HACKING AIR-GAPPED ISOLATED DEVICES USING VIBRATIONS FROM COOLING FANS

Specialists from a hacking course and members of the computer science department at an Israeli university have published research detailing the use of computer-installed fans to generate controlled vibrations for the purpose of extracting information from complex isolated security systems (known as air-gapped systems).

This method, known as “AiR-ViBeR”, was designed by Mordechai Guri, a specialist at Ben-Gurion University who has previously collaborated in the development of other complex and unconventional methods of data extraction.

These systems are widely used by intelligence agencies, government organizations, and business environments for storing sensitive information. The hacking course specialists claim that this kind of research is essential to know all the possible security risks in the use of these systems.
