This is cool research, but I hope people aren't viewing this as a real-world worry. By the time someone is breaking into my house to set up hundreds of dollars worth of laser equipment, I probably have bigger problems.

- blakes 7y agoIf you'd actually read the paper, you can see that they were able to inject commands through double pane glass from 75 meters away.
- adamch 7y agoI know, but I have a fence around my house. Once someone is setting up equipment around my house, why not just smash a window and steal my stuff directly?
- adimitrov 7y agoFor this attack nobody needs to break into your home. It can be executed from a distance (100m) and through "clear glass windows."

- eeZah7Ux 7y agoThe hardware can be much cheaper. Furthermore, stealing very expensive cars would pay off the cost very quickly.
- stefan_ 7y agoHuh? I mean we have seen the WiFi person detection hacks through walls that need a lot of calibration, careful setup and so on, but this was pretty straightforward. Modulate your sound signal onto the laser current and it reproduced more or less directly.
