greetings fellow sentients; once again we find ourselves marking the passage of another year, as the american empire slides towards max headroom, if not mad max

stay safe, trust your respirator, mind your nanotech bioshields, and keep your brain sharp

Leveraging Electromagnetic Signals for Obfuscated Malware Classification

The Internet of Things (IoT) is constituted of devices that are exponentially growing in number and in complexity. They use numerous customized firmware and hardware, without taking into consideration security issues, which make them a target for cybercriminals, especially malware authors.

We will present a novel approach of using side channel information to identify the kinds of threats that are targeting the device. Using our approach, a malware analyst is able to obtain precise knowledge about malware type and identity, even in the presence of obfuscation techniques which may prevent static or symbolic binary analysis. We recorded 100,000 measurement traces from an IoT device infected by various in-the-wild malware samples and realistic benign activity. Our method does not require any modification on the target device. Thus, it can be deployed independently from the resources available without any overhead. Moreover, our approach has the advantage that it can hardly be detected and evaded by the malware authors. In our experiments, we were able to predict three generic malware types (and one benign class) with an accuracy of 99.82%. Even more, our results show that we are able to classify altered malware samples with unseen obfuscation techniques during the training phase, and to determine what kind of obfuscations were applied to the binary, which makes our approach particularly useful for malware analysts.

Yet in 2020, Byland had to find out secondhand that the company had abandoned the technology and was on the verge of going bankrupt. While his two-implant system is still working, he doesn�t know how long that will be the case. �As long as nothing goes wrong, I�m fine,� he says. �But if something does go wrong with it, well, I�m screwed. Because there�s no way of getting it fixed.�

Ross Doerr, another Second Sight patient, doesn�t mince words: �It is fantastic technology and a lousy company,� he says. He received an implant in one eye in 2019 and remembers seeing the shining lights of Christmas trees that holiday season. He was thrilled to learn in early 2020 that he was eligible for software upgrades that could further improve his vision. Yet in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, he heard troubling rumors about the company and called his Second Sight vision-rehab therapist. �She said, �Well, funny you should call. We all just got laid off,� � he remembers. �She said, �By the way, you�re not getting your upgrades.� �
