SmartAttack: Air-Gap Attack Via Smartwatches

Air-gapped systems are considered highly secure against data leaks due to their physical isolation from external networks. Despite this protection, ultrasonic communication has been demonstrated as an effective method for exfiltrating data from such systems. While smartphones have been extensivel...

New Air-Gap Attack Uses MEMS Gyroscope Ultrasonic Covert Channel to Leak Data

A novel data exfiltration technique has been found to leverage a covert ultrasonic channel to leak sensitive information from isolated, air-gapped computers to a nearby smartphone that doesn't even require a microphone to pick up the sound waves. Dubbed GAIROSCOPE, the adversarial model is the...
