Abstract

Steganography for executable files is the least common steganography. Research in this area has subsided after several, not many, attempts to implement it. The aim of this work is the implementation of existing methods and its modification proposal. Extensible software that has been created, can be also used to implement other methods. The implemented methods were properly tested,  evaluated and compared. The comparison results show, that the used instruction substitution method, roughly corresponds to its reference value 1/110, however the results are highly dependent on the input binaries. The proposed extension of this method averages a data rate of 1/84, which is only 1.5 times less than the value obtained from another existing implementation in which specialized software was used to search for equivalence classes. The maximum data rate obtained from test programs is 1/38.
