Yes. I have thoughts, but until this thread, I never thought about alternate data streams. What are they, and why should we be concerned about them? Are they able to pass through firewalls and miss detection by virus scanners?

I guess I should have read the post more closely.

“None of the Internet protocols enabling file transfer such as SMTP, FTP etc. support streams.”

My LAN is private, ADS cannot apparently overwrite system files, and my LAN traffic to the WAN (Internet) is firewalled. So what is the threat?
