SkyDe: a Skype-based Steganographic Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces SkyDe (Skype Hide), a new steganographic method that utilizes Skype encrypted packets with silence to provide the means for clandestine communication. It is possible to reuse packets that do not carry voice signals for steganographic purposes because Skype does not use any silence suppression mechanism. The method’s proof-of-concept implementation and first experimental results are presented. They prove that the method is feasible and offers steganographic bandwidth as high as 2.8 kbps.

متن کاملEnhanced Skype traffic identification
Skype applies strong encryption to provide secure communication inside the whole Skype network. The communication ports of clients are chosen randomly. As a consequence, traditional port based or payload based identification of Skype traffic cannot be applied. In this paper we present a novel flow dynamics based identification method to discover both Skype hosts and voice calls. The method is b...
متن کاملTwo Methods for Detecting Malware
In this paper, we present two ways of detecting malware. The first one takes advantage of a platform that we have developed. The platform includes tools for capturing malware, running code in a controlled environment, and analyzing its interactions with external entities. The platform enables us to detect malware based on the observation of its communication behavior. The second approach uses a...
متن کاملSkyLen: a Skype-based length covert channel
Network covert channel is a technology that transfers information secretly through the computer network. The length-based covert channel is one of the most popular covert channels. Most of the existing length-based schemes are vulnerable to detections due to the abnormal statistical features of the covert traffic. In this paper, a Skype-based length covert channel SkyLen is proposed. The propos...
متن کاملDetection and Tracking of Skype by Exploiting Cross Layer Information in a Live 3G Network
This paper introduces a new method to detect and track Skype traffic and users by exploiting cross layer information available within 3G mobile cellular networks. In a 3G core network all flows can be analyzed on a per user basis. A detected Skype message is therefore related to a specific user. This information enables user profiles that provide a relationship between the mobile station and th...
