Back 20+ years ago I used alternate data streams to his my collection of files (the ones you find online as a teenager) behind a text file. You can shove anything you want (I think) in them, even including extensions to make sure it opened in the right program (i.e. test.txt:malware.msi).
It works, and yes only on NTFS… but many applications may not be able to open these “files”.
It’s actually sort of a weird historical thing, goes back to the roots of Windows NT in VMS and also compatibility with Mac OS (classic) and its “resource forks”
you are shitting me, that’s so cool. This command only works for NTFS?
