Hide Data Or Message Inside Another File With OpenPuff

Steganography is the art and science of concealing information in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient knows the existence of a hidden message on the visible message. You can have your own Steganography using a free and portable application called OpenPuff. This program hides data into other files, called carriers. Modified carriers will look like the original ones, without any obvious changes. It is recommend to use videos, images and audio files as carriers since these are commonly used and shared files. To conceal data, just run OpenPuff, and click Hide from the main screen.



From the Data Hiding screen, (1) Enter the password you want to use to hide the data, (2) Select the file you want to hide, (3) Choose the carrier/s where the hidden file will reside, (4) Select the Bit Options, And lastly hit Hide button to start the hiding process.



To retrieve your hidden data, from that main screen click Unhide. On the Data Unhiding screen, (1) Enter your password, (2) Select the carrier/s (3) then hit Unhide button. Aside from Hiding data, OpenPuff can also sign a file with your copyright mark (best known as Watermarking). Unlike the ordinary watermark on images, your copyright mark will be invisible but accessible by everyone (using this program).

It works on any Windows OS version. I tested it with Windows 7 Ultimate Edition.
