Images/videos file with bad text metadata inside #1
Description
Just to keep in memory:
- Create a text file with your message, say "message.txt"
- Now choose target file (it can be any file like a.jpg,a.png,a.exe,..etc), say "image.jpg"
- Now execute follwing command:
$ copy /b "image.jpg"+"message.txt" "NewImage.jpg"
You can see an example of this by opening an image or video file as text (I used for eg: $ vi example.mp4 - see the red square)
The image above is a gif downloaded from Telegram desktop and directly saved as .mpg file.
This is very very bad!
