Hiding Folders in windows - the Hackers way  

Posted by *ΜΘŠŤ ŴÃŇŦ€Ď ĦÃČКЄŘ*

Concept :-

We Make a folder that looks like control panel or recycle bin
when system admin (victim) tries to access it he'll get directed to the location Control Panel or Recycle Bin depending on the folder you named

But if you try to access it using ftp or total commander you get straight into your folder

Lets Do this :-

1. Make A folder , put some contents in it (if you wish to)

2. Rename it "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B303

09D}"
without the quotes to make it look like control panel

3. Double click on it

4. Voila you land into control panel

5. Try to access the same folder with total commander or via ftp client . you can easily view the contents

Extra Stuff:-

to make it look like other things try these :-

Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}
Recycle Bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
My Documents.{ECF03A32-103D-11d2-854D-006008059367}
Fonts.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}


Note:- You can change the name to anything
i mean it can be

MYFOLDER.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

but still it will look like control panel
just make sure to keep the extension same

One good look :-
Look At the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionexplorerDesktopNameSpace

it contain the sets of folder extensions that u can use

I think thats all for this tutorial


other way
Open any windows explorer window. There go to the menu bar
Tools-->folder options-->view tab
There uncheck the option : "hide protected operating system files". Press Yes to the conformation msg.

Now u can see the full name of the folder xyz as xyz.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309
D}

Just rename it back to xyz. U have the folder back again.
