Description: 

Secure file encryption and compression utility.

Chameleon is a secure file encryption application that hides your files from anyone that monitors your emails, personal files even hard disk. More and more SPY software is being used; You need to be sure that files containing sensitive information are kept safe.

Chameleon is so strong not even a Server can find if your file hides something else inside.
Now it's available in Adware mode.



What is Chameleon?
--------------------

Chameleon allows you to hide files (all types of files), directory files by compressing (WinZip v1.0), encrypting (Double 128 bit Blowfish encryption fast algorithm (ASM)) on the fly, scrambling them and then attaching them to the host files of your choice. This Chameleon file then looks and behaves like a normal file, and can be stored, used, upload/download or emailed without attracting attention.
There is also additional security for your Chameleon files by inserting a 40 character Password. 
You can even hide Chameleon files in a Chameleon file.



Examples.
--------------------

Example 1.
You could create a music file (MP3) that looks and behaves exactly like any other music file but contains inside
some video files and some pictures. Upload the to your website and share them with your friends.
Your friends must use Chameleon to get the hide files; Maybe use of a password would be appropriate.

Example 2.
You could create a picture file that looks and behaves exactly like any other picture file but contains a Word document that would not attract attention if discovered.

Example 3.
You could create a video file that looks and behaves exactly like any other video file but contains inside hidden compressed encrypted pictures and video files. Then you can record it to a CD, it's practical unbreakable, and no one can find what really is in the video files, more even to get it.

They're unlimited ways you can use Chameleon.

Tips
-------
Although they do work well, text files are not recommended to be used as Chameleon ('.txt', '.htm' and '.html').
Certain files are often modified by their native application when opened by it.  It is recommended that you always make Chameleon files Read-Only.  This prevents these applications from modifying the Chameleon file and therefore erasing the hide Chameleon section.
When uploading Chameleon files avoid using text files, and always use transfer type 'BINARY'.
Always remember your password, if you use one.  We can't help you if you lose it and can't open your Chameleon file.
