Detecting Hydan: Statistical Methods For Classifying The Use Of Hydan Based Stegonagraphy In Executable Files
Craig Wright - July 3, 2008
This paper presents a method that can be used to detect HYDAN based steganography. This is simply an initial means and should be improved if it is to be used in any serious endeavor. To do this, the code could be compiled into a single program that incorporates the disassembly and comparison in a single binary. This would then return a value for those segments that have embedded data.

Steganalysis: Detecting hidden information with computer forensic analysis
Pierre Richer - October 31, 2003
In this paper I shall give a brief definition of steganography and steganalysis in general to provide a good understanding of these two terms, but more importantly, I shall talk about how to detect the existence of hidden information such as innocent looking carriers of digital media like text, JPEG images, and MP3 audio files with the help of various tools.
