Port knocking ;)
Effectively, yes. It's a bit tedious to use -- and the server-side
code is far from "standard" -- but it is great at stealth. I'm
not sure how it would work in situations with lots of *intended*
traffic, though...
[I've been making little boxes with a NIC on one end, stack
in the middle, and some form of communications I/O on the
other (serial port, USB, GPIB, CAN, DMX, etc.). The stealth
feature was one of the most requested capabilities (as it lets
an interface be deployed and routed -- without fear of some
hacker/script-kiddie stumbling onto it and dicking with the
attached device).]
