Network steganalysis: Detection of steganography in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks

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.
