The research of realization of hidden channel for information transmission with the use of steganographic tools

In the work we have conducted the research of realization of hidden channel of information transmission with the use of modern software steganographic tools that can be used for the purpose to gain unauthorized access to confidential information. We have researched software tools for data hiding that are available to any citizen through the Internet. Also we have conducted the research of modern realization of steganographic system and computer steganographic methods with the use of modern software steganographic tools for the purpose of possible preliminary research of organization of hidden channel of data leakage by an attacker. In this research we have found the detection of structural changes in received result computer files with hidden data and also comparing a received result container with an original container. On the basis of the conducted researches we have obtained results concerning the modern realization of methods of data hiding and realization of steganographic system components using steganographic software tools. These results can be used, where appropriate, to further improve efficiency of steganographic analysis. Also the obtained results make possible the modeling the realization of hidden channel of data leakage with the use of steganographic tools that can be used by an attacker and the research using methods of computer steganographic analysis for the purpose of detecting malicious content in result files.
