    Study Notes

    • Spyware can track locations using WiFi SSIDs, GPS, and mobile networks, but machine learning can leverage side channels like motion and sound to predict user movements and locations.
    • Acoustic echolocation in spyware involves sending an excitation signal, recording the response, and extracting impulse response to locate within a room or identify a room.
    • Spyware can track users through motion by accessing accelerometers for commuter trips and correlating it with user activity.
    • External tools can extract a person's digital fingerprint from the 1.7 MB of data generated by each person in 2020 from platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
    • Keyloggers can identify keystrokes through temporal side channels using machine learning features like timing between keystrokes, duration of keystrokes, and stress on keystrokes.
    • Visual keyloggers can infer keystrokes from video footage, even if the keys are obscured, by monitoring semantic patterns or splicing inputs.
    • Offensive AI approaches include using deep neural networks for OCR to exfiltrate sensitive information through screenshots and using GANs for campaign resilience in breaching systems.
