Stegacito

Hide a File inside a PNG image. One pixel = One Byte of data. You can hide in the image image_width x image_height - header_size(265) bytes.

For example a 800x480 image can have 800 x 480 - 265 = 383735 bytes ----> 383.735 kilobytes

Pixel in the image are alterated, 3 bits in the Red and Green and 2 bits in the Blue.
