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

Monitor secret connections that your computer makes.

How to see which websites your computer is secretly connecting to? 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...

Fileless Ransomware - All you need to know.

Fileless Ransomware - All you need to know. Many global companies, banks, and even some government organizations are struggling to protect everything from the newest type of threat that scared the world — Fileless Ransomware. The new version of ransomware has arrived — it’s stealthy, almost impossible to detect and is forcing every vulnerable organization to pay the ransom to cyber criminals. These attacks are called “fileless” or non-malware ransomware attacks in which the attack executes malicious commands with Microsoft’s PowerShell. It’s really important to mention that Non-malware or file-less ransomware (unlike some traditional ransomware) does not use any of the files to encrypt your data, but instead it writes scripts/macros which originate from PowerShell to encrypt the files. Fileless malware is a unique type of software and it's really difficult to detect because the malicious code is embedded into the native scripting language or written straight in...
