Data Hiding

Description

"Data Hiding" is otherwise known as "anti-forensics" which is: a general term for a set of techniques used as countermeasures to forensic analysis. Sophisticated data hiding techniques continue to evade detection by intrusion detection systems, DLP solutions, and forensic analysts. Detection of steganography techniques used to hide messages with pictures and other files usually go undetected in even the large enterprise networks. Derivative approaches of multi-layer hiding techniques haven't even been addresses in the information security marketplace. Yet issues with espionage, data leakage (just look at wikileaks), and covert communications continue to challenge everyone. This book outlines many of the latest data hiding techniques in a fun and creative format, so as to raise the awareness of these threats to networks and corporations. And hopefully further promote research for detecting these threats.

• Broaden your knowledge about threats to your data or networks
• Understand sophisticated data hiding techniques, secret/covert communications, and espionage
• Learn how data is hidden amongst a wide variety of devices: computers, iPad, smart phones, and more
