Posted by saad alti

In other words, we will be seeing a rise in Mac hackers very soon. I have seen lots of "How to hide..." tutorials, but they are all for Windows machines. Here is a post about how to hide yor files in .jpg images on a Mac:
1. You will need two files. One, of course, being the .jpg image and the other being an .rar or .zip file.
2. Place both files on your Desktop (or just in the same directory).

3. Open Terminal and type the following:
4. Then, hit Return (Enter) and type this:
This will make a "concatenated" file composing of "image.jpg" and "file.rar" named "newimage.jpg" on your Desktop. The new file will look like the orginal image file but if you change it's extension from ".jpg" to ".rar", you can extract the contents of the orginal .rar file.
