Steganography (steg) is the technique of hiding information within a seemingly ordinary medium such as other data or images. This ancient technique has found its place in the world of malware, namely hiding malicious code within other files including image formatted files ( T1027.003 ). The most widespread steg tactics are crude and involve using fake file extensions or file headers that are subsequently stripped by another component.
