File Hider 1.0.3 Release Notes
This release enhances the security features of File Hider by introducing compression before encryption and base64 encoding of the encrypted data. These changes not only improve storage efficiency but also reduce the detectability by modern forensic analysis tools.
Changes in 1.0.3
- Pre-encryption compression: Added zlib compression to the data before the encryption process to reduce file size and improve storage efficiency.
- Base64 encoding of encrypted data: Encrypted data is now base64 encoded to ensure safe storage and transfer, as well as to reduce the detectability by forensic tools.
- Forensic detectability reduction: The combination of compression and base64 encoding makes the encrypted files less prone to detection by modern forensic analysis tools.
- Documentation updates: Revised the user documentation to include information about the new security features and their benefits.
- Bug fixes and performance improvements: Addressed minor bugs and optimized the encryption and decryption processes for better performance.
Version 1.0.3 of File Hider brings significant security improvements, making it a more robust solution for protecting sensitive information against advanced detection methods.
1.0.2
File Hider 1.0.2 Release Notes
This update adds command line support to File Hider, allowing users to hide and unhide files without the need for the graphical user interface. This is particularly useful for automation or when working on headless systems.
Changes in 1.0.2
- Added command line support: Users can now hide and unhide files using command line arguments, which is a significant enhancement for those who prefer or require non-GUI operation.
- Enhanced error handling: Improved error messages and handling in both GUI and command line modes to provide clearer feedback in case of issues.
- Performance improvements: Optimizations have been made to the encryption and decryption processes to improve the speed and efficiency of file handling.
- Updated documentation: The README.md file has been updated to include instructions and examples for using the new command line features.
- Minor bug fixes: Addressed a few minor bugs to ensure a smoother user experience.
These updates build upon the solid foundation of File Hider, making it more versatile and user-friendly.
1.0.1
File Hider 1.0.1 Release Notes
This update introduces an improved method for handling filenames during the file hiding and unhiding process, ensuring compatibility with files that do not have an extension.
Changes in 1.0.1
- Unified filename handling: The application now stores the entire filename, including the extension if present, as a single entity. This change simplifies the process and ensures that files without an extension are handled correctly.
- Updated GUI: Reflects the unified filename handling, providing a seamless experience when working with files regardless of whether they have an extension.
- Struct packing and unpacking adjustments: The code has been updated to handle the full filename storage, ensuring accurate data retrieval during the unhide process.
- Optional file renaming: Users are given the option to rename the file before saving it during the unhide process, with the original full filename (including or excluding an extension) provided as the default.
