How can i call or run a file that is hidden in an image?

[euqaj]

I need to run a hidden file in an image as i open the image or double clicked it. Please help me do this. or Is it possible?

The question is: How was it hidden in the image? You'll have to somehow extract it and for that you'll need to know the program it was hidden by.

Thanks... So I should compress the hidden files before I hide it in the image?

Wait a minute, which way is it - do you have an Image with hidden files in it which you want to get out or do you want to hide files in an image?

If you want to hide files, I'd compress them with a password (e.g. with WinRAR as a RAR or ZIP archive) and then hide that archive in the image. That way, even if someone finds out, there's something hidden in the image, it's much more difficult to get at.

HELLO,
If I am not wrong then you are probably referring to steganography here.

Now as your original question goes, it is impossible to run a hidden file (as you double click the image). Although it may be made possible by coding a program to fulfill your purpose (but I am not sure). To run the hidden file you first need to extract the hidden file and then only you can run (or execute it).

If you want to password-secure the hidden file, then follow as nepomuk advised.


HOPE THIS HELPS.......... ..

thanks nepomuk, We will use this concept the compressions of files... So now we are looking now how to do it automatically with scripts.. the extractions and the application of the password in the rar or zip archive. Do you have ideas about it.? thanks

It depends on how you compress the files. Do you use an own tool for that or will you be using some tool you've downloaded? Is this just a personal project or do you want to go commercial? (Very important, as a lot of free tools are only free for personal use.)

If you want to do this with a script, you'll certainly need an extraction program, that supports command line input. I'm not sure, which ones do that right now, but you can always check the help files (and of course google).
