Hiding a Zip File Inside a Photo by using CMD

 In this post I'm going to show you how to hide your ".zip" files inside an image file by combining them together.

In the world of digital privacy and data management, steganography offers an intriguing method for concealing files within other files. One simple yet effective technique involves hiding a zip file inside a photo. In this post, we’ll explore how to accomplish this using a straightforward command-line.

First of all, Let's understand What is Steganography?

Steganography is the practice of concealing a file within another file to keep its existence hidden. It allows information to be transmitted or stored discreetly by embedding it in a seemingly innocuous medium, such as an image or audio file.

Steps to Hide a Zip Files Inside an Image File

Step 1: Prepare Your Files.

Make sure you have the photo (e.g., "photo.jpg") and the zip file (e.g., "file.zip") that you want to combine.

Step 2: Open Command Prompt.

Navigate to the folder where your files are located. You can do this by typing "cmd" in the address bar of the folder and pressing Enter.

Step 3: Run the Following Command.

copy /b photo.jpg + file.zip output.jpg{codeBox}

The "/b" switch tells the command to treat the files as binary, which is necessary for combining them without altering their content.

Step 4: Verify the Result.

The "output.jpg" file will appear in the folder. It will look like a regular photo, but it now contains your zip file embedded within it. You can use a file extraction tool to retrieve the zip file by renaming "output.jpg" to "output.zip" and extracting it as you would with any zip file.
