Hide Files Within a Image File

All of us have some private data that we wish shouldn't be viewed by others.Even though we protect by making data invisible or locking with some softwares(we can lock without softwares too), our data is not entirely secure. Reason is, there are also softwares for cracking the passwords and some tricks by using which we can view the hidden data.
So what we need is some sought of a technique where only the author of the data knows how to view the data and for others some thing else sholud be displayed.This is known as Steganography.

STEGANOGRAPHY is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message.Want more then Click Here.

Here is an example.I'm going to show how we can hide files within a image file.

1)First,make an archieve of the files you want to hide.(you require file compression softwares like Winrar or Winzip)

2)Let the name of the archieve be "hidefiles.rar".

3)Select an image file say "img. jpg".

4)Make sure that both the files("hidefiles.rar" and "img.jpg") are in same directory.Say in C:\ Drive.

5)Now,go to Start>Run>cmd and in command prompt go to "C:\" drive.
(for this just type "cd \" and hit enter).

6)Type "copy /b img.ipg+hidefiles.rar new.jpg" (without quotes).

That's it,now go to C:\ drive in Mycomputer and you will see a image file named "new.img".If you open it img.jpg will be opened but with increased size.

To View the files, right-click on "new.jpg">>open with>>choose program>>select Winrar Archieve.

Explanation:Here the copy command merges the 2files in binary mode.It doesn't even corrupt the encoded image file.

Yahoo Messenger Exiting Problem

Ever been to a situation where you try to login with yahoo messenger and the messenger window simply disappears from the screen after typing username and password?

If so then your system is affected by "backdoor/Trojan amvo.exe".This problem is most commonly heard now a days.

Some Info about the trojan:
"amvo.exe" is bundled with several other worms/files, some of them are
1)80avp08.com
2)dosocom.com
3)usdeiect.com
4)xfoolavp.com
5)autorun.inf
6)Nideiect.com
7)u.bat... etc

These files are stored on the directories i.e. C:\, D:\ etc. and also on C:\windows\system32\amvo.exe

You wouldn't be able to delete any of these files and not even in Safe mode because it adds a autorun registry which loads amvo on boot.

Solution:

1)When i personally experienced this problem..i've just restored my system to a previous date.It worked for me.(For restoring you need to set a restore point earlier).

2)Only some Antivirus can detect this trojan.I heard that kaspersky caught this trojan and deleted it.(Personally i don't know but one of my friend told me).

3)Now if both above doesn't work out..Do as said

KILL all the processes like AMVO.exe or AVPO.exe(Task Manager>Processes)
Type "msconfig" (without quotes) in run and press Enter.
Go to startup tab and uncheck any entry on amvo.

Type "regedit" without quote in run and press Enter.
Press Ctrl+F and type amvo, do the search again and again and delete all the related entries.
Press Ctrl+F and type u.bat, do the search again and again and delete all the related entries.
Press Ctrl+F and type amva, do the search again and again and delete all the related entries.
Do the search for all the above listed files
(Generally you find all of them in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Sh

ared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg\amva)

Now do this carefully..
Type "cmd" without quote in run
type "d:" and then press Enter
type autorun.inf and then press Enter
find the name of the virus from a file which opens in notepad. This would have the name of the .exe/.bat/.com file in it, which is mounted at the boot time.

Search in the registry(run>regedit) for this file name which was entered in autorun.inf and delete all entries.

Now restart the computer. and do the followings

Go to regedit and then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
Double click on the entry called CheckedValue and replace the 0 with 1.

Almost done..Go to My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>View> Show hidden files
Now perform a search for all the malicious files above and delete them and also search for files like amvo0.dll, amvo1.dll etc.

Restart Again and your system should be free of trojan now.

Note:Use the source at you own risk.Donot save the file with .exe extension
