Using Hex Editor to modify file extension?

Postby gibxam » Sun May 03, 2009 3:15 am

Is it possible to make a a text file appear like appear to have a .jpg extension or vice versa but still have it function as an text file. Can this be achieved using a hex editor. Thanks for any help.

Hit End.
Type “.jpg”.

i think he means have a file that was named Something.jpg but when u opened it, it would be a text file not a picture and open with notepad as if it were named Something.txt

im sure what he really means is to have something like Virus.exe but it looked like it was named igotbigtits.jpg so some unsuspecting noob will open it to see the titties and get infected instead.

i hope thats never possible lol.
