ADSList analyzes one or more directories and lists any alternate data streams (aka as "hidden streams") that are associated with a file. When an alternate data stream is found, the name of the stream is displayed along with the regular file the stream is associated with. The output will also show a summary that lists:
•the number of files analyzed
•the number of files that have an alternate data stream associated with them
•the number of alternate data streams that have been found
•the elapsed time
The main purpose of adslist.exe is to give a System Administrator a command-line utility that can be run/scheduled on a regular basis to reveal any hidden streams on a server or workstation.
|
ADSList only works on NTFS volumes, since alternate data streams are only supported on the NTFS file system. |
Return Code (%ERRORLEVEL%)
ADSList returns 0 when no alternate data streams have been found, and returns 1 if at least one alternate data stream has been found.
