How to Hide Top-Secret Data in Photos

Jason logged onto Brian's computer to look up Brodyquest but he couldn't move the mouse without accidentally clicking on something lewd, improper, embarrassing, or incriminating. It's time Brian learned how to hide files inside of other files, for you know, safekeeping.

These are my FAVORITE kind of episodes, couldn't click fast enough. Anything to do with espionage, hacking, hiding things in plain sight.

225 GB drive, 3 GB free. Brian & Jason, you guys are monsters

[wamatt]

So I got to the Hitler part, went and read the synopsis of Contact, then watched the whole movie. Then came back and watched the rest of this video. Thank you, @TheModernRogue, for finally convincing me to watch a movie that I think might be in my top 10 favorite of all time now.

One of the best case uses for this kind of technology is copyright, all public images that you don't want copied and you want to take said thief to court you can prove they stole it.
Also for pre release material, if the director, the producer and editor of a movie, all got a different copy of the same movie, and they all had a different embedded image, then when one of the copies gets leaked you can find out who leaked it.

everyone picking up on the empty "gross porn" folder, not as many looking at the "quit snooping" "and go to" "the modernrouge" cmon brushwood, we know to look for these things by now :D

30 seconds in and my impression of jason murphy being the greatest treasure america has ever given to mankind grows even stronger

[gitlitwitit]

to whoever edits these videos: I Appreciate You

[HomoSapiens]

Hacking the system:
Brian is all knowing teacher, Jason is clueless student

Modern Rogue:
Jason is all knowing teacher, Brian is clueless student

I looked at the thumbnail and thought what is a Steganog Raphy.

[Souliset]

The Modern Rogue is Cicada 3301 confirmed.

Two things - 1. Welcome back, Jason murphys beard.
2. We used to do it in the 90s with the simple DOS binary command of "append" in pictures. The process is simple if you know DOS. Sadly computer users now depend too much on the software and less on themselves.

[wug]

All hail the return of Jason's mighty beard!

[veggai]

Jason: I had sex with a dinosaur
Me: oh god barny

[JoseMarquezLam]

I'm going to take this and write a tutorial for people in Venezuela.

Thank you for doing this!

I just noticed that at 8:18 when he types "great ideas incoded" the first thing that pops up is "GROSS PORN".
I love this channel.

At one time magic instructions use to be delivered as packing material to keep anyone not in magic from seeing it. So a magician may order a "How To" set of instructions and he may receive a cheap vase with paper wadding to protect it in shipping and in the paper wadding he finds the instructions. This was found in the Tarbell books of magic.

I tried to learn about this a couple of months ago.

It never really occurred to me that this is exactly your type of video, but of course it is!

Thanks.

Me: hears *doctor who related stuff*
Brian: I'm super stoked...
Me: *inhales air while making dinosaur noise*
