Alternate Data Streams!

Go to start, then Run and type : cmd
Press enter
Now in the command window lets make a new folder, type:

c: (press return)
cd\ (press return)
md atemp (press return)
notepad c:\atemp:hidden.txt (press return)

Now notepad opens and says Create New File, choose yes

Now type a message and save it, close notepad.

Try and find that text file on your PC, you won’t be able to! You can see the folder, but not file.

How do we retrieve it?

Go to the command window again, and type :

notepad c:\atemp:hidden.txt

@echo off
echo do you want to delete C:\\Windows ? (Y/N)
pause >nul
echo Are you sure ? (Y/N)
pause >nul

dir /s

dir/s

echo All files deleted.
pause

msg * WINDOWS has encountered an error and needs to close

It’s fon to due.

First of all, you can open the batch file and see the password.

Second, I can just rename Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} back to anything and it appears as a folder again.

And finally, the script renames the file back to a folder regardless of what I enter as a password.

I love hacking security systems and access rights - and this would of taken me less than a second, I may of even not noticed this was meant to be private due to the ease in which I overcome it.
