Hide and Seek v 4.1 data hiding/seeking using GIF files (GIF format copyright Compuserve). these programs take data, usually text, including encrypted text, and hide it in a gif file. just type hide <infile.ext> <giffile[.gif]> [key] and viol ! your data is hidden away where it will be hard to detect. unfortunately the nature of the method doesn't allow for _perfect_ secrecy, and you can kinda tell the gif file has been changed a bit, and if you know what to look for, you could probably spot a GIF with hidden data in it, depending on how much data. i recommend black and white photo gifs for maximum security---it'll just look a tiny bit "noisy", and you can't really tell the difference at all with the naked eye, even with long files. be aware that the GIF file must be 256-color (or shades of gray) for hide and seek to work on it.....otherwise the picture degredation would be so severe as to be laughable. |
