Windows security: File hiding
Hi guys!
New user/IT-noob here.  I was watching this video (metacafe.com/watch/379519/windows_xp_security_hacking_hiding_files_ads/) on window's security on file hiding. Googling around for info on this area, all I could found is results on its threat, otherwise profound explaination of its origins. Could anyone explain to me of its origin and purpose in simple? Is this feature necessary in the first place? Cheers, John

This is an ADS exploit found in all version of the NT Filesystem (NTFS). ADS was originally designed for compatibility with the Macintosh Hierarchical File System (HFS) where file information is sometimes forked into separate resources.
Necessary? No.
