The covert channels of type covert storage channels were used in this research to
hide textual data or an (image hiding secrete data) in the transmission protocol layer and
the internet protocol layer of TCP/IP module. We use IP protocol in designing covert
channel by using Identification field, and use TCP protocol in designing covert channel
by using Urgent Pointer field, and UDP by using Source Port field. Finally ICMP
protocol by using Echo request message and Message field.
The result of Covert channel after analyzing the protocols (IP, TCP, UDP,
ICMP) header depends on the field that used in the designing the Covert channel. The
access ratio of hidden data in the two protocols TCP/IP was %100. UDP protocol on the
other hand depends on a mechanism of unsafe communication. ICMP protocol provided
a good transmission, though unreliable, in that the message structure can be unreliable
or clear.
