Steganographic Trojans
Michael Rogers explores steganographic trojans at DEF CON 10, examining steganography and practical defenses.
Summary
Architecture and Background
Michael Rogers - Steganographic Trojans Steganographic Trojans As anti-virus manufacturers develop more efficient techniques for stopping an infection, potential attackers must become more cunning and resourceful in their deployment methodologies; they must create "invisible" code...but how?
Vulnerability Analysis
What are the possibilities of developing an invisible virus or Trojan?
Exploitation and Demonstrations
The purpose of this talk is to explain the research we have collected, and to identify potential distribution methods, including JPEG, MPEG, and MP3, which may utilize steganographic hiding techniques to obfuscate the source code of various programs such as viruses and Trojans.
Remediation and Defensive Strategies
Michael has been working in the information security field for 4 years and is currently the Senior Security Engineer for Exceptional Software Strategies, Inc, located in Baltimore, Maryland.
