Hardware Keylogger

Submitted by GeffDE
GeffDE writes "Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have built a small device that can be placed inside a keyboard to steal private data. Called a JitterBug, "it adds small and calculated delays to keypresses, creating a covert network timing channel superimposed over an already established network connection. This timing channel allows the leakage of typed secrets over a network where a passive eavesdropper, having the capability to monitor network timing, can recover these secrets. The technique works for any interactive network application (e.g. SSH, VNC, etc)." A paper writte on the subject is available here."

"People should have access to the data which you have about them. There should be a process for them to challenge any inaccuracies." -- Arthur Miller
