Cloaked in Pixels: Concealing Payloads With Steganography
Ben Folland

This talk provides a brief overview of the history of steganography, with a detailed explanation & live demonstration of a PoC steganography based shellcode encoder/runner I wrote. This demonstrates a defence evasion technique by hiding malicious payloads in plain sight, within benign images. This talk finishes with a live analysis of samples of malware found in the wild that abuse steganography.
