Magritte painting. Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

David Sancho from TrendLabs wrote a blog post about the use of steganography by malware.

The modus operandi of some malware is described :

  • ZeusVM hides its configuration inside JPG images
  • VAWTRAK hides it in a remote favicon image file
  • FakeReg hides malware settings in the app icon
  • VBKlip hides data within C&C HTTP headers
