S-tools (the software used by malwares(Terrorists))

S-tools a stenography tool which allows you to hide any kind of message within a photo.
This came into prominence when it is known that the terrorists of mumbai attack used this to communicate .
This is actually a tool which takes input a photo and a text file that contains the message as input and produces a photo which is exactly same as that of the input photo ,but the ouput photo contains the hidden data.
This was a challenge for indian officers initially they took more period to find any clue from the photograph.After few days they have found that s-tools is a software used to hide the message in photograph.
It is too difficult for a human eye to disting between actual photo and photo that has hidden data.
Lets see how to use it actually:
