Alternate Data Streams
Alternate data streams are a little-known feature of NTFS, which is why I made this short session about them. It shows what they are, where they come from, how they work, what risk they pose, and how to detect and manipulate them. It was made for a five-minute talk.
I also recorded a BlogCast of the session, to watch offline. The original was a Windows Media file; it’s converted to MP4 here so it plays in the browser.
