Embedding in Network Traffic
*Various types of network traffic provide for various types of hidden communications *Embedding within TCP session can provide for two-way communications *Multicast UDP or ICMP traffic could be used for a steganographic broadcast
•The variations in types of network traffic provide for many potential uses of steganography.
•Using TCP sessions provide the potential for full-duplex communications due to it’s connection-oriented nature.
•Multicast UDP or ICMP, for example, could be used for broadcast of a steganographic message.
