At the Hack in the Box conference in Amsterdam, a computer security researcher has present Stegosploit, a tool that allows to hide malicious code in an image.
Imagine, you are just surfing when suddenly the machine goes crazy! Malicious code has just been installed and you have an antivirus software up to date. An image displayed by a website that you came to visit just launched the attack. Science fiction? Not with evidence Saumil Shah, a security researcher.
The engineer explained at the conference (HiP) Hack In The Box that hackers were certainly trying to exploit his discovery. The idea, to hide malicious code in an image using steganography (hiding information into another document, NDR). Shah research came out Stegosploit, a software that code in Javascript a malware software in the pixels of an image in JPEG or PNG format.
