Tutorial for Windows - Hide n' Seek :p

[lightt]

hello guys, some times we have important things, that we wish no one to read or see, well we also need to leave that in our computers , or maybe even send it, but would be a little dangerous if someone could ever get it, or read it. Years ago there were a software that worked as a cameleon, u could hid documents as jpeg (awesome right!!!) Well it can being: documents, pics, vids, or whatever, let's see what we can do, so no one will be able to get it. . .

HIDE and SEEK tutorial

software needed: Winrar

first off lets allow modifications in the extension of the files. . . just follow the pic bellow



After u have accessed the folders options, go to view TAB and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types



ok

now chose a file that u want to hide. In this tutorial I'm using a very important document



things now only get simpler, right click this document or documents, and chose send to, compressed folders



oh i forget to mention, u now are able to put a password, so even if someone get the file, wont be able to open it (unless the person is hacker lol)

time to put a password, right click the new compressed folder u have just created and select Explore

done that select from the top of the window FILE> Add a Password



the password is up to u of course. . . i used lightt . . . :P

ok lets get it done

now after u put a password, is time to change its extension makin it invisible. . . or maybe camouflaged

select the file press F2, give it a system name, like win_234, then u can chose the extension, it can be .dll .sys or any of ur preference, specially extensions that are not opened in every system. I chose to rename as W_s.dll

See that u can't say behind this file there's a doc. . . can u?



if still u want to hide it a little bit more, just right-click it, chose properties> attributes> hidden

to open the file is simple. . . double click the file, windows will pop up another window, chose Select the program from a list> ok

Now chose Winrar - there u are, with ur file again :wink:

well that's it fellows, i hope somehow it will be useful. . .

lightt


ps.: dont forget to put the files extension back to normal, otherwise, whenever u try to rename a file, u may change the extension of it. . . just follow the first and second pic to get it done, just check it back

Try embedding a rar archive in a jpg. It's more fun and less work! (Mwhahahahahahaahaha!!!) :twisted:

yeah, but there is one problem, if someone get to see that huge jpeg or any other image extension, it would be easy to discover, the point i used rar was just to be able to put a password. Though the person discovers still has to crack the password :wink:

my favorite way to hide things on the family computer (not that I have to anymore, i have my own laptop) is to do this:

Add .{C96401CC-0E17-11D3-885B-00C04F72C717} to the name of any folder. (eg. Stuff would become Stuff.{C96401CC-0E17-11D3-885B-00C04F72C717} )

This makes it impossible to open the folder in explorer, but still has the same icon and still has the files inside. I use WinRAR to browse the contents of the folder (open winrar manually without archive tho)

Nobody I know is really skilled with computers, so I'm good with just having all my stuff in hidden folders.

I guess it would be good if your parents knew about computers.

I would never worry about my parents, first because I stay alone, so I don't even have the need to hide anything, no one but me access my laptop... but it just a way to hide and protect stuffs!!!!
