: Hiding files on windows
: rasenove December 21, 2012, 07:36:21 AM
This is the way I hide my files
First change the files extention to .dll or .exe or something like windows system files.
Then place them in a folder of a softwair tha has a lot of dll , exe files. Rename my file to something simeller to the other dll files.
Then i go to command prommote and change my files attribute so it will be considered as a readonly,hidden and System file.
(Windows doesnt show system files. And doesnt let anyone ddleat a read only file)

So people will think its a system file. And leave it alone.

PLEAS SHOW ME HOW YOT GUYS HIDE YOUR FILES. 

The best way to hide files would be to remand it to something like,
'' Filename/  ''
or
''ABC/"
So NO system can access its directory. becaus "/" is a part of directory.
 
BUT i dont know how to do this.

I don't hide my files.I just go to cmd and type "cacls "Path of the file/folder" /E /P everyone:n"when someone tries to open that file or folder, it gives a msg that you do not have permission to open this file/folder.And also no one can see what is there inside the folder,how large it is and the main thing is that you cannot delete it. :) :)

So how do you access the file/folder when you want to ?

I just change "everyone:n" to "everyone:f"
One more thing, The command is inside the quotes and when giving the path(it is also without quotes) of the folder/file use backslashes(windows use forward slashes).
For eg: If I want to lock folder named Hello whose path is D:\Games then I will lock this as
1.) open cmd and type ==> cacls D:/Games /E /P everyone:n
To UNLOCK
1.) open cmd and type ==> cacls D:/Games /E /P everyone:f

Got it? ;) ;)

Well another trick is to make a folder, (put System and hidden attribs, but you don't have to), change icon to indivisible and paste your files there.

Or putting all the files in an archive and binding to an image - there's a great tool in this forum in Java by Deque for that :)

Mr. Perfect : I don't compete that doesn't mean I don't know anything.
 
ME : i never ment anything like that, i asked becaus i didnt know .

As for Kulverstukas,
changing folder icon wont be a good idea.
Becaus the real icon comes back for a sec when you enter the folder where its placed or when you refresh that folder.
Onthe Other hand, a very big imege file is weird and makes everyone curious about it.

Anyway thanks for shairing your ideas.

Staff note: as for you I suggest to use the damn edit button.

There is a post on my blog about this "hide your assets the python way". I give example on doing it in cmd too.

Use linux lol. On windows YOU CANNOT. Even though if you put / in linux, in windows that folder would seem corrupt :P

Making my file or folder looking like corrupted is the idea. So noone will eaven bother looking at it. And it wont be accable  for any system.

I use Alternate Data Streams.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/windows-alternate-data-streams/ (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/windows-alternate-data-streams/)

Best merge it with some porn or something that one would expect to be hidden, just in case somebody decides to go looking for them [ADS] with HijackThis' ADS finder or a similar tool.

But that's just for Windows.

I used to have a folder on the desktop with a white background when I was a kid, and just change the icon to white. But I have no use for hidden folders now

There's no need to hide files, just encrypt your file with this software: aescrypt. Encrypt it with a strong, random generated password - memorize it - then your file is perfectly safe for another century or so.

I really think a century is far too generous for AES-128.

Unless you live in a country where refusing to hand over your crypto keys is a crime. Assuming you're hiding your data from the government, not your family, obviously.

your file is perfectly safe for another century or so.
AesCrypt hasn't been cryptographically analysed as much as gpg or pgp, so there could be flaws in the implementation. I'd just play it safe and stick to something else.

You can always set file attributes to hidden.

I'd stick with TrueCrypt, a tested solution.
