There is a pretty old trick used to write some hidden texts as secretmessage in an image file. In other words, you can embed the secretmessage in the photos and share them on Facebook, hoping that onlysomeone special will know about that secret texts.
Sounds like a professional trick of spy agent, but it is not absolutelyuseful for keeping secrecy – the security force could easily decodethat in no time. But, let’s see how to do that little spy trick for fun:-)
Steps to embed and hide secret message in a photo
1) Open the image file with Notepad++ (a versatile text editor andsource code editor freeware to replace Notepad bundled with Windows),
2) Scroll to the bottom of image file content and add in the secret message,
3) Save the editing,
4) Send the image via email or share it on Flickr, Facebook, etc,
5) Guide the recipients to “decode” the message, i.e. open the said image file again in Notepad++
That is so simple to hide a message in image file, right? Have fun.
