Abstract

In the times of continuous development and growing popularity of the Internet and the wireless access, we can observe the increased interest in the network steganography as a particular way of information hiding in networks. IEEE 802.11 standards have a great importance as more and more hidden channels proposals are based on them. Therefore, we created a detector of some selected hidden channels that are based on IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer. Prepared research allowed to observe shortcomings and strengths of studied steganographic channels.
