Exploring unconventional storage mechanisms
Caesium Alternative data-storage research
A research set examining ways data can be placed outside ordinary user-visible storage structures, together with an assessment of how readily those methods can be detected or defeated.

Exploring unconventional storage mechanisms
Five alternative storage mechanisms explored
Caesium examined several distinct approaches, from modified partitions and unused space to purpose-built steganographic techniques.

Research mechanisms
- Alternative USB Storage (Cs-USB)
- Bad Sector Masquerading (Cs-BSM)
- Partition Modification (Cs-PM)
- Purpose-Built Steganographics (Cs-SG)
- Freespace Hiding (Cs-FH)
Exploring unconventional storage mechanisms
Detection difficulty matters as much as concealment
Each mechanism was considered against escalating levels of examination rather than treated as simply hidden or visible.
Assessment categories
- Casual examination
- Detailed examination
- Hard-defeat attempts
