Stream Explorer

We all have our bag of tricks.... Regmon, FileMon, Depends to name a few... well today I have added a new one: Stream Explorer

This little utility comes in handy to identify streams added to files as recently discussed on Stefen Krueger's blog.

I really dislike security by obsecurity and I find it really annonying that downloading the same file in two different ways will generate a file that has the same MD5 hash but will be treated differently by Windows. However, that's the way the world works.
