DeepSec 2024 Talk: Remotely Snooping on Traffic Patterns using Network Protocols – Kirils Solovjovs
The presentation features novel research on using different protocols to remotely measure network load and deduce network traffic patterns of a target using ICMP and other widely adopted protocols. The attack allows to distinguish between file upload, file download, video streaming, VoIP, web browsing, etc. depending on network conditions. This attack works even when done from a different AS. We asked Kirils a few more questions about his talk. Please tell us the top facts about your talk. There is predictable correlation between Bandwidth, Throughput, and Latency. It is possible to remotely measure the load (throughput over bandwidth) of a network endpoint. Measured traffic patterns can be used to deduce the type of traffic at the remote network endpoint. The internet is a series of tubes. How did you come up with it? Was
