Thanks. Good to hear.
Hi. This is not persistence mechanisms. This is only ways of hiding programs withing ADS and ways of executing it. How to place your persistence is up to you. For instance a RUN key in registry could launch the WMIC command that execute data from an Alternate Data stream.
"powershell Start-Process -FilePath xx.exe" can execute the file too~
Will AV detect the malicious payload?
@jmaravi - yes.
What about if you needed to delete an ADS? Not just empty it.
@zappermax you can remove an ADS using the Remove-Item cmdlet
