July 24th, 2007 at 5:44 pmThis was a nice idea… but it does NOT work with all compression programs. I was able to “hide” the files as the video instructed… but both the zip utility that is built into Windows as well as StuffIt 7 would not open the resulting “secret” file. I also tried renaming the “secret” file with a .zip extension, and still no luck. So… it was easy to HIDE the files… but you can never FIND them again… Unless, of course, you use the Z7 program that he had. … But who the heck has ever heard of that program in the real world?

you’ve never heard of 7zip??!?!?!??? -
Geramy Says:
July 25th, 2007 at 1:40 pmNope. Around here, we use one of three: Either Win-Zip, StuffIt, or the utility that is built into Windows XP/Vista. I’ve never once heard of 7Zip.

July 25th, 2007 at 7:03 pmIf you are having trouble opening the resulting archive, make sure you saved it as a zip file. The default is 7zip’s own format and windows cant open it natively.

July 25th, 2007 at 9:55 pmThis works in linux as well. The process is slightly different. I use Ubuntu so if you use a different distro, your mileage may vary.
1) Find Cow picture: cow.jpg
2) Create your ZIP or TAR or RAR or whatever using Gnome’s Archive Manager. We’ll use secret.zip for this example.
3) In a terminal type: cat secret.zip >> cow.jpg (This appends the zip to the end of the jpg file.Now it looks and feels like a jpg… however, Archive Manager doesn’t know what to do with it. So before opening with Archive Manager change the extension to .zip (or whatever you used) and it should open just fine!

July 28th, 2007 at 7:47 pmHmm… Interesting to see these old tricks again. I was using this in the ‘good ol’ Commodore 64 days… Well, without the ZIP part, but it worked just the same.
