DarkStreams Screenshot

Alternate Data Streams (ADS) are additional, invisible data segments that can be attached to NTFS files or folders.
They store information separately from the main file content, without appearing in Explorer or affecting the reported file size.
ADS are useful for hidden metadata, configuration values, or supplemental information, but they always remain tied to the file or folder they belong to.
They are not apparent in normal file system views and are difficult for typical users to access.

ADS is supported only on NTFS formatted volumes.

New: DarkStreams™ is a viewer and editor for ADS with extensive features.

  • View ADS content (plain text or binary)
