Greetings everyone!
Yes, we've been busy! We have released P2Stego (steganography) and we would love to hear constructive comments/feedback/anything...
http://P2Labs.com

Do you need to send a secret message to someone? Do you want to store information on your machine away from prying eyes and yet right under their noses? P2Stego is for you! P2Stego allows you to store messages inside bitmap files (*.bmp). Only people using P2Stego and knowing the correct password will be able to retrieve the information.

More information from Wikipedia here.

Thanks in advance...

Hey this sounds like a pretty cool app, i will give it a try.

Enjoy - let me know if it's not up to par...

Your message was "p2stego could be useful, specially when i become a spy like James Bond!"
What's even surprising is you can open the file in an image editor and save it out and the information is still there (as long as it's not modified of course).

Glad you like it - perhaps i should start embedding a message in my avatar...

I forgot one more thing.
If you want to run it from a USB key/device - you only need the executable. All files have been merged into a single assembly. No DLLs, registry settings, configuration files - nada. Great for a "portable" release...

Yeah it's a pretty neat app, my only annoyance with P2Stego is that when inputting the password to reveal a message the enter button doesn't work,you have to click on the "reveal message" button. putting the password and then just pressing enter would be faster in my opinion. Oh and it's very nice that it's portable.

On my list of mods to do tomorrow - I knew I forgot the default button actions!
Much appreciated - will change and re-release.
Check the site tomorrow evening and it will be there for you (plus some new features too maybe)...

Okay, thanks! by the way i have a couple of questions. First does P2Stego works with all Windows versions? and second does it require the .net framework to run?

P2Labs · « **Reply #9 on:** April 06, 2009, 11:41 PM »

I've tested it on XP, Vista & Windows 7 (latest release).
It does use the .NET framework though...

yasa is at another web address

Yes, was just looking for it myself... no download links on that page either.

BTW, here's a link to a good resource on Steganography Software

cmpm · « **Reply #17 on:** April 07, 2009, 05:14 AM »

wow, there's quite a few!

btw, joining assembla.com doesn't give any more,
download links,
but one can start their own page of what they offer

cmpm · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2009, 05:47 AM »

Most are dead links and cost is a factor for the rest.
Couldn't find a simple free one.
But I got tired of looking too.....

P2Labs · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2009, 12:17 PM »

Now you've got one...

Updated to release 1.0.1 to support default action of "Reveal" button once file and password selected/entered...
