Want to hide encrypted files in other files?

Have you ever tried to email an application? or maybe you wanted to send personal information via email, but you are afraid that it ends up in the wrong hands?

Sending encrypted information across the internet is called steganography. I have tried out a lot of programs that claim to encrypt data and store it in another file, but all of them have short comings like some can only support small files, others can only encrypt a text file.
I have come across 1 tool that can do all this and more! it is called StegoMagic and you can download it here:

How it works:
You first have to unzip the program to a file of your choice like example c:\StegoMagic\.
When you unzip the package you will see three files, two programs "StegoMagic_bin.exe" and "StegoMagic_txt.exe", and also a text file named "instructions.txt"
Copy both the files you want to use to the same folder as StegoMagic, eg. if you want to encrypt and save a file named "info.docx" in another file named "encrypt.txt", you have to copy both files to where StegoMagic is saved. The file names and sizes don't matter.

Read through the text file for complete instructions on how to use it. after you are done you can send your final file to who ever you want to, all they need is the encryption key generated during the process (saved in a text file in the same folder) and they also need StegoMagic to decrypt and view the file you sent them.

If you have ever tried to email an application, you will know that most email clients don't allow this no matter how hard you try to conceal the file, with StegoMagic this won't be a problem, all you have to do is encrypt the application in a text file, or any other file for that matter, then you just send the file and your email client won't even know you are sending a application.
