    Abstract

    This paper presents experimental results of the implementation of network
    steganography method called RSTEG (Retransmission Steganography). The main idea
    of RSTEG is to not acknowledge a successfully received packet to intentionally
    invoke retransmission. The retransmitted packet carries a steganogram instead
    of user data in the payload field. RSTEG can be applied to many network
    protocols that utilize retransmissions. We present experimental results for
    RSTEG applied to TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) as TCP is the most popular
    network protocol which ensures reliable data transfer.
