Attack: Hide Artifacts: NTFS File Attributes
Adversaries may use NTFS file attributes to hide their malicious data in order to evade detection. Every New Technology File System (NTFS) formatted partition contains a Master File Table (MFT) that maintains a record for every file/directory on the partition. (Citation: SpectorOps Host-Based Jul 2017) Within MFT entries are file attributes, (Citation: Microsoft NTFS File Attributes Aug 2010) such as Extended Attributes (EA) and Data [known as Alternate Data Streams (ADSs) when more than one Data attribute is present], that can be used to store arbitrary data (and even complete files). (Citation: SpectorOps Host-Based Jul 2017) (Citation: Microsoft File Streams) (Citation: MalwareBytes ADS July 2015) (Citation: Microsoft ADS Mar 2014)
Adversaries may store malicious data or binaries in file attribute metadata instead of directly in files. This may be done to evade some defenses, such as static indicator scanning tools and anti-virus. (Citation: Journey into IR ZeroAccess NTFS EA) (Citation: MalwareBytes ADS July 2015)

Description:
Create an Alternate Data Stream with PowerShell. Write access is required. To verify execution, the the command “ls -Recurse | %{ gi $_.Fullname -stream *} | where stream -ne ‘:$Data’ | Select-Object pschildname” in the %temp% direcotry to view all files with hidden data streams. To view the data in the alternate data stream, run “notepad.exe T1564.004_has_ads_powershell.txt:adstest.txt” in the %temp% folder.
