Electro-optical Sound Eavesdropping

Explore electro-optical sound eavesdropping techniques in this 52-minute conference talk from the Hack In The Box Security Conference. Delve into two novel side-channel attacks: "Lamphone," which recovers speech from physical meetings by analyzing a hanging light bulb's vibrations, and "Glowworm," which extracts audio from virtual meetings by examining power indicator LED intensity. Learn about the experimental setups, results, and potential vulnerabilities of various devices. Gain insights into the historical context of these attacks and their implications for modern security. Presented by a PhD student from Ben-Gurion University, this talk covers cutting-edge research in audio surveillance and TEMPEST attacks, offering valuable knowledge for cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts alike.
