Hiding Secret Messages In Skype Silences

Orome1 writes "A group of researchers from the Institute of Telecommunications of the Warsaw University of Technology have devised a way to send and receive messages hidden in the data packets used to represent silences during a Skype call. After learning that Skype transmits voice data in 130-byte packets and the silences in 70-byte packets, the researchers came upon the idea of using the latter to conceal the sending and receiving of additional messages."

If you talk long conversation, specific pauses might simply work as morse code.

C may currently have overtaken Java as the most popular language but Whitespace is going to overtake them all!
