New FROST Attack Lets Websites Track What Sites and Apps You Open via SSD Timing

A malicious website can work out which sites you visit and which apps you open, using nothing but JavaScript and the timing of your SSD. The attack, called FROST , needs no native code, no extension, and no permission prompt. You open the page, leave the tab sitting there, and it watches the driv...

Hiding the Trees in the Forest: Building Network Covert Channels with Hash-Based Covert Carrier Filtering

As an effective anti-censorship mechanism, network covert channels can provide data privacy protection and ensure communication security. However, the covertness of existing network covert channels primarily depends on the secrecy of their covert algorithms. With the increasing depth of research ...
