Sep 09, 2024Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Hardware Security A novel side-channel attack has been found to leverage radio signals emanated by a device's random access memory (RAM) as a data exfiltration mechanism, posing a threat to air-gapped networks. The technique has been codenamed RAMBO by Dr. Mordechai Guri, the head of the Offensive Cyber Research Lab in the … [Read more...] about New RAMBO Attack Uses RAM Radio Signals to Steal Data from Air-Gapped Networks

Researches Detail 17 Malicious Frameworks Used to Attack Air-Gapped Networks
Four different malicious frameworks designed to attack air-gapped networks were detected in the first half of 2020 alone, bringing the total number of such toolkits to 17 and offering adversaries a pathway to cyber espionage and exfiltrate classified information. "All frameworks are designed to perform some form of espionage, [and] all the frameworks used USB drives as the … [Read more...] about Researches Detail 17 Malicious Frameworks Used to Attack Air-Gapped Networks
Creating Wireless Signals with Ethernet Cable to Steal Data from Air-Gapped Systems
A newly discovered data exfiltration mechanism employs Ethernet cables as a "transmitting antenna" to stealthily siphon highly-sensitive data from air-gapped systems, according to the latest research. "It's interesting that the wires that came to protect the air-gap become the vulnerability of the air gap in this attack," Dr. Mordechai Guri, the head of R&D in the Cyber … [Read more...] about Creating Wireless Signals with Ethernet Cable to Steal Data from Air-Gapped Systems
