When viewing NTFS files in the Hex Viewer I see a lot of items in left window such as Standard information, Data, etc. What do all they mean?
Each NTFS file is actually a set of sub-files or ‘attributes’ in NTFS terminology. Each of them has one defined type and unique name. Windows NT uses some of the attributes to store file information. For example, the unnamed attribute with type ‘Data’ is equal to the file’s contents unnamed attributes with type ‘Standard information’ stores file times and user mode permission (read-only, archive:). Other attributes may be created and used by some 3rd-party software. In hex viewer/editor you can review all of file’s attributes.
