Quick reference thread for known Alternate Data Stream (Alt Stream) (ADS) names in the wild and the programs that use them. Add to this list. Only reference programs and specimens you yourself use and have encountered. Do not copypasta from elsewhere on the Internet.

7-Zip can archive files and their ads, and extract them again intact. You have to use the uncompressed .wim (Windows Imaging) container and checkmark "[x]Store alternate data streams". You can then compress this container with .zip or .7z, for example, myarchive.wim.7z
