I forgot to select a directory! can a mod delete my first post please? Thanks!
Before I begin the egg, I’d like to say a few things: I know my eggs aren’t perfect, but if you decide to rate low, please leave a serious suggestion. I’m always open for improvement. Thanks.
Now then…Let’s begin!
Most people know that files and information can be hidden by encrypting it and password locking it, but these methods are complicated and can be broken by anyone determined enough to do so. ( using brute force software and other tools.) But the method you’ll see in today’s egg will make the information near impossible to find by anyone but yourself.
To start, find a file host. I’ll be using filebeam.com.
When you have found the file host of your choice, archive the file you want to hide. To archive a file, Right click on it, select “send to” then select “compressed (zipped) folder”
Let windows do its thing, and when its done, upload the file to your file host (mine was file beam, Remember?) If you used file beam, it will give you a direct link to the file. Copy the link or write it down, after you finish hiding the files, you can burn the paper and delete the link from your copy selection.
For this next step, find any .bmp photo (It should work with other file types, but I have yet to try it. Save the photo to your documents folder or whatever directory you want.
Make sure the picture is saved to your Hard disk. Next right click on the photograph, select “open with” then select “Notepad.” If you don’t see notepad in the list, select “Choose default program” ( if you have vista) or “Browse” (if you have XP) If you have a Mac, go play in traffic. Now find notepad.
Using notepad, select “file” then “open.” In the bottom right of the window that comes up, select “any file type” or “any.”
Once you have opened the picture in notepad, it should look like a bunch of jumbles and random letters/numbers/symbol/things.
Now, Remember that link you saved that went to the file you uploaded? Insert that into the mess of letters and stuff in notepad and save the file.
This renders the picture useless, but it hides the link. Anyone who tries to open the picture will get a message saying that it is corrupted.
And there you go! Don’t forget to burn the paper you wrote the link down on.

food seems to be a good choice, the only problem s you have to get past the people who think that recipe eggs aren’t pranks but but pictures of family vacations with no pranks happening are. As long as its good and original to the extent that it doesn’t seem like you went googled something and then wrote an egg based completely off of speculation from the first hit, you should be pretty safe.
