BitHide9

BitHide9 is a lightweight and fairly easy to understand piece of software that was developed to offer you a straightforward method of disguising your most sensitive documents behind other files, to make them less visible to potentially unwanted people browsing through your computer.

Setting up one or more accounts

The first time you run the application, you will be required to register a new user by inputting a username and a password. These credentials will be necessary each time you wish to access BitHide9.
In addition, you have the possibility of creating multiple accounts and keeping different files in each one, depending on your security preferences.

Disguise documents using other files as masks

In the main window of BitHide9, you will be able to view all of the files that you have disguised in that past, as well as the path they were hidden in. From the context menu, you can open the targeted file or you can remove to from the list.
To mask a new item with BitHide9, you can click on the ‘File’ menu and select the ‘Add File’ option. A dedicated window enables you to input the source document, then choose the object you wish to disguise it as.
You should bear in mind that the program does not feature encryption functions, so you might want to think of using other software for this purpose, before hiding your item under a different appearance. If you have multiple entries in your list, you can resort to the ‘Search’ component to locate it more easily and open or delete it.

A handy file masker for you to use

In summary, BitHide9 is an interesting and effective security tool that aims to help you protect important documents from prying eyes, by disguising them under different files, so only you can access them by means of username and password, whenever you need.
