Title: Tempest Machine Post by: TEMPESTSALE on March 15, 2017, 02:53:41 PM “All electronic equipment emit (or transmit) some level of radio frequency (RF) noise that can be picked up by any nearby piece of metal that could act like an antenna. While the piece of computer equipment might have a wireless network interface card (NIC), the transmissions in question are not coming through it. ”(Gehling, Ashley, & Griffin 2007)
Emissions Security Problem https://youtu.be/8gRWlmxom7I (https://youtu.be/8gRWlmxom7I) Van Eck Phreaking is not new. The capabilities to spy on a computer from a van outside someone's home has been possible since the 80s. Computer monitors typically would emit enough radiation that it would be possible to use Van Eck Phreaking techniques to determine exactly what they were doing on the computer. In 2016 we could expect that technology has advanced significantly since the 1980s and if the trend holds then I would expect attackers to be favored over defenders as is the case in general in the realm of cybersecurity.
