How NOT to HIDE files

"Just put the file on a flash drive and hide it" - The most reliable

[@markusTegelane]

5:25 i know that's the joke, but the real reason the files were gone was because they were overwritten by Recuva itself, since OP installed that data recovery tool on the same drive, which the files were originally on always, always check that you're not accidentally overwriting files if you are seriously trying to recover data this way

[@Lampe2020]

Tip for hiding data in a PNG file: stuff it right at the end, after all the original data. To hide multiple files in there, just put a zip archive with the files in it at the end of the PNG. 7-Zip will still recognize it as a valid archive and image programs will still recognize it as a valid image. But the problem of losing your data to editing the image is still there.

[@BetaMaster2]

Put the files on a ZIP disk. Nobody has a ZIP drive anymore, so it will never be found!

[@saveliyivanov9943]

It is better to use punch cards

[@FlyTechVideos]

I actually have a ZIP disk at home, but no drive. I don't know what's on it

[@halfhalf622]

Hiding the files on obscure media is actually not a bad idea. ZIP isn't obscure enough, though. How about a SuperDisk, or a Jaz disk, or a Ditto disk, or a magneto-optical disc? The rarer it is and the more it looks like more common media, like CD-ROM, the better.

Best way to hide files: Tar them, modify the magic number so it doesn’t extract, encrypt it using AES, hide it at the back of a jpeg, rename it to C2827 or something and copy it to System32, so it blends in with those.

[@mitrillov]

Maybe not the most secret approach. If your files are large enough, jpeg file so big would be absolute sus Yes, AES will provide security, but not obscurity

[@AccSwtch50]

Nah, just rename it to something resembling a system file in system32.

[@xplayerfireone]

if you end up with a big file just put it in a game directory and rename the extension to match the other huge binary game files.

The magic bytes aren't gonna match the dll magic, or at least the file format. I watched a talk at defcon on exactly how not to hide stolen files, and renaming the extension itself isn't enough.

Create a folder called "TOP SECRET" and move your files in this folder then make a program that opens the folder you've created and Set the program to AutoStart, so when the CIA turn on your computer, they will find the files. Pro Tip: Put the files on the desktop and make the desktop icons big

[@terasinn1]

i will definitely be using this to hide my uhh... war files..

[@Lampe2020]

16:14 Well, there is an option for .7z files to even encrypt the file list, making it impossible to even see what files are in there without knowing the password. And makes it a bit more convenient for the CIA to open because they don't have to find two passwords but only one.

Step 1: as you said add FF and FE at the start of txt file by hex editor Step 2: convert that hex editor code into UTF codes (without utf) Step 3: paste the utf code file in a txt file Step 4: open this txt file in hex editor Step 5: take this hex code and put in txt file(name:A) Step 6: create a html file (which has h0r9y/s3xy/bad images) named "private" or "h0rny" photos thing Step 7: put this file in folder Step 8: disguise this folder into "Microsoft edge" Step 9: open that html file and edit the code and put that text from txt file(A) out the tag so that html will run perfectly Step 10: eat almond daily so that you won't forget the reverse steps

[@August0Moura]

*attrib +s +h* marks the file as "hidden system file", it hides it even with the option to show hidden files

Show protected system files (Not Recommended)

I had that in the video as well but I cut it out because it was not significantly different than the regular hide flag and I didn't wanna bore you

Get the game "outcore" and get to the point where they create a folder with a bunch of paths, rename the file to a bunch of gibberish letters, then just put it in one of the many branching file paths. Works for me!

[@Internat-doener-federation]

18:34 you can use the expand command to do get it to work. And don't do the $data after there!😅

[@Swagmaster07]

How to give CIA a headache : Have a normal PC with like 20+ games, that should be normal, hide the files in one of those games or spread them out, have some sort of physical reminder for them IRL or on some other device. Good luck mr. CIA looking trough all of those games. You could also maybe disguise those as mods, or make them replace existing files in the game that are not very important. This is pretty easy if you are a gamer.

[@trivu1110]

Make a folder maze with 8 layers deep (each having 10) and at the 8th layer, there are 2 zips files and in one of all the zip files, there are your files. To make it even more hidden, mark it ALL as hidden and make it transparent and alt+255 name and you're done

[@butlazgazempropan-butan11k87]

18:30 cant you just change the file extension to txt and and change it back when you want to read it ,?

[@KingBowserLP]

Windows might be mangling non-printable symbols, in which case renaming the file does nothing.

[@UltraKen89]

6:29 at least the tech people will know because it isnt a shortcut to the folder

[@zboredskilled]

Better suggestion: Change you desktop background to have a red circle in the middle, then put the files inside a folder and put the folder in the middle of the desktop where the red circle is.

[@protoncracker_xp]

18:43 not true. Although it is true that no known windows-native command can manipulate the data streams in such a way, others can. Like Python. And you need to use the command `type` to fully write this kinds of codes (oh, certutil works. Just tested. But is it a native command? It's an .exe though. You just need to encode to b64 then decode the encoded file/output to the image file.) For instance: type secrets.jpg > secrets.txt:sct python: with open('secrets.txt:sct', 'rb') as ads: data = ads.read() Done. The secrets are in "data". Now to decompress you can either just print data straight, or use: with open('secrets2.jpg', 'wb') as img: img.write(data) Done. You certainly can find some windows command that can fully extract the correct contents from the datastream, but the usual ones (copy /b, more, type, echo) don't work. I'd say workarounds using windows native .exe files may work, like chkdsk, copy, printing schemas, and, of course, certutil.
