alex_02 , in New acoustic attack determines keystrokes from typing patterns
@alex_02@infosec.pub avatar

Looked at this a while ago. This has been a study for a while. Def interesting, but it requires time to train the model, and also it doesn't work on just any keyboard. Also isn't accurate always with figuring out what was typed and takes a lot of guesswork with machine learning.

xor ,

you should probably read the article, it's different than other methods:

What makes the attack different compared to other approaches is that it can reach a typing prediction accuracy of 43% (on average) even when:

-the recordings contain environmental noise
-the recorded typing sessions for the same -target took place on different keyboard models
-the recordings were taken using a low-quality microphone
-the target is free to use any typing style

still only useful in extremely limited situations though... but it is neat that it uses timing of key strokes over the different sounds of each one...

Thanks for saying the same thing just differently.

and also it doesn't work on just any keyboard.

i contradicted you and put that section in bold...
maybe just be less defensive and take it as the innocuous comment it was....

Ok buddy. You're either a dumbass or you have such an inflated ego that you're illiterate or just couldn't be arsed to read my original comment. Before this became more mainstream, I actually looked into it and read a number of papers on how it works. It doesn't work on just any keyboard because it requires to be able to pick up the keys using sound, which a lot of membranes ones would be extremely difficult to do. Also, you have to factor in the surrounding noises as well. In a controlled lab yes it is much easier to do, but the technology is just not there yet and there is a guy who has been doing acoustic key logging research for years, and it still required a ML model that has to be trained for it to even start deciphering the keystrokes. I trust that guy over a moron with a cliché username such as xor. Now fuck off and come back when you actually know what you're talking about.

seriously just... you're a [redacted]

this is not the same technique that you read about... it's **new, nove**l, and works on timing not the sound of the keyboard

Yknow, I tried to be nice before, but clearly you're more useless and pathetic than the idiots at the bottom "reacting" to content on YouTube. I pointed out how stupid your response was, but clearly you proved my point that you're illiterate.

If you can't be bothered to read the full comments (you probably did and just trying to make it seem as if you didn't), then don't bother replying, cunt. See, unlike you, I don't redact my words and bitch call me whatever you wanted in redacted. Please do because I don't care what a useless shitbag such as yourself says, since we can get more intelligence from Fox News. Go cry to your mother. Nobody needs your immature, almond sized brain responses. Your ego is so fragile that it makes glass bombproof, and you're a cesspool worse than aids. GTFO because nobody wants your pathetic waste of space of an existence on here.

lol, your dime store, generic insults don't work...

you're pretty sad, honestly

@alex_02@infosec.pub avatar

At least I don't redact what I say like a coward. Cope and seethe, loser.

xor ,

at least i don't write paragraphs of lame non-sequiter insults and then pretend like the other person is "seething" with anger....
super duper cliche, btw

you're so fragile a minor correction sends you into a tantrum of denial and insults...

like a fragile narcissist who can't cope with their own mediocrity

There is a term that we call you: pseudo-intellect. The only one that is getting butt hurt is you, and now it is just funny. The blocking button is there for a reason. Learn to use it. Also, you didn't correct me at all, and your stupidity is both cringe and hilarious. Cope and seethe.

Thank you! I do apologize, your parents never loved you. ^_^

Also, good job. You didn't redact whatever to try to insult me.
