Hack3rCon II Presentation: Lurking in the Shadows

Tim Tomes and Mark Baggett

Synopsis:

"Lurking in the Shadows"

In the past, hackers and pen testers have used various techniques to hide the presence of tools and information on compromised systems. Techniques such as alternate data streams in Windows, and directories with common names in Linux, have been basic implementations of such techniques. The addition of Shadow Copies to modern Windows operating systems provides us with yet another opportunity to conceal information on remote systems. This talk will discuss the history of concealing data within operating systems and new techniques and tools for doing so in modern Windows implementations.
