What is special about Cyber Crucible canary files?

Canary files have special data hidden in them, in the event they are ever stolen by an attacker. Cyber Crucible can trace the file back to the original owner.

The file names are mostly-random (called psuedo-random) in a way that attackers cannot identify them and avoid them. The names are created with a special Cyber Crucible math formula, that allows our software to recognize a file as a canary, even if the names are different from machine to machine or file to file.

The ability for Cyber Crucible software to recognize these files also means that there only needs to be one canary file per server, even if thousands of workstations are using the server.
