Keystroke Recognition Uses Wi-Fi Signals To Snoop

A group of academic researchers have figured out how to use off-the-shelf computer equipment and a standard Wi-Fi connection to sniff out keystrokes coming from someone typing on a keyboard nearby. The keystroke recognition technology, called WiKey, isn’t perfect, but is impressive with a reporte...

What is Defcon

The first year I attended, I was lucky enough to identify interesting wireless signals with a distinct sound - that of the POCSAG and FLEX protocols. Decoding these signals revealed party invites to the Telephreak party where I listened to raw, uncensored lightning talks covering topics from car...

Academics Devise New Way to Steal Data from Air-Gapped Computers

Stealing data from air-gapped computers is one of the great exercises in computer security: advanced attackers covet what’s stored on these isolated machines, while researchers try to figure out the novel ways adversaries could jump those gaps. The latest effort doesn’t involve USBs, heat,...

New Hack Uses Hard Drive's Noise to Transfer Stolen Data from Air-Gapped Computer

Air-gapped computers that are isolated from the Internet and other computers are long considered to be the most secure and safest place for storing data in critical infrastructures such as industrial control systems, financial institutions, and classified military networks. However, these systems...
