Network Steganography Don’ts
*Avoid using “optional” header fields
*Avoid using headers that are likely to change in transit
*
•Some things to avoid when attempting to use steganography with network traffic:
•Using optional header fields or header fields that are likely to change in transit could result data loss.
•Header fields like IP options which might be stripped, changed, or modified in transit or upon fragment reassembly are poor choices of locations to hide your data.
