In this article we present 5 programs to hide files and documents in video, so you can extract the hidden messages with the same environment used to hide them.
With these steganography tools, a user who doesn't know about the hidden message will watch the video and never notice the hidden file or document.

Hidden files will be protected with passwords, and the same password will be used to extract the hidden documents. The environment includes a large number of cryptology algorithms; a set of 16 modern 256-bit open-source cryptography algorithms (chosen from AES Process [1997-2000], NESSIE Process [2000-2003] and CRYPTREC Process [2000-2003], etc.).
