The Technique Of Packet Sanitization For Information Hiding In TCP/IP

Traces of the packets transmitted across a network can be beneficial for troubleshooting network problems, aid as crucial data source for monitoring and management of computer network. Still, they often contain sensitive information such as user logon credentials, which website users have visited, f...
