Steganofile : Hide important files in one or more hosts and protect them with a solid password for extra security with the steganography method
Different methods of hiding and securing messages have developed throughout time and with the modern computer these are quite secure, and diverse. One in particular is the practice of hiding messages, and in this case files inside pictures, which is called steganography. You can easily use it with the help of applications like Steganofile.
Use one or more dummy files
The first steps until you benefit from what the application has to offer represent the installation process, which only keeps you busy for a little while. With the main window up you need to choose the process to perform, which can either be encoding or decoding.In order to secure a file, several info fields need to be filled in first. Needless to say that the main requirement is the file you want to hide, with the second, just as important being the host file. You can select multiple hosts in order to have the source split into multiple sections, making it even more difficult to bundle back into a single file without the application.
Password protection, and easy decryption
Destination also needs to be provided, and you can choose to remove the original file once encoding is done. For the process to finish successfully, you need to add a password, which is best remembered to be able to reconstruct the original file.Host files can be of any format, but it’s advisable to select something which isn’t easily editable, such as a picture so that codes don’t scramble to lose, or corrupt the source file. Decoding is done in a similar manner. All resource files need to be provided, as well as the password.
On an ending note
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Steganofile is sure to hide your important files without leaving any traces. The source can be split and added into multiple host files for better security, which is greatly enforced with a password requirement so only you have access to those files.
