From the beautiful landscapes, to the immersive sound-design that makes you almost smell the fumes as you use your ®Stihl chainsaw to effectively harvest lumber.

Although the first-person aspects of the games are great and feature the most fluid controls i've ever witnessed, the game truly shines in management mode. The game accurately represents the daily dealings of a small lumberyard, as a 17 year veteran of that business i know what im talking about.

Not sure if sarcastic.

@Sathya too bad he didn't leave his wifi password in there; if he used the same one in the new router you might've been able to get inside his wireless network by going to his house, then use firesheep to get his SE token, then use that to login as him and do bad things ;p not that you would do bad things... but it would be a nice way to prove a point about the lack of https on the site :P

Q: Stack Overflow is getting a place of its own

there.

allquixotic

yeah, we saw that earlier ;p

they seem to be doing things that are "most wanted" (in terms of things that need to happen) eventually, but they definitely operate on Valve time... perhaps Valve time squared, or Valve time to the Valve time-th power

reading that paper on acoustic extraction of RSA keys's FAQ...

I'm pretty sure the ridiculously loud fans on rackmount servers would drown out.. everything

Jeroen Vannevel

Bob

@winterswift not certain, no, but they're very loud

and you have a lot of them

not to mention the many different machines

winterswift

@Bob obviously, I just mean if it's making the acoustic patterns there might be some scary sound-engineering way to remove it

I wouldn't really know

being a non-acoustic-engineer

Bob

with a single machine you can analyse, maybe

with a warehouse full? ehhhh

winterswift

17:12

yeah, sort of what I thought

seems a tad far-fetched

allquixotic

@winterswift basically, as long as the fans don't emit large amounts of sound in the same frequency band as the key data leaked from the CPU, you can safely ignore the fans sound with a highpass / lowpass filter

so the defense against this attack is to add a little chip to your server that deliberately emits false signatures on the same band with the same pattern

winterswift

@allquixotic that was the other thing I was wondering about, but I haven't actually read it fully

Bob

> Q12: Won't the attack be foiled by loud fan noise, or by multitasking, or by several computers in the same room?
Usually not. The interesting acoustic signals are mostly above 10KHz, whereas typical computer fan noise and normal room noise are concentrated at lower frequencies and can thus be filtered out. In task-switching systems, different tasks can be distinguished by their different acoustic spectral signatures. Using multiple cores turns out to help the attack (by shifting down the signal frequencies). When several computers are present, they can be told apart by spatial localizati…

again, not sure how accurate that would be

winterswift

ah, hm.

allquixotic

sound is just another type of EM

with a very sensitive antenna (microphone) and the right processing algorithms (and time to let them run) even a very faint signal can be isolated from an enormous amount of background noise

Bob

17:21

@allquixotic EM? no

sound is physical waves

allquixotic

@Bob ah yes, i always forget about that... but it behaves like EM, regardless

Bob

well, in that you have waves, yes

though I thought EM was transverse and sound was longitudinal? not that that will necessarily affect these attacks

allquixotic

the methods of analysis that these guys are using are not all that different from what we'd use to find a faint wifi signal in a cluttered 2.4 GHz spectrum, for instance

it's the same math

just gotta know what you're looking for

what they've effectively done is identified a predictable "signal" amidst what we'd normally consider to be just noise

whereas most normal things we consider to be signal are well-recognized protocols like wifi and BT and natural language (speech)

winterswift

I think the similarity here is more in signal processing than the nature of the wave though

allquixotic

for sure
