Hi,
Its not only with "255". Any other ascii characters that are not printable will do. It works only on win 98. Also hide the file 'attrib +h <filename>'. Then onwards the character will not show up on 'dir'. If still want more use these characters after 8 normal printable characters. The unprintable characters won't show up now.I wonder why this thread was given an "extremely positive" antipoint. Its a well known trick.

Why not to make a cryptic folder under c:\windows\system32\ and rename all the files in there to something like winctrl.sys or xyzdll2.dll... I mean c'mon, your trick is a too easy one... We do have a steganography forum here: http://www.antionline.com/forumdispl...?s=&forumid=73 , visit it and get some better ideas on hiding stuff.

well on 2k and NT you can use the POSIX subsystem to create hidden or "invisible" characters that can't be read by the file system, and can't be removed unless through POSIX. I don't know if this is possible in XP, but I'll look in to it.
You can even use POSIX to create stuff like COM directories (even though that is a restircted name) or use various symbols like !@#$ in the names.
it's been a while since I have done that, or removed one, but it's possible. It's what a lot of 0-day groups do when they hack a web server or FTP server... and boy are they a pain to get rid of if you don't know what you are doing.
It's called "tagging" but can also be used to "hide" documents/files on your system if you really wanted to go through the trouble of doing it.
[EDIT]
Anyway, these files and directories can't be seen through explorer, and also can't be traversed through MS-DOS without the POSIX subsystem being installed. So theoretically you can hide them through this, although I have only seen this used by 0-day groups.

thats a Win 95 flaw...and it's WAY old....and acctualy useless....
Want to hide some thing? Encryption and Camuflage is the way to go..

Edit: It worked in XP Pro?!!! Wha....Gota check that...
Edit2: Nope...Nada... mkdir c:\test[Chr255] dosn't do any thing..it's ignored...how ever
mkdir c:\Te[chr255]st makes the dir C:\Te and C:\st at the same time...or thats what happend here....at least..the path does not become impossible to access....

THis is a *somewhat* better hiding technique for XP:
Create the folder in Windows Explorer, like normal, but for the name press ALT+(Numpad)0160
And change the folder icon to something blank... It's invisible in explorer, though it still takes up a space and opens if clicked on... To make it harder to find enable the "hidden" option. It shows up in the command prompt but I haven't found a way to open it there.
Still, there are many better ways to keep stuff from being seen.

Doesnt matter what OS you use it is irrelevant. You can only do this IN MS DOS, not the command prompt from within an OS but pure MS DOS cos no other supports the ASCII characters entered through ALT etc.
Alot easier to just use some steganogrpahy software where this thread should of been posted anyway.
Also $t0rm10rd i am interested in how that wokrs inj XP cos it doesnt on mine and i am used to using ALT.

not sure why everyone's posting to this old thread today.......but I guess since it's already done I can post something to it. The guys in my dorm don't even know how to unhide folders that are hidden in the normal everyday way of hiding them. You right click on the folder and select "hidden". You can display hidden files by going to tools, folder options, view, show hidden files. The better way of hiding stuff is to use a program like Access Administrator, which hides files pretty well and they can't be accessed without the password. You can download that and several other nifty tools at http://www.softheap.com/. Last I checked it was still free and I like it. I think everyone should give it a try. (be careful though, I remember one of the programs from that site is a pain in the ass but I don't remember which one.....)
