great method.. But wats the principle behind it?
Bump.......
I thought of posting the principle behind this.

RAR format doesn't read the data which is before its header/starting point and image editing/reading softwares ignore the data which is after the end of the image.:D

That is not the principle man. That is what one would normally think of.

See this:
RAR files can be embedded in other file types, probably the most common being JPEG. Image handling programs, browsers, and other utilities usually ignore any additional data after the end of the image, while RAR ignores anything before the RAR header. The procedure to create such a file is to append a RAR file to a JPEG. (e.g.: in DOS/Windows command-line: copy /b image1.jpg+something.rar image2.jpg, in UNIX: cat image1.jpg something.rar >> image2.jpg)
Source: *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR This is the site from where I had learnt about this trick.
