Show HN: A covert channel using QUIC protocol headers

3 points by nuvious a year ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Had a 2-week assignment in my Covert Channels class to make a new concert channel and settled on making one using the QUIC protocol by embedding encrypted payloads in the Connection ID field. Was honored to have the talk accepted at ShmooCon 2025. Link is a time referenced YouTube link for the Build It track talks (a lot of other good talks in there too). Welcome comments and critiques; opened plenty of my own in GitHub issues on the project page. Basically a proof of concept (completed for a 2 week deadline) so plenty of room for improvement in the concept as a whole.
