 █ The MEW image above is the example. It is an image and it is a rar file    ▐▌

 █ png to rar; mewbies_concealed_files.jpg to mewbies_concealed_files.rar,    ▐▌
 █ then unrar it - extract the files.                                         ▐▌

 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ THIS IS HOW:                                                               ▐▌

 █ For this example lets concatenate - conceal a .rar file, containing two    ▐▌
 █ text files, in an image. You can use WinZip or 7Zip for example. I'll use  ▐▌
 █ WinRar as I find some versions of WinZip won't read the resulting zip      ▐▌
 █ properly.                                                                  ▐▌
 █ 1. Make a directory named mewbies. Place in that directory an image; most  ▐▌
 █    formats work except .bmp and the files you want to conceal.             ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ 2. Open up a terminal and enter the commands to cd to the directory you    ▐▌
 █    created:                                                                ▐▌
 █    cd mewbies                                                              ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ 3. Zip up or Rar up the files you want to conceal, in this case I'll       ▐▌
 █    conceal whatever.txt and doc.txt:                                       ▐▌
 █    rar a mewbies.rar whatever.txt doc.txt                                  ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ 4. Then to conceal (concatenate) the rar file in the image:                ▐▌
 █    cat mewbies.jpg mewbies.rar > mewbies_concealed_files.jpg               ▐▌
 █    Output is the mewbies_concealed_files.jpg                               ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █    If you like view the image you created. I don't have a GUI so I'll use  ▐▌
 █    jp2a to view the image on the terminal:                                 ▐▌
 █    jp2a mewbies_concealed_files.jpg                                        ▐▌
 █    You could also use cacaview: cacaview mewbies_concealed_files.jpg       ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ 5. To extract the files change the extension from .jpg to .rar:            ▐▌
 █    mv mewbies_concealed_files.jpg mewbies_concealed_files.rar              ▐▌
 █    Then extract the files, to a new directory named mewbies2:              ▐▌
 █    unrar x mewbies_concealed_files.rar mewbies2/                           ▐▌
 █    cd mewbies2 && ls                                                       ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ NOTES:                                                                     ▐▌
 █ 1. Step 4 I have chosen to save the output image with a new name or it     ▐▌
 █    will overwrite my original mewbies.jpg                                  ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ 2. If the files you are concealing are private then you should put a       ▐▌
 █    password on the zip or rar to extract the files.                        ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ 3. The larger the file size is that you are concealing, the larger the     ▐▌
 █    size of the image you should use - to make it not so obvious.           ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
 █ 4. This will not work on sites that actually rewrite the file you upload.  ▐▌
 █    For example FaceBook.                                                   ▐▌
 █                                                                            ▐▌
