Can you hide things in images?
 

When you create an image, can you hide something in it that would return results when you search for it. so you can see what domains have your picture on them.

Just curious.

I vaguely recall something about Suze Randall using some sort of spider algorithm that searched for her own original images after the Max Sheridan/Reactor infringement case.

But I don't know if that was simply a bluff...or a real capability.

yes, you can create invisible watermarks... there are photoshop plugins and other software that does that...

worried about all the non-public domain content owners finding your handywork?

yes, that's it. you nailed it again little boy.

Thankfully pirates never change filenames...otherwise we'd be in REAL trouble.

I was just trying to think of a way to find those forums that everyone talks about posting all of their member's area. might be a little program worth some $$$ to resell... :2 cents:

I think I remember something about writing in the image code, while I was really into hacking and stuff. lol But cant remember shit now!

....I beleive that it's true! I tried it once.. you can hide some infos in a pic and when you want other to read you give them a code or something and they can encode it!!

invisible watermarks? never heard of that before

Yes.
It's called steganography - and it's been around for literally hundreds of years.
Essentially, it's the science / art of concealing something in another.

Dating back hundreds of years ago with artists putting paintings inside, behind, and in paintings [...davinci code anyone] - modern implementations include hiding text within text and datafiles [IE, on fat 32, a cluster is 32kb. When you save a file smaller than 32kb, an entire cluster is taken, but the remainder is empty - and this can be used to store 'hidden' data], or the classic of storing something within an image.

For example-

Grab a copy of:
http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/en/steganote.htm

Download

Use the password 'gofuckyourself' - and preseto.

Data within data.

There are many implementations of similar software - files in images just happens to be the most impressive / dramatic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography might prove interesting.

Doesn't surprise me :thumbsup

digimark?

reading.. thanks

digimark is to stegonography what a dying sapling is to a forest.

Sorry, the analogy just made me giggle.
Thanks for the lesson. :thumbsup

You can embed copyright & other info with photoshop & pretty nuch any photo/image editor.


You can also change the file type to .txt & you'll see code & you can add a searchable string at the top in a comment tag then change it back to the original file type

that seems reasonable too. thanks

What exactly are you trying to do?

Cool, thanx...checkin' it out.

He wants hidden information embedded inside the image so he can use google & search for the string & see who is using his images.

that would be a nice tool to have when/if I ever open advertisingsex.com

too bad none of the suggestions here come even close to what you are looking for. typical gfy.

And that was a fucken helpfull post wasn't it. :321GFY

Just re-read your question.

I'd suggest using EXIF data. Although it can be read / removed by most, I have a suspicion that search engines use this in their results (others can verify) - and languages like PHP have inbuilt support for reading / writing exif data.

It would be no stretch to code a script that automatically spidered google / yahoo images and auto read / checked EXIF data on matching images.

this program -> http://www.miltonsoft.com/

can find really obscure images. I don't know how it works but from what I understand it works really well. might wanna look into it.

can you point me in the right direction?

You're such a jackass. Don't you have some situps to do or something?

thanks for the replies. seems there are a few choices.

google can detect words written on pics if they are visible , it takes awhile for google to add your images but try this make a nice clean white pic and put a search term not found n google images in the pic then link to it with different words on a page frequently spidered by google , then wait , it will find the words. so using that , you should be able to add some text in the corner ( but it would have to be visible text ) on a porn pic and it should find it.. i suggest doing some tests with opacity on text or such on some demo blanks and see what google can see and what they cant , it might be possible to hide small words in random places so it wouldnt hinder the image and have google detect it

Doesn't Matrix do this? I see their little text in the bottom rt corner of all their images.

I should have just icq'd you. :)

Yeh, I've seen that.
