paper: Implementation of Passive Covert Channels in the Linux Kernel

[Joanna Rutkowska <joanna () mailsnare net>]

The goal of this paper is to describe the idea and implementation of so 
called passive covert channels (PCC), which might be used by malware to 
leak information from the compromised hosts. This idea has been 
implemented in a proof-of-concept tool, called NUSHU. The primary goal 
of the PCC is to be as stealth as possible by not generating its own 
traffic at all. To be actually useful PCC should be combined with some 
kind of password sniffer or other information gathering software running 
on the compromised host.
