58 We can determine that the source port changes only between transmissions. The transmissions seem to be identical.\\
60 Therefore we can assume that the \emph{\textbf{source port}} can be ignored in further analysis.
62 We filter the transmission by applying the following filter in wireshark: \emph{\textbf{ip.addr == 192.168.67.83 and udp.srcport == 52899}} export the selection to a new pcap file and reload in wireshark to reset the packet numbers and export the pcap to csv.

69 Do you think that you have found the covert channel?\\
70 Give a detailed description of where the covert channel is occurring (feature value:covert symbol relationship) and provide a capture of the plot where the abnormal behaviour of the suspicious feature is isolated and clearly visible.
73 At first we wrote a decoder that made a diff between the current and the last csv line looking at DSCP.\\
74 Combined with the hint 8 bit ASCII we tried to extract full or partial bytes. The results did not made any sense.\\
76 Later we tried to look at the timing diffs and realised that most packets had a delay of either 0.04-0.06 or 0.14-0.16 ms.\\
77 So we tried to multiply the time-diff by 10 and cast the result to int. This resulted in a nice one bit/packet list which we quickly converted to 8 bit ascii.

286 Most likely it is in the DSCP field of the third transmission. (This also has responses from the local system)
