Viber, or Rakuten Viber, is a cross-platform voice over IP (VoIP) and instant messaging (IM) software application owned by Japanese multinational company Rakuten, provided as freeware for the Google Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS and Linux platforms.

Is then decoded by malicious application on a smartphone placed on the same Information, and modulate it over a low frequency vibrational carrier. We implemented AiR-ViBeR, malware that encodes binary Notably, the accelerometer sensors in smartphones canīe accessed by any app without requiring the user permissions, which make thisĪttack highly evasive. Vibrations can be sensed by nearby smartphones via the integrated, sensitive We show that the malware-generated covert Malware's capability of controlling the vibrations generated by a computer, by These inaudible vibrations affect theĮntire structure on which the computer is placed. We observe that computers vibrate at a frequency correlated to the In this paper, we introduce a new type of vibrational (seismic) covertĬhannel. Including electromagnetic, magnetic, acoustic, optical, and thermal.

Various types of air-gap covert channels have been demonstrated over the years, That enable attackers to exfiltrate data from isolated, network-less computers.
