In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of a selection of statistical tests for detecting storage-based covert channels and present the results of several experiments which show that complexity-based tests are effective at detecting storage-based covert channels when information is embedded into network packet header fields that are not expected to follow a particular pattern, such as the IP Identification and Time-to-Live.
