Steganoroute is a tool to send steganographed text messages to another computer over the network. The receiver must make a traceroute to the sender using the mtr program (and pressing 'd' once to switch the display mode to the continuous graph). This tool, the sender, creates several fake hops and makes them answer the ICMP packets (or not) to write the letters one by one on the mtr client screen.

Features

  • Send steganographed text messages using traceroute hops
  • It can print upper and lower-case letters.
  • It can print in normal or color-inverse mode.
  • It can loop forever.
  • It should work on your own localhost computer, on your LAN and over the Internet.
  • It uses the Sinclair ZX Spectrum (1982) font.
  • You can select the TTL value on demand and therefore 'move' the text up and down the mtr graph.
  • You can filter the IP address that should receive the traceroute. If you don't filter it, every traceroute coming out of the server will mysteriously add fake hops to any destination! Oh my... what did I create?
  • You can feel the sensation of being MITMed by the top intelligence organizations in the world by using the conspiracy mode!
