SOME FACTS ABOUT A USB FLASH DRIVE

SOME FACTS ABOUT  A USB FLASH DRIVE

A USB flash drive is a small portable flash memory card that plugs into a computer's USB port and functions as a portable Hard Drive.
USB flash drives are touted as being easy-to-use as they are small enough to be carried in a pocket and we can plug them into any computer.
USB flash drives have less storage capacity than an external hard drive and smaller in size but they are more durable because they do not contain any internal moving parts.
USB flash drives are also called by a variety of names such as thumb drives, jump drives, pen drives, key drives, or simply USB drives.
You can load up your flash drive with Portable Applications (like Firefox, Java and even some games) that allow you access your favorite Software without having installed it on your computer.
It is possible to create a Bootable Operating System with a USB flash drive and use it when you face a system crash.
We can use a USB flash drive as a key to your computer. This means you can access your computer only when you plug that USB flash drive into your PC. If the USB flash drive is removed, the Pc will automatically lock itself and will not allow access until you plug in the USB flash drive back.

Note: USB stands for Universal Serial Bus

HOW TO HIDE A FILE BEHIND AN IMAGE

HOW TO HIDE A FILE BEHIND AN IMAGE

Hiding a file in an image file is called 'Steganography' . It's a technique in which we can exchange data across the world over internet without using any encryption or decryption method.
What happens actually is we just bind the file (we want to send) with an image file. The actual file becomes hidden within an image file and hence becomes more protected. The image file functions normally as it should(as image).
Even if someone snoop into our network and gets his/her hands on over that image, he/she just can't unbind the actual file hidden within that image until unless he/she knows the exact trick.
Let me show you how to do this in Two Parts:
In Part 1 I will show yoy how you can Hide the Files.
In Part 2 I will show yoy how you can Access the hidden Files.
Follow the steps below carefully.
PART 1: Hiding the File

1. Create a new folder anywhere in your system. For example a folder named "test" in drive D
2. Select all files you want to hide and get them zipped using WinZip or WinRar. Let this file be called
   'hide.rar'.
3. Select an image file like 'ppp.jpg' in which you want to hide your 'hide.rar'.
4. Place both "ppp.jpg" and "hide.rar" into the "test" folder you created in drive D.
5. Open command prompt (press 'Window+R', type "CMD" & press 'Enter' key). Command Prompt window will be opened.
6. In Command Prompt window, navigate to the folder where you placed both 'ppp.jpg' & 'womb.rar' files (Just type "cd folder-path" in this case: "cd D:\test" in Command Prompt).
7. Type following command very carefully:
   copy /b ppp.jpg+hide.rar ppp.jpg.
8. Now you copied "hide.rar" into the image, so go to the folder "test" and delete "hide.rar" so that the folder will have only one file-the "ppp.jpg" image.
9. Well done! You just successfully hide your sensitive files behind an image. If anyone opens the "test" folder will only see the image that acts as any other image & if they open it (by Double Clicking) a normal image will be opened. they will not see your hidden files behind that image. 

PART 2: Accessing the Files
Realize that 'ppp.jpg' is a JPEG extension file. Hence It'll work like any other JPEG image file. But your data 'hide.rar' is still hidden within it.
If you want to access your hidden files, you need to extract them from the image.
Two methods can be used to extract your hidden files:
Method 1:

• Simply right-click on "ppp.jpg" and select "Open With Winrar".
• You will see all your files there.
• Just Click on "Extract To" select a folder where all files will be extracted.
• That`s all You will find all the files extracted.

Method 2:

• Change the extension from 'ppp.jpg' to 'ppp.rar'.
• Then, double-click to open it.
• Now You can see 'hide.rar' zipped file there. Just extract the files using the steps in method 1 and you will find all your files.
