Steganography | Method to hide a file in another file | Transferring data secretly (Windows And Linux)

Steganography

Steganography is the technique of hiding secret data within an ordinary, non-secret, file or message in order to avoid detection; the secret data is then extracted at its destination. The use of steganography can be combined with encryption as an extra step for hiding or protecting data.( First Definition of Google Search)


The Basic idea behind Steganography is to combine the binary code of two files and put it into a single file.

Suppose we have two files:
1.Any Image File (Let's name it 'name.jpg')
2.Compress your file to zip format: Let's Name it 'compressed.zip'

Now to put both file in single image 'name.jpg' , we will combine the binary code of both the files.

To do this:

1. Linux:
1.Open Terminal

2.change your working directory to the directory where both files are
3.Run following command

    cat name.jpg compressed.zip > secret.jpg

 4.A new file result.png will have created
5.unzip your image with unzip command to get your files.

     unzip secret.jpg


Note: To Zip files in linux use following command:
zip archive-name.zip filename-1.ext filename-2.ext

To Unzip files in linux use following command:

unzip archive-name.zip 

2. Windows:
1.Open CMD
2.change your working directory to the directory where both files are
3.Run following command

    copy /b name.jpg + compressed.zip name.jpg

    Note: /b is used to copy in binary mode

4.Now your image 'name.jpg' size will have increased.
5.Open your image with zip extractor.
Note: Use WinRAR as zip extractor to avoid facing any issue.

Perceptron Algorithm | Pegasos Algorithm | Support Vector Machine | Linear Classifier Among Dataset | Deep Learning | Machine Learning

PERCEPTRON ALGORITHM Perceptron Algorithm is one of the most used algorithm in classifying data.It frequently seems little tough while learning first time. In today's post , We'll try to understand it well in brief with full explanation.  Perceptron Algorithm is used whenever given dataset can be classified into two parts or it has only two labels.(One can consider it as +1, -1) There are three version of Perceptron Algorithm: Simple Perceptron  Average Percepron Pegasos Algorithm or Support Vector  Machine Relax! Terms are sounding dangerous but they are really very easy.Let me explain you. 1.Simple Perceptron: The single target of perceptron algorithm is to find a Linear classifier( say Linear equation) on one side of which are all positively labelled point and on another side all negatively labelled points are there. As we know any linear equation can be written as, Y= θ .X + θ 0 Using Perceptron Our Aim is to find those value of θ vec...

Gradient Descent Algorithm Fully Explained| Machine Learning

GRADIENT DESCENT ALGORITHM When one start Learning For Machine Learning, As a beginner one founds a very complex explanation of Gradient Descent Algorithm and since it is a very important algorithm in machine Learning,understanding it, is also much important. Today , in this article we will try to understand Gradient Descent   in very easy, brief and well explained way. Gradient Descent  is the most common optimization algorithm in  machine learning  and  deep learning . It is a first-order optimization algorithm. This means it only takes into account the first derivative when performing the updates on the parameters. If we start searching for Gradient Descent Algorithm ,we found this picture. Don't panic! Let me explain you z is a cost function of x and y.We have to find those value of x and y for which value of cost function (z) is minimum. If we visualize it, splitted in two part (z VS x for any fix value of y) and (z VS y for any fix value ...

Stochastic Gradient Descent Algorithm Fully Explained | Machine Learning

STOCHASTIC GRADIENT DESCENT STOCHASTIC GRADIENT DESCENT  is an efficient algorithm over GRADIENT DESCENT when it requires to deal with BIG DATA.Where Data are huge STOCHASTIC GRADIENT DESCENT is used. In our Previous post, We already discussed about GRADIENT DESCENT ( Click Here ) very well.In this post, we will try to understand STOCHASTIC GRADIENT DESCENT.  Both are almost same , only difference comes while iterating: In Gradient Descent ,We had four things Feature Vector(X) Label(Y) Cost function(J) Predicted Value( Y p) θ was representing the coefficient/Weightage vector for feature vector,  θ 0   Offset Parameter Y p =θ.X+θ 0 θ new =θ old -(η*∂J/∂θ) The Single Difference between Gradient Descent and Stochastic Gradient Descent comes while iterating: In Gradient Descent ,   We sum up the losses over all the data points given and take average in our cost function, Something like this: J=(1/n)ΣLoss(Y i ,Y p i ) ∂J/∂θ=(1...
