Discover the first remote attack that can infer network activity without requiring a person-in-the-middle scenario in this 32-minute Black Hat conference talk. Learn how remotely measurable network packet latency contains significant side-channel information linked to victim system activities. Unlike previous attacks requiring malicious proxies or local network access, this technique works between any two arbitrary Internet users when network interaction can be initiated through simple means like pings or background downloads. Explore an end-to-end attack where victims load seemingly benign files or signed images from attacker-controlled servers, allowing attackers to spy on network activity through latency variations. See a demonstration of a no-person-in-the-middle video-fingerprinting attack that uses a single SnailLoad trace to determine what video a victim is watching. Understand how this breakthrough represents a significant advancement toward more passive, less interactive fully remote attacks across the Internet, and learn about future developments that will influence the next generation of such attacks. Presented by Daniel Gruss, InfoSec Professor at Graz University of Technology, and Stefan Gast, InfoSec Researcher at Graz University of Technology.
