Hiding files inside an Image on Android


You can hide your files behind an image and this technique is called Steganography. So lets get started.

What is Steganography


Steganography is an art of hiding a file, message, audio, video, or image within another file, message, audio, video, or image. The word steganography comes from two greek words "steganos" (meaning: concealed) and "graphein" (meaning: writing).

The basic difference between cryptography and Steganography is that in cryptography only the message is hidden, but in Steganography, the message and the secret communication are hidden.

A lot of good steganographic tools are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, but not that much for the Android operating system.

Now lets see how you can do the same

Has your Internet connection become slower than it should be?  There may be a chance that you have some malware, spyware,  or adware that is using your Internet connection in the  background without your knowledge. Here’s how to see what’s  going on under the hood. It’s worth noting that most third-party firewalls will probably give you  this same type of information as well as block things that are trying to  connect… unless the applications managed to add an exclusion already.  Better check anyway. So, how do you find out what the problem is? There is an easy method using the netstat  command from a command prompt window. This works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.  If you’re still using XP, make sure you are running at least Service Pack 2,  and just assume that somebody already hacked your computer because your operating  system is now a te...
