// july 24 - 25 |
USA 2010 Weekend Training Session //July 24-25
Overview:
The art of analyzing steganography within images, multimedia and in network protocols is considered a black art. As criminals communicate and conceal vital information in new Steganographic file systems, voice over internet protocol (VOIP) streams and in a host of multimedia carriers, it is vital and urgent that a cadre of trained experts exist to counter this threat. A deep understanding and analysis of images, multimedia files and network protocols along with clear understanding of the known methods of data hiding are essential in order to participate in this analysis.
During this 2 day advanced class, students will participate in hands on experiments with stego’d images, multimedia files, advanced network protocols and Steganographic file systems. Detailed analytical and jamming methods will be utilized to both discover and disrupt Steganographic operations. Analysis of Steganographic file systems, streaming steganography and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) based steganography will be covered. A host of both open source and proprietary technologies will be utilized and all students will receive licensed copies of all software tools utilized in the class.
Teaching Methods:
WetStone has created a unique virtualized cyber-safe environment where investigators and analysts can experiment with advanced steganography applications and investigative technologies.
This unique real time environment provides investigators with direct access and experience with both steganography and encryption based data hiding tools, and the required toolset to investigate such applications in in the wild.
