Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a post-compromise cleanup on a Windows Server 2019 host, you notice that an attacker stored a backdoor executable inside a user's harmless-looking text file so that the dir command did not reveal the payload and the reported file size remained unchanged. Which NTFS feature was most likely abused to achieve this stealth?

  • NTFS junction points

  • Volume Shadow Copy snapshots

  • NTFS file compression attribute

  • NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS)
