In a recent experiment, security researcher Dаvіd Вucһаnаn created a JPEG image of Shakespeare that also included a RARed copy of his complete works in HTML format. Buchanan went on to further show that this image could also be uploaded to Twitter, which would create a thumbnail that continued to contain the embedded RAR file.

Вucһаnаn was able to do this by creating a script that converted the multi-part RAR file into an ICC profile, which was then embedded into a picture of Shakespeare. ICC profiles are data fields in an image that detail the characteristics and color of an input device, so that the colors are displayed properly when outputted.

When asked if he tested this method to distribute malware, he felt it would be more useful as a way of sending secret messages.

Extracting it using 7-zip works just fine. I would be interested to know, how to hide files within images, how to create a file like this.

copy /b <name of the image file>.<extension> + <name of the archive>.<extension> <target filename>.<extension>

/b parameter specifies that the files are copied in their binary form.
