I would knoww does it exist a dos tool to hide a path like

c:\windows\toto\config\toto1\etc.. ??

hmm visit this link: hxxp://www.hpaa.com/moslo/utils.asp

and try:
CATT

Description
Change file attributes or find files based on current attributes and/or date range in one directory or complete directory trees. Hide directories. Show file names, attributes, number of matching files and combined size.

Hope it will help...anyway you can also try google...i found much

also try this tool:

hxxp://www.filelibrary.com:8080/cgi-bin/freedownload/DOS/h/55/hd_sd.zip

Description
Hide and Show directories from the command line. Works like DOS' CD and MD command! -Freeware!

i think that one is better

thanks man

attrib +h folder ( remember msdos )

indeed use the attrib command

i know this this command for logtime man
but i would a tool only

do you want a gui tool you mean..? attrib is a standard command and was meant just for that (and files)...

Maybe he wants to hide TOTALLY a directory, not only a +h attrib, but that's just me.

Unfortunately, I don't know any tool for that

try this link ...hope you'll find what u looking for...

for a great tutorial visit here

if you want to completly hide adirectory you may use rootkit...

ithink the hxdef and vanquish rootkits are able to hide directories...
they are available as open source so you may mod them for your own purposes.

Head on over to rootkit.com and check out the rootkits that they have available, I'm pretty sure that's what you're looking for and it should do the trick.

open explorer
new dir
f2
alt255 hiddendosdir

under dos can't be accessed

well it can but you have to type cdspacealt255hiddendosdir

how do you dlete the file ??

I Think the more efficient method is attrib +h ...

i used to have a very nice program that totally hid and encrypted everything you chose to government standards... and there was no way to even notice it was there, believe me, i tried to hack it plenty of times
This program is no longer being produced and I have not found anything to replace it... .. but in other words, there are other ways... don't know any anymore

Not sure what the original poster is actualy after (or why)

As stated, DOS has the attrib command...

C:\>attrib /?
Displays or changes file attributes.

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:] [path] filename]
[/S [/D]]

+ Sets an attribute.
- Clears an attribute.
R Read-only file attribute.
A Archive file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
/S Processes matching files in the current folder
and all subfolders.


But thats not neccessarily hidden to the user (who probably uses windows). If you're trying to completely hide something on *someone elses* system then you're probably looking at either a FAT unlink, using the unallocated portions of the disk (Read the partition table and perform sector writes in the gap between the bottom of the last partition and the end of the physical disk), or finaly the MBR (will upset any AV)

If, instead, you're hiding data on your own system then get a new 60gb drive from a bulk manufacturer who also produces a 120gb in the same range. To keep costs down they will just produce the 120gb and limit them to 80gb, 60gb etc... (Seagate being a good example) This can be interleaved to produce a 60gb drive populated with mundane data and an interleaved 60gb of hidden data space. Ive done kind of thing with the barracuda range after hearing how the MOD used similar techniques on laptop drives.

Benefits? even if someone mirrors your drive and performs standard forensics they wont find your data. Of course, a platter analysis would reveal all but nobody is likely to go that far. Not even in a police investigation.

If you didn't need so much space or were restricted to legacy hardware then a simple hook could essentialy make whole portions of the drive invisible to all but raw sector readers. If the hook is instead a ringzero then even raw sector reads will fail to locate your data and the drive would have to be taken out, mirrored and analysed on a seperate machine (Or CD booted with a forensic disk)


This is one of those questions that boils down to details.
- How large is the data you want to hide
- How bad are the likely consequences of it being found
- Who is likely to go looking for it and what are their resources?

If its not at all important or the opponent is dumb then just drop it somewhere obscure, +H it, set the date to the date of the surrounding files, name it something bland and set the registry to hide hidden and system files/folders..

However, if your freedom could be on the line then its a whole different ball game and I may even be interested in coding something to your requirements.
