File Extension Changing Tutorial! Make .exe Look Like a jpeg, mp3 or Whatever You Like!

Today in this tutorial I will show you how to make your .exe (or .com/.scr) files look like .jpeg/.mp3 or any other filetype! By normally changing the extension to e.g .mp3, will corrupt your file, but with this exploit your file will still be executable!

So for example lets say, you have created a file server.exe using keylogger, but I want it to look like a mp3 file, so people would run it. In this case, you should change the .exe to .scr to make it look more legit in the end.

Follow the steps bellow to change the file extension..

Done! Obviously you might want to change the icon to look like an mp3 before doing this..

Most browsers have patched this, but it can be used on IM's like MSN or Yahoo Messenger. To upload the file to a filehost, you need to make a .rar file with your server inside.

Now go ahead and mix around with .exe/.scr/.com and the fake-extensions to find some other legit-looking combinations!
