Used SuperStorm for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

Despite a cluttered interface, this app proved simple to use and lets you quickly and securely store data files in a password-protected form embedded within media files.

SuperStorm initially looks confusing--its interface is cluttered with buttons, a number of fields, and some amateurish graphics. The appearance is a bit deceptive; what looks somewhat childishly designed actually works pretty well and is easy to use.

In our tests, this free app performed well. Selecting a data file and a media file in which to embed it was a simple matter of dragging an item in the apps file browser to the selected graphic. Clicking Execute created a new Output file--the media file with the embedded data file--in a matter of moments. We were then able to save it where we wished. There was no discernible change to the new media file, except that it was slightly larger than its original from 5,175KB to 5,775KB for one test item.

Creating a password to protect the new file is just as simple a process. Novices will quickly master this app. Experienced users may prefer a more robust app for securing sensitive files, but SuperStorm isn't really designed for industrial workouts.

What’s new in version 1.52

Version 1.52 fixes minor interface problems such as the empty file selection list in file browsing dialog windows.

It Works as said and if you need to hide file its fine. Usefulness may vary from person to person.

Pros
Very easy setup not mixing up the win registry
Cons
not the "folders". Not in free version at least.
Summary
Can hide files and folders
scott_greenSeptember 20, 2007
Pros
In my humble opinion meteor713, you are being unfair here, no offense.. but truth is, I use SuperStorm daily to hide/unhide entire folder trees! Of course, the root folder should be previously compressed using XP's built-in Zip funtion or any other tool (I use WinRAR). The basic idea is to hide *any* file inside another file, including a compressed volume if you wish. As stated in the documentation, compression reduces size *and* enhances speed as well as encryption.. Therefore, claiming that it can't hide folders is inaccurate.. with all my respect to your opinion.

Only specify a file at a time. Cannot assign a folder.

brilliant! Don't understand, or pretend to know how it does it, but it does.

Pros
It does exactly what it promises. I chose the files I wished to hide and then selected a media file within which to hide them. It did as it promised and then after all this I was able to still play the resulting media file with no hint that it contained anything else. It is simple to use, and did it all in a few minutes. I was so impressed that I paid for the pro version.

It hides the fact that you have secrets.. wonderful.

Pros
This program is great. Very helpful at work especially with the USB feature. As a pro user, I can share secret information with users of the free version too. Very easy to use and yet very powerful. Well thought. Beautifully done. Thanks to the developers. I give it 5 stars.

Developer’s Description

By Mindhills

Hide your secret files in ordinary files.

SuperStorm allows you to hide your confidential files and folders in a wide variety of media files such as pictures, audio, video, and 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.

To enforce security, you can define a password up to 10000 characters or use any file as your encryption key. You can also set a password to restrict access to SuperStorm and if any security settings are tampered or damaged, the program will repair them automatically. SuperStorm can be used to destroy any sensitive file on your computer. Physically overwritten, files cannot be recovered by any software or hardware. Version 1.52 fixes minor interface problems such as the empty file selection list in file browsing dialog windows.
