A Covert Channel Based on Web Read-time Modulation
نویسنده
چکیده
A network covert channel is created that operates by modulating the time between web resource accesses, with an “average web user” read-time used as a reference. While the covert channel may be classified as timing based, it does not operate by changing deterministic protocol attributes such as inter-packet delay, as do most timing based network covert channels. Instead, our channel communicates by modulating transaction level read-time, which in the web browsing case has significant non-deterministic components. The channel is thus immune to methods typically used to detect timing based network covert

ProtoLeaks: A Reliable and Protocol-Independent Network Covert Channel
We propose a theoretical framework for a network covert channel based on enumerative combinatorics. It offers protocol independence and avoids detection by using a mimicry defense. Using a network monitoring phase, traffic is analyzed to detect which application-layer protocols are allowed through the firewalls. Using these results, a covert channel is built based on permutations of benign netw...
متن کاملPURDUE UNIVERSITY TECHNICAL REPORT Camouflaging Timing Channels in Web Traffic
Web traffic accounts for more than half of Internet traffic today. Camouflaging covert timing channels in Web traffic would be advantageous for concealment. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of disguising network covert timing channels as HTTP traffic to avoid detection. Extensive research has shown that Internet traffic, including HTTP traffic, exhibits self-similarity and long ran...
متن کاملVerified Order-Based Transaction Scheduling Scheme for Multilevel Secure Database Management Systems
While the secure transaction schedulers in multilevel secure database systems synchronize transactions cleared at different security levels, they must consider the problem of covert channel. Through the covert channel, malicious users leak secret information in a way of intentional interference among the transactions that they invoked. Much work had been done for closing the covert channel. Alt...

Covert channel means communicating information through covering of overt and authorized channel in a manner that existence of channel to be hidden. In network covert timing channels that use timing features of transmission packets to modulating covert information, the appropriate encoding schema is very important. In this paper, a hybrid encoding schema proposed through combining "the inter-pac...
متن کاملHide and Seek in Time - Robust Covert Timing Channels
Covert timing channels aim at transmitting hidden messages by controlling the time between transmissions of consecutive payload packets in overt network communication. Previous results used encoding mechanisms that are either easy to detect with statistical analysis, thus spoiling the purpose of a covert channel, and/or are highly sensitive to channel noise, rendering them useless in practice. ...
