As I mentioned in my Linux.conf.au presentation a year and a half ago,
the main use of Streams in Windows to date has been for system
crackers to hide trojan horse code and rootkits so that system
administrators couldn't find them. :-)
The only valid use of Streams in Windows I've seen was a virus checker
that stored a hash of the file in a separate stream. Checking a file
was a matter of rehashing it and comparing against the hash stored in
the special hash data stream for that particular file.
