Cloak
Cloak v3.0 is a powerful steganography program used to disguise and hide files in bitmap pictures. Files hidden with Cloak v3.0 are not only undetectable, but uncrackable as well. Cloak v3.0 uses advanced technology to protect files including 128-bit blowfish encryption, optimized compression, and password protection of files. Bitmap pictures containing hidden files are fully functional, and are identical to the original bitmap picture. You can disguise any file type with Cloak v3.0 including exe files. Our Review: It looks high-tech. It's very minimalist. It does an excellent job. Cloak allows you to embed any file into a bitmap file - thus encrypting it in a form that is virtually undetectable (and therefore crack-safe). I was ready to complain that Cloak has limitations on the size of the file to be encrypted, but once I had performed a trial run I realised that this is because Cloak does not alter the file size of the original bitmap - all data is encrypted as tiny pixels in the actual picture. This differs from other inferior encyptors that simply attach a file to the end of the picture file, thus ballooning a tiny picture into an easily-detectable 4 meg file! Cloak uses 128-bit Blowfish encryption and, in my trial, was able to encrpyt a file up to 60% of the original picture-file size. In the end, I was impressed with the covert nature of Cloak - and would consider it very trustworthy.
