Investigators Guide to Steganography

BackYard is a steganographic file system program that can completely hide and protect files, folders, and drives by making them completely inaccessible, i.e., hidden from the Windows operating system, write protected, or from any other protection scheme you specify. Different protection profiles can be created with different files and directories, and can be activated with a single hotkey. BackYard also has a built-in search capability to find and protect your files. Features include:

• Make any file or directory invisible

• Write protect any file or directory

• Make any file or directories attributes unchangeable

• Make any file or directories attributes impossible to delete or read

• Make any directory deny a file or sub-folder creation

• Protect all files with a specific extension or an entire drive
