Recordings will be posted: https://blu.org/video/ Summary: Reprise of Federico's recent DEF CON 2025 talk Abstract: This is a live tutorial of hacking against keyboards of all forms. Attacking the keyboard is the ultimate strategy to hijack a session before it is encrypted, capturing plaintext at the source and (often) in much simpler ways than those required to attack network protocols. In this session we explore available attack vectors against traditional keyboards, starting with plain old keyloggers. We then advance to ?Van Eck Phreaking? style attacks against individual keystroke emanations as well as RF wireless connections, and we finally graduate to the new hotness: acoustic attacks by eavesdropping on the sound of you typing! Use your newfound knowledge for good, with great power comes great responsibility! A subset of signal leak attacks focusing on keyboards. This talk is compiled with open sources, no classified material will be discussed. Bio Federico Lucifredi is The Ceph Storage Product Management Director at Red Hat, formerly the Ubuntu Server PM at Canonical, and the Linux ?Systems Management Czar? at SUSE.
