHAHA... I wonder how people are actually using this! HAHAHAHA... Great vid once again!
fatty17770: Y DOES IT NOT WORK!!!!!!! it dsnt work in my CMD
it just says file could be specified
Leivonmies: When you are writing the image name, put .jpg after the image name.
Collinz05: yea says system doesnt find specified file? can someone help please?
Collinz05: ok!!! i transfered my 7zipped archive document or whatev and the image itself to my c drive then tried again in the command prompt....now it says, my image (tree.jpg), and below that it says access denied, then says 0 files copied???? anyone know whats up?
Leivonmies: Ok try this, do everything normal. You have the image and zipped stuff you want to put in the picture. When in the cmd when you choose the secret picture name change the .jpg to .png, like hidden.jpg change it to hidden.png.
trico93lol: it work fine for mee........but the only problem is that i need to change the extension(from .jpg to .7z) if i want to extract the files.....i dunno y?
