Anti-Wi-Fi paint for WiFi Security

Anti-Wi-Fi paint keeps your wireless signal to yourself

Developed by the University of Tokyo, the paint is said to be the first that can block radio frequency in higher spectra where Wi-Fi and other higher-bandwidth communications occur rather than just low-frequency wireless like FM radio. Most Wi-Fi technologies operate at 2.4GHz; the Tokyo paint can reportedly block frequencies all the way up to 100GHz, with a 200GHz-blocking paint now in the works.

I kept waiting for the punchline.

YouTube - HOW TO MAKE A WIFI EXTENDER

Seems more logical than a human microwave...

Of course with this method the client is not using a parabolic ant. Client: Laptop, wireless printer Wii, etc. Any hardware susceptible to attack. But it does cut down non-directed (for lack of a better term. Spurious?) emissions.


Finally there's.. https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm Make sure all hardware supports the WPA2 algorithm and at least 64 hexadecimals. No need to remember, it's save. The key would be saved in the software, right....? I don't type in that long ass string all the time.
Always config. with a network cable first!

It's made over in Tokyo? It's probably lead paint.

Sure, That makes sense.

Tokyo has lots of lead.:roll::roll::roll:

I think his post might hold some weight.

Uhm..... WPA2 enterprise if youre sooooo worried.....

I don't understand taking all this time to paint when it still will leak through windows and such. If you are so incredibly worried, don't do wireless. I would rather use WPA-2 enterprize, or even just WPA for my super-sensitive data, than using RF blocking paint along with an insecure connection.

But, but there are side channel attacks! :lol:

So will this stop my NSA employed neighbor from running TEMPEST surveillance attacks on my computer?

If you change the key by the hour, most likely. However, it would be much easier to break into the system via the internet, than breaking WPA2 Enterprise. If you want the NSA to stop spying on you, don't connect to the internet, and network everything via ethernet. Hope that helps! lol

I think someone here may need to read up on TEMPEST.

Ok N-Jay, firstly, I read the wiki on "TEMPEST" and found it confusing. I probably could figure it out, but somehow, I think it would be easier for you to summarize it.... Yes, I'm volunteering you. lol. From what I read, it basically is the NSA unintentionally monitoring comms???

Secondly, you have to admit my above post was amusing at the least. lol

 

[N_Jay]

Yes, you post is "amusing".
:lol::twisted::lol::twisted::lol::twisted::lol:
(Honest, We are laughing with you and not at you)

TEMPEST is a program to investigate and certify equipment as secure from monitoring by "Compromising emissions".

At the simplest level you can think of "Compromising emanations" as information leaks such as someone being able to receive the "noise" (RF or electrical) from your keyboard cable and decode what is being typed, or the "noise" (RF or Audio) from your monitor and decode what is being displayed.

As an example, early versions of multi-line desk phones with LEDs instead of lamps could be monitored optically by monitoring minor fluctuations in the intensity of the light.

Wow.... That's crazy. I will have to read up on that, it sounds like something I'd love to learn about. Thanks for explaining it.

And, it's ok, if you ever want to laugh at me..... by all means, do. lol

In the Navy they (used to) dog all the waterproof doors down tight and aim directional microphones toward the radio room, trying to hear the teletype machines print secure traffic and other emanations from the cryptographic receivers, same thing kinda...? All the crypto machines had a sort of metallic mesh-like material around the drawer edges to block rf and/or acoustic noise from the device from escaping.

:lol: Forget tempest lets look at the basic XOR of your wireless keyboard! :twisted: :wink:

Oh yeah! tempest??? What about Rhyolite? :lol: All your WIFI signal belong to R us

Hawha Hawha Hawha Hawha .. In the best Chinese accent I can muster

Haha, i wonder how difficult it would be to decode that.... anybody?
