| You have important files
(personal, financial, political, scientific, etc.) that you
wish to archive on CD, send to someone by email, or upload
to a web page, AND you don't want anyone to have access to
that information, OR you wish to grant access to it only to
a few people because you consider it to be too personal, inappropriate,
dangerous, or simply embarrassing. It might be a confidential
video file, a voice recording, a chat text log, a piece of
software, a bunch of pictures, or anything. Most people would
pick up the first encryption program around and spend some
time learning about public and private keys and other tech
concepts... To tell you the truth, we realized that most people
feel uncomfortable with encryption programs, we mean people
who are not familiar enough with computers or who simply don't
have the time or passion for learning sophisticated things,
and they end up choosing insecure ways to protect their information,
or they simply decide to erase that information! Why? Because,
this is not how people naturally behave when they want to
HIDE something in real life! If
you wanted to hide an object for example, you wouldn't need
to learn anything new; you would simply go and hide it inside
an old box, behind a wall picture, inside a closet, or somewhere
around the house. More importantly, you wouldn't go and
tell everybody "Hey! I hid a secret thing this morning
and I dare anyone to tell what it is!" You see, this
is the big problem with the usual approach in encryption.
Your files may be well encrypted but they are still showing
there on your hard disk or CD like a valuable safe waiting
to be hacked, stolen, or destroyed! What ordinary encryption
software fails to hide is the fact that you are actually
hiding something, which usually leads to exclamations like
"Hum... why is s/he hiding this? Is it something wrong,
embarrassing, or illegal so s/he had to hide it?",
and then they go like "Ah! I might be able to break
that code", or "I know someone who can break it".
To hide is to conceal from sight
and other senses. That's 99% of the hiding and that's where
SuperStorm makes a big difference. Not only it hides the
fact that you are hiding anything but it can also make it
practically impossible for anyone to reveal your secret
in case they happen to know that you are hiding something.
The good news is that SuperStorm is very easy to use simply
because it is based on the natural idea of hiding something
inside something else. Let's see technically how it works.
 
WHAT IS SUPERSTORM?
SuperStorm allows you to hide your confidential
files and folders in a wide variety of media files such
as pictures, audio, video, executable programs among many
other file types. Your secret file will be physically wiped
out and merged inside the media file. After the operation,
your final picture, audio, video, or executable program
will continue to display, sound, play, and function exactly
like before.
SuperStorm preserves and restores all
original file names and file dates. The program offers an
intuitive user interface supporting drag and drop and an
optional compact display mode. Moreover, you can run SuperStorm
from a removable disk (e.g. USB, floppy) or a CD without
any setup. In fact, SuperStorm doesn't require any installation.
It can be used and removed instantly.
To enforce security, you can define a
password between 8 and 10000 characters before hiding your
secret files or you can use any file as your encryption
key. Even without a password, SuperStorm will still encrypt
and decrypt your secret files. In addition, you can set
a password to restrict access to SuperStorm and if any security
settings are tampered or damaged, the program will repair
them automatically.
Furthermore, SuperStorm can be used to
destroy any sensitive file on your computer. Files are physically
overwritten so they cannot be recovered by any software
or hardware. Version 1.5x introduces advanced multi-threading
capabilities, dynamic cleaning of sensitive information
in RAM and in disk caches, higher levels of reliability
and security, and more.
The freeware edition of SuperStorm can
hide any file up to 1 MB large in any media file without
a password. However, the freeware edition can also be used
to extract any file hidden using the professional edition
(with or without a password). The professional
edition has no limitation and it offers more features.

order SuperStorm Pro
on CD and/or download it immediately.

Q. Do you publish technical information
about SSP encryption scheme?
A. Please read this
PDF document for technical information on how SSP works
internally.
Q. Can I use SuperStorm Free/Pro
to hide entire folders and subfolders?
A. Sure. Right-click on any folder and use XP's built-in
compression (Send To/Compressed Folder) to generate a compressed
archive file containing the folder and its subfolders and
files; then use the compressed folder file as your data
file. You may use Winzip, WinRAR, or any other compression
tools to compress your folder and its contents and generate
your data file. Note that compression enhances speed and
encryption! |
