i have hacked into the secret files and folders of the NTFS file system.
check this webpage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
I opened the drive in linux, and since Thunar( file manager) wasn't recognizing the folders even when i typed in their names. therefore i used firefox to explore the drive, and upon typing in the names, i was sucessful. among other thing, i saved a copy of the file table ($MFT).it was on a 512mb flash drive and was 6.15mb.

iSmith,

I'm no expert on NTFS (or other filesystems for that matter), but isn't a filesystem meant to allow access to files? Think I must be missing a trick somewhere...

dude, those are special top secret hidden file essential for the file system to work. many OS'es do not allow you to see and modify them, so the only way to do so is through the use of special tools. however, i pulled off this hack with no special tools.
