Agent 1: “He’s about to type his password. Here we go… 1…2…3…A…B…C”
Agent 2: “I feel like we could have figured this out with brute-force”
Agent 1: “Wait! He’s on the move. …no he was just scratching his balls. … Judging from the sound of it, I’d say he hasn’t trimmer his balls for a long time.”
Agent 2: “The AI picks up at least 15cm long strands, and some breadcrumbs. 50% rye, 50 wheat. Is that nutella and ketchup?”
Agent 1: “Dear God, what a freak”.
Agent 2 takes note. “He’s basically a sex offender at this point”
The future is now.
Agent 1: “yeah. hes the sex offender.”
Everybody is offended by an idea of a sex with them
Dude in the thumbnail looks like an un-and-coming Bond villain.
Dude in the thumbnail is Samy. He’s been a bond villain for a long time now.
Make it a UV laser and it would be invisible.
demonstrating that he can point a laser that’s invisible to the human eye at a faraway laptop, through a window, and detect the computer’s vibrations to reconstruct virtually every character typed on it
Infrared is not visible
It is visible to security cameras
Ahh ok, that’s what you meant before I guess
Since that function is usually meant for night vision, I wonder how well a security camera can pick out the laser during the day i.e. when the IR sensors are being swamped by daylight also coming in through the window
Infrared is not visible
To humans
Infrared doesn’t pass through windows.
I’m not going to argue with you but you should read the article perhaps? It’s pretty specific about where the laser is aimed vis a vis windows and whatnot
It’s already infrared. Also, UV is partially visible to humans in some scenarios.
Another great reason to use a custom, constantly shifting keyboard layout
RIP touch typing
I use blank key caps, and I find it leads to much more comfortable touch typing.
Slower, sure, but cozier also

Exactly
Why would blank keycaps matter for touch typing
It’s just a question of matching pattern with most used words against languages…
Laughs in DVORAK. This is some pretty funny Schitzotroll.
it’s heuristic, so it doesn’t matter what layout you use.
So they can hear me type p + enter into my browser?
Ah, another pterodactyl aficionado!
Great, now hackers and spies can detect my typing instead of using RATs or Trojans or packet sniffers, or just beating me with a $5 wrench (XKCD)
I’m not sure why you’re so dismissive of this? It’s kind of asinine.
Does everyone everywhere only ever use computers in an enclosed room? Is everyone with something value to exfiltrate easily accessible to kidnap and beat with a wrench?
This is valuable for corporate espionage, political purposes, or for nation states. If miniaturized, even easier for targeted attacks where it might be difficult to inject malware, or for broad attacks on office workers.
And the best part is that it doesn’t leave a trace which beating someone with a wrench and malware would do…
My keyboard is loud enough that it can be heard that far away anyway
he look silly
And perhaps he was named Billy
On screen keyboard rides again!
Binoculars
The article doesn’t mention how it compensates for different keyboards. Like wouldn’t different switches and wear change the sound?
That’s because it’s Wired. Basically a big ass advertisement.
It sounds like bs but its cause that’s been solved since around Roman times, heres a pretty interesting website on the technique
Came to find out about the audio quality of this exceptional microphone.
:(
Oddly enough - all my keystrokes sound exactly the same which makes this person’s claim so much bullshit.
Maybe to you, but with a proper algorithmic analysis of the sounds differences can be fingerprinted and differentiated.
So how do we fix this? Dumb nerds never think about the consequences of their creations.
From the article: “Even knowing that Kamkar’s silent, invisible, long-distance laser spy trick exists, how does anyone hide their secrets from it? He suggests that companies install double-paned or reflective glass. Some security device companies also sell protection devices that affix to windows and vibrate them to prevent laser microphone spying, and Kamkar concedes he hasn’t tested his attack against those. But he also suggests a safer countermeasure: “Don’t work on computers visible from a window,” he says. “Or just have dirty windows.””
Companies can’t even be convinced to have longer passwords on their wifi. And open office plans mean every computer faces a window
Then companies deserved to be hacked. shrug
The problem is the companies aren’t suffering the majority of the consequences of the security breaches, it’s the people these companies have personal information on & that includes people who have never done business with these companies but that these companies purchased data on.

There, not so dumb now, are we?
What a strange response.
