The Little Seal Bug - Optical Sound Recovery from Lightweight Reflective Objects

This course teaches learners about the "little seal bug" attack, an optical side-channel attack used to recover sound from lightweight reflective objects commonly found in home offices. The goal is to demonstrate how fluctuations in air pressure on shiny surfaces can be exploited by eavesdroppers to passively recover speech. The course aims to equip participants with the knowledge to understand and potentially defend against such attacks. The teaching method involves a presentation by experts in the field. This course is intended for individuals interested in cybersecurity, privacy, and emerging threats in the digital age.
