Hiding Text within an Image

Hiding text within an image file is one of the tricks used in Steganography. Using this trick you can
hide any text information or a message within an image file irrespective of the fact that how long
your information or message is. So, let’s see how to do it.

Follow the steps below

Choose an image file

Place the file in a location that is easily accessible, I have mine in C:\Hidden\

Open the command prompt (windows+R, type cmd, press enter)


Navigate to the directory you have your image file in:

Cd C:\Hidden\

Now we are ready to type into our image file using the following command

Echo “type here your secret message!” >> “the file you want to
use.jpg” then press enter.

Using the “>>” will append the text you have entered to the end of the image file.
If everything was successful you should be able to access the file and the text contained within it if
you open the image up with “notepad”.

As you can see this “Garbage” is the code in which the picture is in,

but if you page down to the very end (as we appended the text to the end of the document”>>”) you
should be able to see our message.
