Im looking to find out how hide folders or files where they wont be seen from ftp and stuff. There are folders here when it try to delete they wont delete saying they arent empty when they are.. or are they

Use an . before the name, like
.hidden-map-name-here

Given the fact that he mentioned folders, I could probably put money down on it that illusion is using windows. and the period infront of the folder is a *nix only feature. If you were to use it in windows, you'll find that it's an invalid directory name.

See if that helps any

ACT like a Prick..Treated like a Prick....account deleted

if you have linux put a dot (.) infront of the file name, it will make it hidden
(ls's default command not to show hidden files). if you want to make the file
protected to changes (deletion among the rest) use the command:
chattr +i .filename (you have to be root)

if you have windows, you can use the attrib command (on windows 98, maybe
on XP/2000t they changed the command)

attrib +h +s c:\windows
(hidden & system file)

to protect the file against deletion.... dunno.

dissolutions, actually u can put a period in front of a folder name, you must do it through a dos cmd prompt though.

mkdir c:\program files\.seeme\

You can then make that fodler hidden by:

attrib +h c:\program files\.seeme

^There you go, make a folder with a period and then make it hidden.

u can also use a redirection ( as liitle nice bug) ;D 4 XP/2000

well i just used "attrib +h +s" hid the folder from dos and user

k thanks guys

note, if you hide a file/folder in windows the
user still can see the file/folder if he changes
windows's file view defaults (tickin' View
Hidden Files and Folders), so it won't be
actually hidden. (like using dir/a or dir/ah)

hmm thats true.. but, i have seen on a friends ftp that they can get the whole dir to be like hidden from ftp and stuff and sometimes just the files and u cant delete the folder scince files are in it im guessing..

it's depend on the FTP server definition...
because all the command pass through the FTP
it's can control everything, what you see and
what you can do, it's all depend on the rules
the FTP server has on any given dir/file. it
doesn't has to have direct connection to the file
attribute on the disk.

mkdir / /
mkdir / /lala/
and so on ...

very often the ftp server don't show the / / folder , but it is aviable and created .

anyone know why its not possible to make that kinda bug thing witha mkdir bat?

mkdir C:\windows\system32\data\Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}

gives me error and puts the ie in the dir there bat is ..


::EDIT::

mkdir C:\windows\system32\data\InternetExplorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}

if u dont space the internetexplorer it works but thats a bit notice able no?

::EDIT::

a friend gave me this but said it wont show on ftp ( the files ) anyone know why its not workin? (its not stolen its really from a friend)

attrib +s +h +r +a %SystemRoot%\system32\ my files still show

final beta covered most of your last question, but as for the last bit:

atrrib doesnt hide files from ftp it helps hide from an admin who has not turned off "do not show hidden/system files" or from a dos plain dir c:\filename.exe /s it wouldnt show either without /ah switch used that is...hope this helps you out some

ty ty both of you


final u think u can give me a little info here?

that worked well but how would i get a .bat workin whit it? i had it witout the " " but then no space in IE

C:\windows\system32\data\InternetExplorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}\svchost.exe /i
net start servicename here
:exit

if i put the " " anywhere there it wont work.. ive tried all combos

have you try to start it this way ?

"C:\windows\system32\data\Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}\svchost.exe" /i

this is the right syntax

yeah man thanks alot works great.

i wasnt putting the " at the c: i was puttin it by the internet

thanks all of ya

One of the best ways Ive found of hiding directories folders etc is pretty simplistic once yah get playing .. I make the / / folders etc this is great for hiding folders but what about the files .. theyre as visible as a tree in a forest ( or hooker in a whore house ) Check out hacker defender theres a post on here somewhere on another with a modded one or www.google.com Im too lazy look for a direct link .. This proggies pretty sexy with what it can do hide ports files processes services reg kets etc .. I'll host 5 k bots on your comp only thing youd notice is a internet connection lag maybe a bit of a process spike here and there but no connection incoming or outgoing ports ftps backdoors ircds so on and so forth ..

The Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8} tricks kinda cool and all but sucks if someone either locally or remotely ie rehack and runs fport or services.exe pslist etc everythign yah got there is fully exposed

When even you yourself get lost looking for your files and cant find them thats when you know youre almost close to hiding them perfectly

you can also hide files using "attrib.exe"

attrib.exe -> one of the extrernal system files <-

attrib.exe -h <file>

example: attrib.exe -h servudaemon.exe

i use
md "Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}"
it work fine
