Title: How to Hide files / how to Un-Hide files
Post by: siremi on June 27, 2008, 12:27:12 PM
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.

oh, so the unhide needs to be a higher level than the hide... that explains it, thanks  :5:

If you hide a virii file will it still show up in processes?


Title: Re: How to Hide files / how to Un-Hide files
Post by: plubius on June 28, 2008, 08:31:39 PM
only if its installed.


Title: Re: How to Hide files / how to Un-Hide files
Post by: Melville on June 28, 2008, 08:45:04 PM
So if you install it, the file might as well be unhidden?


Title: Re: How to Hide files / how to Un-Hide files
Post by: plubius on June 28, 2008, 08:47:12 PM
yes and no, it can be found, but they need to unhide it to run an antivirus on it.

Oh, okay, thanks.

Question: I'm still not too sure, so when you want to hide a virus you can hide it on your gate way and then upload it hidden? or do you have to upload your hider AND virus then run the hider on the victim?"


Title: Re: How to Hide files / how to Un-Hide files
Post by: sovietpride on June 29, 2008, 05:48:53 AM
you can upload it, but it won't be hidden.

and even then,m you need a higher unhider (running of course) to be able to do anything with the virii on your gateway.

EVERYONE CAN SEE IF YOU UPLOAD A HIDDEN FILE. in essence it is no longer hidden.

i think.

Ohh so if i upload it hidden you will still be able to see it?  Then what's the point

the point is that no-one else will take advantage of the file on your end if you get hacked. Your virii won't be installed as often if you keep them hidden, and your other software may not get deleted so often  :laugh:

If you feel a little paranoid, you can also encrypt your virii / files and keep the decryptor in a safe place (Secure FTP) :)

Ohh, siremi could you verify what encrypting a software does?

Yeah when the file is encrypted it can not be run or installed.

The Un-Hide software will now see the hidden files hidden with equal or lower version.

But if a hacker installs a virus and then encrypts it is he still able to obtain his money?

Yes if already installed the virus works normally, encryption has nothing to do with the virii once installed.
Also I don't see why you would want to encrypt the virus, can't find any purpose in it...

I can ;)  Encrypt and Hide both.

If you research the virus, i dont think you'd want anyone to just be able to copy it :P

Yes that's true but I don't see a point in encrypting installed viruses :)

Wouldn't you have to unencrypt it to remove it?

I don't think so... have you tried it yet? I'll have to check, but I think you have to...

Nah everytime the good encrypt and decrypts spawn they are deleted before I can download them even with my BW bumped up nicely.

I feel your pain, but for me it's every good file gets deleted  :10:

Upgrading bandwidth helps a lot with that.

Yes i know, im currently saving up

if I calculated right, you only need 18 or so dedicated bandwidth to dl something before it gets deleted (that is assuming that you started dl'ing it about a minute or so after someone started deleting it.)

anyway to make the hide/unhide process any faster? or is it just based on file size of prog being hid....

Post by: Xirad on August 30, 2008, 07:14:29 PM
I have a rather newbish question... when you hide your file it's supposed to hide it at the level of the hider right? because if not when i hid my spyware virus (did it twice just to be sure) it hid it at a lower level....

There was an update to hide and encrypt that limits it to .2 above the level of the file being hidden

My noob question on hide/encrypt: is it useful at all to hide/encrypt your file if you only have 1 server and no secure FTP? That's because when you hide/encrypt a file and you still want to use it every now and then, you will have to keep a unhide/decrypt soft available on the server. So if someone breaks into your server, it's always a cakewalk for him to unhide/decrypt the file and do whatever he want, right?

Not really that easy Serin, anyone else accessing your gateway would have to have their own unhider/decryptor running on their gateway to be able to see your files, and cannot use the ones on your gateway, so really...you're pretty safe, at least with higher versions.


Edited: dont know HOW i missed all that grammar and missing words :(

I can't say this is logical but it answer my question. Thanks DamascuS.:)/me runs back to his gateway and starts hiding process.
