Alternate Data Streams

Hiding files using alternate data streams.

• Copy calc from system32 folder to your test folder, Now create a text file and append the cal.exe to the file:

type calc.exe > readme.txt:calc.exe

• Now create a link to the ADS file to create backdoor:

mklink backdoor.exe readme.txt:calc.exe

• Opening the backdoor link will open the hidden file.
