Hide File In Image

Hide File In Image

How Can We Hide The File In Image.
1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. I will be using C:\New Folder
-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as xyz.jpg-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt
2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)
3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd
4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typingcd location [ex: cd C:\New Folder]
5. Type [copy /b xyz.jpg + secret.rar xyz.jpg] (remove the brackets)
Congrats, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file.
In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take
a) Change the file extension from xyz.jpg to xyz.rar, then open and your file is thereb) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there

Avast community forum hacked, user names and passwords stolen

Antivirus firm Avast said it took its community forum offline following a hacking attack compromised its database.


User names, email addresses,nick names and passwords were compromised in this attack.  The breach did not involve any financial data, license or any other data
While the passwords are hashed(one way encryption), it will not take much time for a hacker to crack the hashes. The longer the password, the harder it is to crack.

According to Avast blog post, the security breach affects less than 0.2% (about 400,000) of Avast's 200 million users.

People who uses the same password on other websites are advised to change those passwords immediately.

Until now, their forum used an open source community software called "Simple Machines Forum(SMF)".  It appears the Avast is using an outdated version of SMF.



Avast said it is now "We are now rebuilding the forum and moving it to a different software platform" which will be secure one.

HEART BLEED BUG EXPLOTATION

HEART BLEED BUG



The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

What leaks in practice?
We have tested some of our own services from attacker's perspective. We attacked ourselves from outside, without leaving a trace. Without using any privileged information or credentials we were able steal from ourselves the secret keys used for our X.509 certificates, user names and passwords, instant messages, emails and business critical documents and communication.
How to stop the leak?
As long as the vulnerable version of OpenSSL is in use it can be abused. Fixed OpenSSL has been released and now it has to be deployed. Operating system vendors and distribution, appliance vendors, independent software vendors have to adopt the fix and notify their users. Service providers and users have to install the fix as it becomes available for the operating systems, networked appliances and software they use.
