To be able to properly do this, you should acquire a "Hide Files" software and an "Unhide Files" software.
The "Unhide Files" version has to be greater or equal then the "Hide Files", or you will not be able to find and un-hide the file later.
How to hide (localhost / remotehost):
- go to your "Files / Programs" and search in ETC for the "Hide Files" software.
- click "Run" to start the program, it eats some resources so make sure you have enough.
- go to "Files / Programs" and click on "Hide" in the action of any file you see
- check your "Running Software" for the remaining time on the hide process, should not take long, but depends on the file size.
- click task complete on the hide process
- your file is now hidden, in order to SEE it, you HAVE to actively run an "Unhide Files" software on the gateway
- if you have the "Unhide Files" software running you should be able to see a [hidden with V x.x] next to the file name
How to un-hide (localhost / remotehost):
- make sure you have the active "Unhide Files" running on your gateway. "Run" the "Unhide Files" program if not already active.
- go to the "Files / Programs" and look for the hidden file, it should be marked with [hidden with V x.x] next to the file name
- on the hidden file action menu, where it previously said "Hide" it should now say "UnHide"
- click "UnHide" and wait for the process to finish.
- click complete task to complete the unhide process
- the file is now visible to everyone
Tips & Tricks:
- you can run the "Hide Files" software only when needed, e.g. you uploaded a virus, you start the hide process, hide the vir and stop the program. That way you can save up on resources.
- you can run "Unhide Files" software only when you are actively searching for a hidden file to save up on resources. If you do this on your gateway, make sure you note somewhere what files you have hidden
- if you hide / unhide files on a regular basis, keep the two programs in the gateway memory to be able to see hidden files of opportunity on your targets
- you CAN upload hidden files, virii for example. You just need to run the "Unhide Files" software when clicking the "Upload" on the hidden file. The file WILL be visible on the target, so remember to hide it again in there is you want stealth.
