Gairoscope: Injecting Data from Air-Gapped Computers to Nearby Gyroscopes
- jamesmunns 4y agoPretty sure this is the same researcher that publishes a new way to theoretically exfiltrate data over every possible signal medium every 3-6mo.

- dclowd9901 4y agoOk, but how do you get the data broadcasting code onto the airgapped computer? If this was handed to me by our internal info sec team, I’d have to downgrade it to “non-urgent”.
- tony-allan 4y agoAccording to the research paper it is assumed that malware is on the airgapped system and now needs to exfiltrate the sensitive information: "Our malware generates ultrasonic tones in the resonance frequencies of the MEMS gyroscope." https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.09764.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.09764.pdf
- rapjr9 4y agoI get that young male PhD students find spying on people fascinating. I used to be fascinated by it also, until I became a sys admin and learned that people are immeasurably boring. But why is this research being encouraged? Do we really need more ways to attack computers and data? It's already obvious they will never be secure.
