In fact, this vulnerability is not such a thing, but a cyber attacks explain very likely that looks like something out of a Hollywood movie but that, as we shall see below, is indeed practical, possible, and practical. What is it? exploiting more risk flexibility, and ultimately uses the movements made by PC fans at the table to steal data.
Air-ViBeR steals data from a PC with its fans
Created by Mordechai Guri at the Ben-Gurion University Cyber Security Center in Israel, Air-ViBeR it infects a PC that is infected with malware and which can change the operating speed of the followers
You can see it in the following video:
An app with a smartphone on the table included collects the movements released by the PC and converts that information individually with the zeros you transmit to the web. For this reason, and even though the system works, it requires a certain condition to work and, moreover, is at high risk of interruption (You lean on the table and you will interrupt the process).
In fact, the speed of transmission is so slow that it can take a long time to transfer important data. Looks like in the first test, it took many hours to transfer 4KB of the details (one block, or 32,768 pieces). In addition, as we mentioned, there can be no other movements on the table and if this was not enough, it is important that the smartphone or listening device is within range that allows to capture this movement (in other words, that it is on the table).
It could be the start of something big
At present, as we have explained, although this method does not work very well and it does not work well, we can rest easy. However, they have shown that with energy, you can, and this can be the beginning of something great in the future. Like everything else, it starts with something comprehensive, with many problems and not working properly, though as it is investigated and refined it may end up being a bad weapon
Consider the following scenario: PC and smartphone attack you with their malware. You leave the smartphone on the table and go out to eat or take a break, so the PC would work and the smartphone on the table collects vibration for some time. Thankfully, your current shipping speed is too small to be dangerous or effective, but if they improve that in the future it may be steals the most important informationAnd that without us seeing it.
In fact, four years ago a technology similar to the same technology was introduced as Fansmitter, which does nothing but now we see the version version 2.0.
