摘要： A method for receiving and processing a covert transmission within a TCP/IP protocol stack is described. An IP protocol layer receives a datagram comprising covert data. The datagram is adapted to appear as an error at a TCP layer. The datagram is intercepted at an IP layer routine below the TCP layer. The intercepted datagram is processed by an extension of an IP layer routine.

摘要： Systems and method for creating a hidden electronic file system within a non-hidden electronic file system are provided. Files within a non-hidden electronic file system are pre-allocated and populated with a number of payload blocks, a first portion of which include user data to be covertly stored, a second portion of which include directory information pointing to first portion of payload blocks, and a third portion of which is configured for use as free and available space for new or replacement data. Each of a number of cipher blocks comprise random numbers to be used as a cipher for a corresponding one of the number of payload blocks. Each of the payload blocks is encrypted by an associated one of the cipher blocks.

摘要： System and methods for detecting covert payloads of data within an IP network are provided. Activity of at least a portion of the IP network is monitored for datagrams comprising error messages. A selection of the datagrams including the error messages occurring with a regularity above a predetermined threshold are identified.

摘要： Systems and methods for detecting transmission of covert payloads of data are provided. A datagram is received at a host within a network. A determination is made that processing the datagram creates an error condition. A determination is made that that the datagram contains a payload intended for covert transmission where at least one suspicious condition is present. The suspicious conditions include an encrypted payload, a destination not matching any known address for hosts within the network, a time to live value matching the number of gateways traversed by the datagram within the network, and a particular type of error condition.

摘要： Systems and methods for controlling machine operations are provided. A number of data entries are organized into a stack. Each data entry includes a type, a flag, a length, and a value or pointer entry. For each data entry in the stack, the type of data is determined from the type entry, the presence of an address or value is determined by the respective flag entry, and a length of the address or value is determined from the respective length entry. The data to be utilized or an address for the same at a particular electronic storage area is provided at the respective value or pointer entry, which may be specified by a space definition pushed onto the stack.

摘要： Systems and methods for increasing the impact of a message for a target individual are provided. An audio recording of the message and audio recordings of the target individual are each associated with transcribed text, which is separated into morphemes. Morphemes in the message are substituted with, or supplemented by, matching morphemes in the audio recordings of the target individual to create a revised version of the audio recording of the message, and then electronically transmit the revised audio recording to an electronic device associated with the target individual.

摘要： A system and method for scattering network traffic across a number of disparate hosts is provided. Each gateway located along a real transmission pathway between a real point of origin and a real point of destination is identified. A network and a sub-network for each gateway is identified. At least one host along the real transmission pathway is used to observe network traffic for a number of illusionary hosts, each having network addresses appearing to be plausibly located along the real transmission pathway. A host having aggregate network traffic data deviating the most from a mean value for all hosts is selected. The network address for the selected host is used as the source address of an outgoing IP datagram.
