Alternate Data Streams (ADS) in windows NTFS file system can be used for which of the following?
File shredding
Hiding malicious Files
File encryption
File manipulation
ADS is the ability to fork file data into existing files without affecting their functionality, size, or display to traditional file browsing utilities like Windows Explorer. For example, adding additional "title" data to a file's ADS will not increase the file's size or change its functionality, which for most intents and purposes, makes the file hidden. This makes them a valuable place for attackers, particularly rootkit builders, to hide their tools.
