a steganography program for the pc
To run hideseek, just type "hideseek" at the c> prompt and away
you go. hideseek is a dos program. i don't know what will happen if you
try to run it under windows--i never have.
Once in hideseek, you are presented with the main screen. You may
use the mouse (if you have one) to click in any double-bordered box or on
any button, or just type a highlighted letter to select an option. The
options are:
Gif file: select the gif file to use for both hiding and
seeking data. If you are hiding, you will
eventually be asked for a name for the output
gif file. GREYSCALE GIFS WORK BEST FOR HIDING
Data file: select the data file. This file will either be
hidden, if you choose to hide data, or will
be the name of the output file if you are
seeking data. Note that it must be empty
if it is to be an output file.
Key : input a key to lock data in the file. This key
encrypts the header hideseek uses with the
IDEA algorithm, although it does NOT encrypt
the data at all. This function is usefull
if you want to make it hard for people to
get your data out....no key, no seek.
to use NO KEY click the No Key radio button.
this will clear the key for you. if this
button is not selected you are using a key
wether you see one or not!!! it will also
say "(none)" in the key box if you are not
using a key (or if your key is "(none)"---
you know who you are).
notice that the key box will blink after
you hide data, to remind you of having used
a key. you can get rid of this blinking by
pressing No Key or entering a new key.
No Key : clears the key and the key input box. this is a
radio button and will automatically clear
if you enter a key....if the button is not
selected, you have a key. see above.
Browse : takes you to a file browsing screen documented
later.
View : shows you the gif file you have selected.
Read : shows you the data file you have selected.
Quit : quits the program.
Hide : hides the data file in the gif file. asks for a
name for an output gif file.
Seek : looks for data in the gif file and writes it to
the data file....the data file must be empty.
The browse screen has a bunch of functions for looking through your
directories for files:
The File box lets you enter a file path and name. You can use it to
change disk and directory and select a file mask or select
a file.
the Directory box lets you look through your direcory tree. You may
press ESCAPE to leave the box without making a choice.
the drive box lets you change drives.
the mask buttons let you select a file mask, which will affect what
the directory display shows.
the "load/view as" selector lets you decide to load or view a given
file as a Gif or a Data file.
the View button shows you the file you have selected. the button
is sensitive to the load/view As button
the Load button loads the file and returns you to the main screen
the Quit button returns you to the main screen without loading any
file.
HideSeek can be pretty slow for large gif and/or data files. Please be
patient. I apologize for the slowness.
HideSeek will make an output gif (if you are hiding) that matches the DISPLAY
size, not the original GIF size. annoying, but that's life (more specifically
that's the fastgraph graphics toolbox.) note that because of this the WHOLE
display including the black area around your gif gets used in the hiding
process and IS a part of the new gif....DO NOT RESIZE!!!!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR HIDESEEK TO BE REALLY USEFULL, YOU _MUST_ USE GREYSCALE GIFS. color
gifs are just too obvious.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
hideseek 5.0 is completely backwards compatible with HideSeek 3.5 and later.
files hidden with these earlier version can be extracted with this version,
but not, of course, vice versa.

HIDESEEK and IDEA are freeware and i am an amateur. they are tested as
well as i have been able to test them, are as safe as i can make them,
and i am confident that they are robust. NEVERTHELESS, you may only use
them at your own risk. i cannot and will not be responsible for lost
data.
