hello,
i've tried to hide some files by attrib +h ... ok

But how can i hide some directory ?
I've tried attrib, or with /com1/ but when i type :
dir/s **, it always find my files.

attrib +h c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\start.bat

is what i use and it hides the files fine

I've made a mistake, i was talking about hidden directory with no hidden files :
Like this :

What about:
C:\gov>attrib +h *.*
C:\gov>cd..
C:\>attrib +h gov

If it doesn't work you might want to try hiding files in ADS

attrib +h /S /D gov

Thank you..
But am I Question?
IS hiding Completely a way??
Ask me..GSO Member ..
Thanks everyone..

i use wincmd and i still see does files :S

it's not usefull :S

atrrib really isn't that useful with hiding files. my suggestion is to hide them in a different NTFS stream if the HDD uses a NTFS filesystem. there are quite a few docs and tools about this topic out there. just check packetstormsecurity for example.

yea but if it isnt ntfs i suggest rootkits

true. i haven't been much into rootkits lately. any good ones out there that don't get detected by every damn AV in the world?

attrib helps u can also try attrib +S +H , i dont like dealing with ADS its somehow complicated , also rootkits are useful but u have to test a rootkit and make it undetected and u will go into another problem , so if u try that above , it will make file hidden and also system file , so i think the viewer must tick show hidden files and folders and untick hide operating system files , so that may prove to be useful ...

you can use th metod of the stream (but only works on partitions with ntfs)

Try to make you path from command prompt directly in recycled folder! like this :

attrib +h c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\start.bat


that works great


thanks
