Determining visited websites through the analysis of SSD activity from the web browser

Posted on

A group of researchers from Graz University of Technology (Austria) has developed a side-channel attack technique called FROST (Fingerprinting Remotely using OPFS-based SSD Timing), which allows for the identification of websites accessed by users with an accuracy of 88.95% through the analysis of SSD activity from JavaScript code running in the browser, as well as the applications running on the system with an accuracy of 95.83%. This method can also be used to establish a covert communication channel […]
