Program Hides Secret Messages in Executables

DmuZ writes "My friend Rakan has created a new steganographic tool named Hydan which can embed messages into an executable without altering its size. He recently presented this tool to the public for the first time at codecon. This new technique was intriguing enough to get coverage on SecurityFocus.com. The code is available here."

    But what's so amazing about not changing the size? Last time I looked every executable I ever ran through a hexeditor had more 00's than code.

    That is one terrific point.. Unless you just go ahead and RTFA, and figure out that it is not that impossible at all.

    Do you American's think you are the only country that has freedom of speech. You hold up your Bill of Rights as if it is the only document world wide that gives people freedom. It's time some of you stopped being so insular and took a look at how the rest of the world works.

    You are a fucking moron. People realize that other countries have similar legislation, but also typically the concept of privacy is less defined and rigorously protected compared to US interests.

    Your rampant ethnocentrism clearly shows you to be a typically ignorant human with only a modicum of knowledge though. A little knowledge can be dangerous.

    That was the point fucktard.

    This is the kind of shit RPN advocates usually post.

    I figured I'd see how they like stupid examples and fucktardish shit.
