Doesn't this already exist? Multiple times? Oh well, obvious 'exploit'. Wondering how Y! will react. They must've forseen this, right?
Question though, how large of a file can you hide with steganography in a 300mb picture?
Would that be big enough to hide an MP3?
On a side note, can you upload files to Flickr that have data appended after the end of the image data? Like people were doing on 4chan until moot removed that capability.
... bonus points for whomever gets an HTTP server running on flickr. Maybe I can store my music there too and stream from a webapp that plays these PNG files. edit: sorry I must be on the wrong message board. Thought this would interest people. Guess I'll take my idea elsewhere.
That ruins the service for the rest of us. The phrase "this is why we can't have anything nice" applies perfectly to this post and comment.

You'd probably need a VPS to do that. What you could do is have it pull files based off a database on the server, stick them in a cache, then convert them to what they really are (I assume the utility in the OP just adds a PNG header, so the VPS could just strip that) and then stream it. Maybe you could hack it together with owncloud or something? I'm sorta tempted to try doing something like this but I don't want to…
I wonder if there's a way for GD/ImageMagick to detect the image data and strip everything else. (And if EXIF data is needed for photographs, import all non-binary EXIF data into the system first.)
Flickr aside, I am surprised nobody (AFAIK) has come up with a way of sanitizing uploaded image files yet.

This is kind of a dick move to use IMHO. Clearly they are not giving you the space to store arbitrary stuff. It's a neat hack and props to the author but if enough people use this it will not only cause Yahoo! to have to build countermeasures but will also set an ugly precedent for Yahoo! product managers to consider before doing nice things like they did today.

But it won't help. You could just make your data a real image.
