Thanking to this answer https://superuser.com/a/704697/200806 I discovered ADS (Alternate Data Streams) and started to play some demo: created a test.txt:hidden file with hidden in ADS content. I can see from the same PC where I created it, but when I am copying it over network - hidden content is lost.
Both PC are on Win7x64, target drives are NTFS, connected via Team Viewer VPN (tried both RDP and Share copying - result the same: hidden content is lost)
Is ADS content persistent when copying over network in generally? If Yes Why in my case content may be lost?
I tried it via Gmail too - the same result. Will try tomorrow on real network. – ALZ – 2014-01-26T10:46:26.240
Checked it on real network - it works. – ALZ – 2014-01-27T09:26:09.997
btw, Skype also cuts ADS – ALZ – 2014-01-27T12:03:20.523
1It makes sense for them to strip it out. There is no guarantee that the destination file system will support ADS. – surfasb – 2014-01-28T00:46:26.577
