I think the key point is that there was a ton of DNS queries and not much other traffic if any (as I understand it). So little opportunity for steganography in images or such.

Of course if all the DNS queries were seeking the address of the same domain name, then we'd have to look elsewhere for codes. Could be in fake time stamps or even real time stamps but carefully staged intervals that carry the code. Hard to know without seeing some actual packets.
