Infrared - Old Threat Meets New Devices

Explore the resurgence of infrared technology as a potential security threat in modern smart devices during this 30-minute conference talk from the Hack In The Box Security Conference. Delve into the technical background of devices still utilizing infrared control interfaces and analyze their hardware designs and instructions. Discover how new devices with infrared-related components, such as face recognition systems and night vision cameras, can be exploited despite not being designed for control purposes. Witness live demonstrations of how infrared fill lights in internet-connected surveillance cameras can be used to illegally control home devices, and learn about a custom-designed gadget for capturing and relaying IR control signals. Examine the potential for smartphones to record IR control codes through their CMOS sensors and slow-motion video capabilities. Discuss the implications for privacy and security in smart homes, and consider future developments in this field, including potential tracing technologies for video recording.
