Centre closure

As part of a broader organisational restructure, data networking research at Swinburne University of Technology has moved from the Centre for Advanced Internet Architecture (CAIA) to the Internet For Things (I4T) Research Lab.

Although CAIA no longer exists, this website reflects CAIA's activities and outputs between March 2002 and February 2017, and is being maintained as a service to the broader data networking research community.

Covert Channels in Computer Networks Tools

A list of available tools to establish covert channels through communication networks - in particular IP networks and the Internet. Some of these tools are 'simple' protocol over protocol tunnels while others implement interesting techniques to really hide their presence.

For a bibliography of covert channels please go to my main covert channels page.

It is very likely that this list is incomplete. Also there may be errors. If you find errors or are aware of relevant tools not yet listed on this page please drop me an email!
