Abstract
Steganography is defined as the art and science of hiding information, it takes one piece of information and hides it within another. The piece more used to hide information are the digital images. In this paper we present a way to use unused fields in the IP header of TCP/IP packets in order to send information between to nodes over Internet.
The work described here was supported by the Computer Security Research Group at TESM-CEM.
