Encoding and decoding files via contextual menu

NTFS File System has the ability to encrypt files. To do this, however, must first go to "Advanced" and enable the corresponding. It's too complicated.

Set a contextual command for this function. Here's how it works: open register editor and navigate to the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced".

Click on the right, create entry "EncryptionContextMenu" with the command "New / DWORD value" and then open a double-click. Set its value as "1".

Sending secret messages through stream

2008-07-12T02:40:00.000-07:00

Sending secret messages through stream -

Windows hides information in "Alternative data streams." You have already read about it - but what exactly? And how these data can be read or used? Stream sites, for example stream of data sites, there are only NTFS file system, standard Windows 2000 from that.

The system uses to store thumbnail-ROMs. Each file name can be attributed to any number of the stream, separated by two points. You can create your own stream sites and send secret messages through them. Unfortunately, Windows does not show the stream sites with standard tools. But you can help make sense: you can analyze and manage the stream sites easily using "StreamsViewer", which you find at www.pdfforge.org/projects/ streamsviewer. The program provides navigation in a manner similar to the Explorer files stored. Once you select an item, you'll see all stream sites allocated and their context in text or hexadecimal displayed in the right. With the help button "Add", "Remove" and "Save As File" streamurile can manage and send a message or even files

in your stream. You can not view these data using tools in Windows. Even Microsoft offers a tool freeware, but it is an application in line which is not even close to work with the above. The program can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ FileAndDisk / Streams.mspx. Extract the zip file and copy the file "Streams.exe" directory in Windows so that it can access directly. To search for hidden data, open the Start / Run, type "cmd" and press [Enter]. Enter "streams" in the command prompt, followed by a file name and a wildcard selection to run the sites and with Enter. The "s" consider and sub-directories during the search, adding "d", you can remove your stream from a file. You can create your own stream-line command. To do this, use the "echo secret Text> test: stream." This will generate a file "test" to the size of empty 0 Kbyte, which contains a stream with the message "secret story." To see the contents again, using "more
Warning: When you copy a file to another file system, such as FAT, all streams and content will be lost

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet Control - I used the Start-Run-regedit (you may want regedt32)
2. click on the folder "Control" in drepata you will find a key, "WaitToKillServiceTimeout".
3. Just double-click the key and modify the value implicit in a lower (for example, instead of 2000 to 100).
4. Reboot the system
