BlogCast: Alternate Data Streams
Originally published on my old blog at cumps.be on January 4, 2005.
Some time ago I saw something about Alternate Data Streams, but I can’t find the source anymore to give credit :(
Alternate Data Streams are a “feature” of NTFS, making it possible for one file to store data in multiple streams, attached to the file.
I have made a small BlogCast about Alternate Data Streams, demonstrating them from the command prompt and with a C# program.
It’s 8 minutes long, 6.2 MB, and includes the source code I used.
This is my first attempt at a BlogCast, and in English :)
I later gave it as a lightning talk at DevDays 2005, and found XP SP2 using Alternate Data Streams for its security warnings.
