This new technique was mentioned on the list before CanSecWest: http://linuxbox.org/pipermail/funsec/2009-February/019657.html
And this is the technique: "Presenters at the CanSecWest security conference detailed [on Thursday] how they can sniff data by analyzing keystroke vibrations using a laser trained on a shiny laptop or through electrical signals coming from a PC connected to a PS/2 keyboard and plugged into a socket. Using equipment costing about $80, researchers from Inverse Path were able to point a laser on the reflective surface of a laptop between 50 feet and 100 feet away and determine what letters were typed." --clip-- http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10200631-83.html Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
