A modified form of steganography ...
|
|

Not necessarily - the idea of steganography is that you can't tell there is data embedded in the image. From what I read, he's not trying to do that.

Are you referring to an application that uses steganography[^]?
If so, yours truly is in the process (when he gets off his big fat arse) of preparing an application[^], for release, that does this.

It's not intended to hide the data in an existing image. The output image would be only the source data packed into an image so it could be uploaded to an image sharing site or for whatever other purpose you could find.

So the purpose of transforming the data into an image format would be purely so that it can be held on an image sharing site?
I don't get it - what is the advantage of having it on an image sharing site when you could just put it as the original file on dropbox?

Unless I'm missing one of its features, no - but thanks for pointing out this tool, might come in handy some day

I thought the image part on the right side of the screenshot there is exactly that - a binary file depicted as an array of RGBs.

Yes, in a way it is - but the HexEdit-tool doesn't allow you do actually save it as an image and reverse it I think.

I think novel ideas that seem to "fall between the cracks" of existing application -domains are always interesting, even if their immediate practical application does not "jump out at you."
Why not write it up as a CP article ? I think content of how you went about ensuring the file's bunch-of-bits was "packaged" as a valid bit-map file would be of interest, technically, and details of the decoding process might be of value.

While there are some small details to it, it turned out to be rather easy: Basically you can just create a Windows.Drawing.Bitmap with an IntPtr to your whatever-data and then call Bitmap.Save(..). The real value of it would have been a practical application. But I'll keep it in mind and maybe I'll write it up

For what it's worth, many hosts will (re)compress uploaded images. (StackOverflow is just one example) If that happens the image is obviously ruined for this use-case.

Maybe when modulating a binaural wave with a text on some topic you'll learn it subconsciously?

That's my favorite music genre - raw data.

Google drive/docs, and some plugin features of sharepoint do that already. I don't know of a library to replicate that functionality.

I'm not sure I'm getting your point -

A man brought a very limp dog into the veterinary clinic. As he laid the dog on the table, the doctor pulled out his stethoscope, placing the receptor on the dog's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away." "What?" screamed the man. "How can you tell? You haven't done any testing on him or anything. I want another opinion!" With that, the vet turned and left the room. In a few moments, he returned with a Labrador retriever. The Retriever went right to work, sniffing and prodding, checking the poor dead dog out thoroughly. After a considerable amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head and said, "Bark".
The veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few moments with a cat, which also checked out the poor dog on the table. As had his predecessors, the cat sadly shook his head and said, "Meow." He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room. The veterinarian handed the man a bill for $600. The dog's owner went berserk. "$600! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!"
The vet shook his head sadly and explained. "If you had taken my word for it, it would have been $50, but with the Lab work and the cat scan..."
