masquerading Files as Jpeg

[kree]

Maybe his script is "kiddie script" that he cut and pasted from some haxor site. Think about it, if he had wrote such a great script wouldn't or shouldn't he know something about stenography?

ABDUS IS A FED!!

I would agree but I can't see his shoes :D

[blauman]

Abdus, state your reasons, make your case clear and sound. I would like to hear what you have to say about that. What your script does?

Well if you tell me how to implement the idea I suggested I will give you the script source.

You don't get it. We don't NEED to give you the information. We have the information, but unless you are willing to provide the information we requested why should we provide the methodology to you?

... you'd be safer in the hands of the cops than a goon!

I agree with astcell... it would be safer with the cops... even in California. :)

heh

Well, a nice program for stenography would be...uh, i think its called Butter Fly, anywho its free-ware and it comes with teh book.

"Steal This Computer Book 2" author Wallace Wang. Tons of programs. Free-ware, Share-ware, trial. The program works well. The books sold at Barnes and Nobles. A real nice GUI, user freindly.

-enjoy

Now if you do illegal stuff here they may report you, but you'd be safer in the hands of the cops than a goon!

I have to disagree, I think that I'd be just fine in the hands of Kitty to be honest...

Quirk-

You only need worry about the fibbies, MI falls under Posse Commitatus so don't worry about them, they gotta have fun too. Now if you do illegal stuff here they may report you, but you'd be safer in the hands of the cops than a goon!

quick suggestion. name the file "whatever.jpg.vbs" (the .vbs should already have been there). then simply open up explorer and go to tools->folder options->view and make sure the box that says "hide file extensions for known file types" is checked off. the only problem with this is the file will appear to be a .vbs in every other way except the file extension (and maybe the icon as well should you decide to change it). it will only work on systems that have that option enabled. this is just one of the reasons i love *nix heh....

I have to agree that it would work, till you run across antivirus software that is lame and looks at extensions and flags *.jpg.vbs as a loveletter or SST variant, then deletes them without warning. Spreading anything through a file sharing network wont work either, many of the new clients ignore multiple extensions like that, just so people dont get infected.

I too am quite curious as to why you won't divulge what it does Abdus, so I'll take this time to convey my thoughts into plain english:

A) if its malicious, you're not getting help from me
B) if you're hiding 200GB of donkey pr0n from your wife/mob/whoever, you're a sick and sad fuck
C) if you have a real legit reason for doing something like that, tell us so we can understand. Acting shady just adds doubt to the situation...to quote my favorite Italian axiom.... "If you're skating on thin ice, skate fast"

If you care to explain in detail what you are talking about i might be able to explain, so please try again without the swearing and cursing.

An answer requires intel gathering, and those of us who post here(from what I have seen to this point) have enough common sense not to give a detailed layout of how to help a virus proliferate. I feel that is the reason you're asking, so I'm calling you on it - post and prove me wrong with a flowchart of this script you seem to be a bit too excited to have hidden....

ABDUS IS A FED!!

I wouldn't doubt it, military intelligence is the biggest oxymoron this planet has ever heard.

Quirk the outspoken (and under the influence of tequila)

[veruus]

ABDUS IS A FED!!

That is all...

Get a dictionary kid.

[Sparks-Kelly]

I would Like to know What it does too. That is if you'll tell freely.

[Abdus]

Hey oversight i dont know what your problem is, and i dont know how i am biting the hand that is feeding me???, that aside i dont think going around being an internet hardman is going to help.

If you care to explain in detail what you are talking about i might be able to explain, so please try again without the swearing and cursing.

Best regards.

[Abdus]

Thank you for that really intelligent contribution, the substance of your arguement reflects upon you as being a very educated person.

Thanks for being so understanding.

[Abdus]

Well if you tell me how to implement the idea I suggested I will give you the script source.

[Grifter]

I'm with highwizard on this one. I want to know what the script does before I tell you how to do it. Explain it so we believe you.
