New RAMBO Attack Uses RAM Radio Signals to Steal Data from Air-Gapped Networks


The RAMBO attack, developed by Dr. Mordechai Guri, leverages radio signals emitted by a device's RAM to exfiltrate sensitive data from air-gapped networks. This malware-based attack manipulates RAM to generate electromagnetic emissions, allowing data like keystrokes, encryption keys, and biometric information to be intercepted remotely using software-defined radio (SDR) hardware. RAMBO can transmit data at 1,000 bits per second, making it capable of leaking small files and keys. While the malware must first compromise the air-gapped system, countermeasures include using radio jammers, Faraday cages, and intrusion detection systems.
