Combining different filetypes into a single file, such that the appropriate data is preserved with respect to how the file is being read. This is usually accomplished by concatenating the files together.

Works with any combination of the following

  • 7ZIP
  • JPG
  • MP3
  • PNG
  • RAR
  • WAV
  • HTA

Examples

In Windows: 

copy /B foo.jpg + bar.rar foobar.jpg

In *nix: 

cat foo.jpg bar.rar > foobar.jpg

Both of these examples will create a file named foobar.jpg, that when viewed graphically is identical to foo.jpg, but when unrar'd contains the contents of bar.rar.
