-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi list, I've seen some fuss about the technique called "tempest" lately. Some people claim it would be "the thing" in modern security. This bugs me somehow because first of all I think it is way to much of an effort compared to the more casual techniques used today. Also all information that I can find on the Internet refers to some stuff the NSA released in the mid-nineties. Now that is not really a good and reliable source of information in my believe. :) Can anybody tell me how far evolved this technique is today and who uses it? Maybe some reference to a whitepaper or something similar. Would be great. Thanks Paul Brief definition of tempest for those who have never heard of it: Picking up the radiation produced by a monitor or cables that connect the graphics-card or graphics-chipset with the monitor in order to spy the screen of the user. Kind of like getting access to a VNC server on the box without having input yourself. The interesting part is that it is technically undetectable. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE5e6XaHrXRd80sY8RCg/9AKCBAs2SjvitArRFHs+6moRb0UX4GQCfbCo9 wi9z1V+h5m0YJFdz9IZK+EI= =2pu2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
