How to Hide Data in Images: Steganography for Ethical Hacking

In this video, we explore steganography—the technique of hiding data within other files. You’ll see how attackers can conceal messages, password files, scripts, and even malware inside seemingly innocent images, all while bypassing antivirus, Data loss protection, Intrusion detection systems, and other security controls. We’ll walk through how steganography is used in ethical hacking and penetration testing to simulate data exfiltration, deliver hidden payloads, or avoid detection. Plus, you'll learn how to uncover hidden data using tools like Steghide and Stegcracker.

If you're interested in enhancing your cybersecurity skills, especially in ethical hacking, this video will show you how steganography plays a critical role in real-world attack simulations.

Only channel that actually tries to do it step by step. To many channels just generalize and expect that you know. I'm totally new to linux and It's terminal. So stuff lije this is so helpfull .

You have a sub.

Recently, i watch a Documentary on Cicada 3301 and here it is Steganography Tutorial

[ведмідь-зх]

hey, not bad vid; quite simple in details and explanations i'd loved to see a small introduction in steganography but cool anyway. keep up the good work.

OMG, so it is possible! I asked this question about a year ago. So fine to see an answer!

I came here for your rice… I usually prefer the Arch Linux, Hyprland, Waybar rice. But Kali Linux with that background looks amazing as well!

[comosaycomosah]

Oooh very cool ive heard alot about this but never seen it done and explained so simply

[unknownboi]

Can you please make a video about "A day in the life lf a Hacker/Cybersecurity Professional".



I know its quite off topic, but try something different to reach out to news audience.

Already build the system for this and its about to go public.
