Sub-technique of T1001 · Data Obfuscation.
Adversaries may use steganographic techniques to hide command and control traffic to make detection efforts more difficult. Steganographic techniques can be used to hide data in digital messages that are transferred between systems. This hidden information can be used for command and control of comp...
How to detect & mitigate it
Detecting Steganography starts with your SIEM/EDR telemetry. Write a detection rule with the Sigma generator, analyze suspicious logs in the log analyzer, and place the technique on your coverage with the ATT&CK matrix.
