Practical Stealth Traffic with Format Transforming Encryption

Hiding your activity on a network without tripping any alarms can be complicated in highly protected environments. In this presentation I'll demonstrate some practical methods to communicate on a network without alerting defenders or disclosing information about your activity - even when you're operating on a network that makes use of deep packet inspection.

We'll go through 2 working examples of mimicking traffic and talk about the potential of Format Transforming Encryption.
