Real-Time Passive Sound Recovery from Light Bulb Vibrations
Spies Can Listen to Your Conversations by Watching a Light Bulb in the Room
You might not believe it, but it's possible to spy on secret conversations happening in a room from a nearby remote location just by observing a light bulb hanging in there—visible from a window—and measuring the amount of light it emits.
A team of cybersecurity researchers has developed and demonstrated a novel side-channel attacking technique that can be applied by eavesdroppers to recover full sound from a victim's room that contains an overhead hanging bulb.
The findings were published in a new paper by a team of academics—Ben Nassi, Yaron Pirutin, Adi Shamir, Yuval Elovici and Boris Zadov—from the Israeli's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Weizmann Institute of Science, which will also be presented at the Black Hat USA 2020 conference later this August.
The technique for long-distance eavesdropping, called "Lamphone," works by capturing minuscule sound waves optically through an electro-optical sensor directed at the bulb and using it to recover speech and recognize music.

Lamphone
Recent studies have suggested various side-channel attacks for eavesdropping sound by analyzing the side effects of sound waves on nearby objects (e.g., a bag of chips and window) and devices (e.g., motion sensors). These methods pose a great threat to privacy…

Securing IPsec Virtual Private Networks
Many organizations currently utilizeIP Security (IPsec) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to connect remote sites andenable telework capabilities. These connections use cryptographytoprotect sensitive information that traversesuntrusted networks. To protect this trafficand ensure data confidentiality, it is critical that these VPNs use strong cryptography.This guidance identifiescommon VPN misconfigurations andvulnerabilities.
