It seems some researchers succeeded in stealing data using the sound emitted by the hard drives. It appears to be the same team that did a number of similar stuff.

Neat. Foam dampening around Govt. HDDs soon.
>>56060359
Considering that hard drives read and write data with several hundreds MBit/s this is very unlikely as in physically impossible.

And yet there it is, in action.
And one more thing: Bumblebees can't fly, as proven by NASA research, and yet they do.
>stupid fucking people will be the death of us all
>>56060451
How the fuck do you know that the data received is actually coming from the computer? Looks bullshit to me.
>>56060451
>And one more thing: Bumblebees can't fly, as proven by NASA research, and yet they do.
That is a hoax. It never fucking happened. Google it, retard.
>>56060451
>stupid fucking people will be the death of us all
The irony is just killing me here.
>>56060433
Yeah I tend to agree with this chap right here.
The attack posted utilized the speakers and had infection had to be installed via USB. You're not going to be just randomly reading bits off a drive and any kind of distance. Nice try Mel Gibson go back to your fireproof metal house which is filled with combustible books (for data security).

>And one more thing: Bumblebees can't fly, as proven by NASA research, and yet they do.
I hate people who keep spouting bullshit like that. Like what do you want to say with this? That things that are impossible are sometimes still possible? Through magic? Go fuck yourself. The bumblebee story never happened btw, it's just another facebook story fat girls post when people criticize their lifestyles.
>And yet there it is, in action.
It could be just fucking faked. Or it could be a very specific scenario that is not found in reality.
Anyway: I call bullshit on this one, it makes no sense at all. Either it's a fake or it's completely irrelevant.
>THE CURRENT YEAR
>hard drives
>>56060433
You can see they're obviously not reading hundreds of megabytes per second, heck their reading speed is below 8-bytes per minute
>>56060451
The data being received could be generated from outside noise infection, even if it were possible...
>He thinks a smartphone microphone is powerful enough to pick up individual bits from a HDD read/write sequence
>>56060433
I found a synopsis of what they did @ https://arxiv.org/pdf/1608.03431v1.pdf and they indeed the same team that did VisiSploit etc.
Installing a malware they turn data into sound that then supposedly gets picked up by a smartphone.
The only usefulness is in case a computer is not connected to the internet and there is no other way to extract the data. Actually it is pretty important for military and agencies. For every other user a normal spyware is more suitable.

or both
>>56060623
also

So it's less of a spying method than it is a new method of transferring data.. for spies
Probably has an obscure use-case in some obscure hacking operations
>>56060683
Yeah, but
> transferring data
that's not really how I would call it.
>>56060451
Who the fuck cares its entirely impractical it probably takes them a few days to get a kilobyte.
someone yells NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER
4 months of like 5MB data retrieval GONE NIGGER
>>56060359
>fans disabled on the computer
>silent room
>extremely slow
this is impractical so I'm not worried about it
>>56061153
oh yeah and also
>doesn't work on SSDs
>>56060730
The word you are looking for is exfiltration.
>>56060623
Neat paper. Thanks.
>>56060940
How many bytes are your private keys again?
>>56060359
lmao
