File Hiding

Hey guys.. this is my second article so far.. I'm gonna tell u what i do to hide my 'top-secret' ( :P ) files.. a year ago i came up with the idea of opening a winzip session, adding my files, n saving the thing as sthgxx.dll(xx is a number) n putting it in c:\windows, n i have lots of vip files, so i had many sthgxx ex: kerMel66.dll kerMel93.dll Kermel28.dll etc……. so that they will be really easy to find… this actually worked.. n my files were safe…… some months ago i had the idea of opening the zip in notepad and adding a character, then when i open it i get an error, i remove the character and it'll work, fortunately i tried it on a COPY of a vip file, cz it didnt work, n a week later i read a post on HBH saying that notepad doesnt display everything, so it just cropped the file to a smaller one.. 10 minutes ago, the idea just popped into my head to try the thing with a HEX editor!! i opened a pic in a HEX editor, the last HEX was D7, i changed 7 to 8, saved it n opened it, it displayed nothing but an error!! then i undid the change and saved it , n it worked :D:D then i tried it with one of my DLL-fake-files, n it worked :D I guess i can just write a small app later for that, it would HEX open the file, change sthg and save the change in a database, then with a "recover" button,gets the original value and changes it back to the normal thing and renames the file………

Would be really cool if you'd get that to work… who would try changing the last character of a .dll-file and changing the extension? Nice idea!

in VB: setattr "C:&*92;1245.TeXT", vbhidden + vbsystem + vbreadonly
